OK, so here’s the problem I running into. I set the cams exactly as you described, then I positioned the handle at the wheel at 12 o’clock inserted the shuttle at 3 o’clock. When I inserted the bobbin and shut the bobbin cover. Everything is good right? It is picking up the bobbin thread, but it gets in a knot all around the bobbin. I can’t figure this problem out. I’m using a standard needle and thread so it’s not a problem with those two items. I polished the bobbin and shuttle to ensure the thread didn’t tangle due to fish hooks or something else. The timing should be correct. I went step by step to ensure it is. But obviously something is off. Any ideas??

I just got my machine and can't get a single stich even following your video

interesting, but how long did it last?

A lot of the cons you say are the company you bought it from.

Great video

My thread keeps breaking about a half inch after the needle. It don't pick up the bobbin thread and top thread keeps binding in the bobbin compartment, what should I try?

Thanks for a really well done video reviewing The Lost Ways. Particularly the pros and cons of this book. Agreed, if you spent the time, and one would spend months just to go out and gather the info, and money to print it one’s own book would cost a great deal more. Also, lost, as in the title, does not mean unknown by anyone. Many of these topics were taught to me by my father and grandfather…..back in the 1960’s and 70’s. I am now 64 years old and no longer recall much of the particulars. Great to have it in one book!

Hi I was wondering if there is anything that you could suggest to prevent the walking foot from marking leather ? Thanks in advance

I really appreciate your excellent explanations of how to set up this beast! However, I have problems with the bottom thread bunching up, any suggestions? Craig

Lots of great info

Paper only has strength when dry this is because of hydrogen bonding. As soon as you wet the paper or cardboard the hydrogen bonds all along the fibres break because water is polar and the water breaks the Hydrogen bonds. It could be interesting to try making a hat etc by placing randomly oriented hemp fibres over a shape and let them dry and the hydrogen bonds to form then fix them in a flexible nonpolar resin like silicone resin. It would be waterproof and strong but would not breathe like fur felt but it could make a great reinforced silicone mould. Silicone usually has low tensile strength so it could make a useful composite material

Great Video, I loved it. But I have a unique issue I hope you can help me with...or someone can help me with. I am having an issue with the needle striking my feed foot only when feeding in (away from me) or feeding out (toward me) feeding right or left the needle runs in the middle of the opening in the feed foot. If I adjust the food to have the needle centered in the foot and the foot centered on the pass hole for the needle when feeding in it works in every position but feeding out then the outside of the foot covers the through hole and get needle strike with the foot. Any ideas on how to correct this issue?

Ive been watching heaps of videos on youtube lately to find out the processing of hemp in the hobby scale, your two videos have been the best by far in my search. Thank you for sharing this info

I absolutely enjoyed this , and I needed to know all of what you went over , thank you so much

Excellent video my man. I truly appreciate it and I did subscribe and I plan to get the book. 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

I HAD THAT SAME PROBLEM YOUR INSTRUCTIONS STILL DID NIT WORK-- SO I ROTATED THE BOBBIN HOLDER WITH THAT TOOTH ON IT CLOCKWISE SO THAT HOOK WAS PAST THE NEEDLE SO NOW WHEN THE BOBBIB HOLDER SPINS PAST THE NEEDLE IT GRABS THE THREAD EVERY G D TIME. Rotate no in holder hook at about 10:00 or just past or clockwise past the needle and that hook will pull up your bobbin thread every time. ITS ALL ABOUT THE HOOK ON THE BOBBIN HOLDER- Period

Outstanding show. I’ve done EVERYTHING OVER N OVER N OVER AGAING VERY METHODICALLY AND THE NEEDLE STILL WILLNOT PULL UP THE THREAD FROM THE BOBBIN. And the one time it did I sewed a few inches of 7/8 oz leather and the top stitching looked great but the bottom just had a bunch of threads hanging there. So my main problem is THE NEEDLE WILL NOT LIFT THREAD UP N OUT FROM THE BOBBIN- PLEASE HELP ME,I REALLY WANT TO DO THIS FOR MY LEATHER BIZZ IVE BEEN MAKING SINCE 1969, God bless you Please help me,what cud possibly be going wrong? I’ve followed every instruction very methodically and still it doesn’t work. Thank you so much🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

I just wanted to say thank you so much for taking the time to make this. I watched this once waiting for it to arrive, and a second time to actually reassemble it and make sure I didn't miss anything (I did). It's hard to describe how big of an impact a proper cleaning and greasing can make. This went from a crunchy, sticky, barely functioning machine - practically speaking it would be unusable, to something that operates buttery smooth and feels like a robust machine made before planned obsolescence. Like I just found a treasure in a thrift shop. I never would have been able to get this back together, or even have had the confidence to take this apart if not for this video and I'm extremely thankful for it. To anyone considering doing this, or on the fence, if you've already got a dremel and some spare elbow grease this is definitely worth it! Other than saving a lot of money, the hidden benefit of DIYing this machine vs buying a far more expensive machine is that you also end up learning how every piece of it works as you put it back together - so maintenance in the future will be a lot less daunting and quicker. Again, thank you so much!

Love your videos. By the way the T-Shirt is AWESOME!!!!

