What did you do in your garage today..?

I wanted a flag/light mount for my Zodiac but I didn't want to drill holes into my transom, so I made this out of a combination of flattened ABS pipe, and a piece of pipe with a threaded insert at the top. It slides on from the top and is held in place with the factory installed launching wheel mounting points. You can see the yellow glue at the joints.

B found an 1891 sewing machine. It was seized up solid, so after sitting with a little oil here and there, we got it to move today and started cleaning it. A lot of cool machining in this thing.

A little rusty after 134 years.

I used to have a collection of these, gave them away when I sold my sewing business.

I’ll bet that old Singer could punch leathers. Back in the day those made everything - including leather tack.

I still have a couple of old machines - one for fur and, and for heavy materials like leather and canvas.
