The Retirement Thread

[172traindriver]

Mr WD has taken my old Singer sewing machine apart.....and put it back together again and it works.

There must be a reason for him doing that.
You'll be busy

Did it work before and are there any pieces left over?

Sounds like you havent got much faith in Mr Dragon

A treddle I assume.
Mrs D used to repair them as well.

Not a treacle. Just turn the handle.

Did not break it. The tension wasn't working properly.

Clue: It's not a movie.

Totally rehydrated after my gym efforts, is it too early to go to bed I am knackered.

Big, no huge decision in the morning Spoons Lincoln or Spoons Donny for brekkie.

Screw(s) on the spool housing on the lower, two compression plates adjusted by knurled screw on the upper.

To be fair if a pair of nuts cannot sort a screw out there is no hope.