Thanks for the help… I did get my finger alil, but the shoes came out great

The bearing is 6001-zzc3 if you can't remember where in the video it is.

Usted podrá espligar como se puede colocar el hilo en la máquina yo tengo esa máquina pero cuando estoy cociendo el hilo se me revienta ve

Thanks to Harrison, Mine is up and running as advertised. As a retired tool and cutter grinder, I am very familiar with oil ports on machine tools. One that got missed in this video is the small brass colored screw that is between the two rocker arm oiling ports. Unscrew it and put a drop or two in there to lube the shank of the bolt that runs thruthe frame and connects both rocker arms. That bolt has no bearing, so there is direct contact with the hole. On mine, the bolt does not rotate with the rockers, but I don't want it to corrode due to dis-similar metals in contact. When in doubt: Apply Oil

New subscriber here. I just received my new to me sewing machine!!

Thanks for free tutorials and Q&As. I'm having issues with my machine. The upper thread goes under the bobbin-well (bobbin-axis? on the market) and gets entangled around the gear where the rod runs on. I have no idea what to do to stop this from happening. I'd appreciate very much if anyone could help. I'm also having the absurdly high thread tension to the point I can snap a thread by just tugging it to the needle. I'm polishing everywhere like mad to fix this issue as I speak. (I don't think my machine was built right. I had to remove one of two pressure foot springs not to pole holes in the leather, too.)

Hello. I just got a CLSP. I did everything but the upper thread keeps getting under the bobbin instead of picking the lower thread up. Maybe the thread leaping is too right. I keep the nut as loose as possible but I swear I can cycle the machine by tugging the upper thread before it snaps rather than be pulled out a bit more; because it's so tight. Is this normal? I don't think it is... I might blow a couple hundred bucks to solve this issue at some repair shop.

Hey thx man. Ur vids really did the job. Mine is running fine. I just got it friday too lol.

I'm expecting my machine in a day or so, and have found your channel to be the very best tutorial on the subject I can possibly imagine. I have no questions. It's that good. That said, I have just one request: Better lighting for your videos. Two clamp-on lights would make all the difference. Thank you so much, and I'm looking forward to learning everything I can.

I have watched all three of your bobbin thread Q&A’s, and I simply have not been able to resolve my issue. I have not been able to find another video with a solution. I just recently purchased my machine. “New upgraded version “. 😂 Absolutely can not pickup bobbin thread. At wits end.

As an idea, how about using a rolling pin for stretching the fibers. Rounded, rolls back and forth without cutting fibers and easy to make/acquire

Great video, thanks!

Thanks for making the video, I have one of these machines and I like it, I find it user-friendly and easily customizable and modifiable, I haven't touched a motor to my machine yet but that may be something I will do in the future so I have the option, I made a couple of videos showing what I have done to my machine to customize or modify it, I'm always interested in seeing what other people are doing to & with their machines thanks again 👍🏻🙂

Hello, what town are you located in?

I just purchased this machine. I can get the bottom thread out with the needle but when I try to sew I snap the top thread. Not sure what to do. Take it in to get it serviced or can you give me some instructions on what might be going on.

Awesome video ! I’m trying to start my set up soon with a 50 gallon. How much do the prawns end up weighing around full size ??

Hi. I’ve watched all your videos about the machine not picking up the thread and have adjusted everything according to the videos but still can’t get the needle to pick up the bobbin thread. Any other thoughts?

I just got a Chinese leather sewing machine and the bobbin winder to wind the bobbin does not work. Can you give me some instructions on how to fix the problem because I do not want to always have to wind the bobbin by hand

Your video saved my ass! I was leaving for vacation to MX. The day before I was messing around with my 4wd selector and it got struck in 4low! Non refundable hotel, non refundable MX car insurance, I was screwed 😢! Then, I ran across your video. Had it back in 2wd in 20 minutes thanks to your video! I'll get a new actuator when I get home. Gracias, amigo!

I've had this problem. Now I have fixed my 4 wheel drive. All operates from inside cab. About 70bucks.

When setting your cams back on, use a business card pinched between the cam and the shaft block. Once tight, pull out the card and spacing should be good and consistent.

New to CLSP and your channel but love your concise narrations. For springs, I suggest getting 12 inches of heavy thread, stick it through the end of the spring, fold thread in half and pull up on the string to stretch the spring onto its post (biker trick). Also, while apart, get a cheap tap set with the 4 smallest metric threads ($5) and run all threads on all parts. Experience has taught me that when a Chinese manufacture uses the same taps 50,000 times, the threads they cut are BAD. My bobbin cover screw came with damaged threads and the hole had no clean threads. Tapped it out, got a longer screw, put in a drill and reduced the screw head diameter and taper to make it more counter-sunk and smoother on top. Also used bright heat shrink tubing on foot lift lever and sewing head swivel ears. Easy to see and gives them a rubber-like coating.

Great video. I've got a 90 gallon not in use. These are what I'll wanted to do with it.

I’ve watched this video a couple of times as well as a couple other of your videos, I’m not having any luck at all getting my bobbin to feed. I got my machine, barely used, and it was working when I took it home and was working until I tried to change the thread

Hey how did you set you stitcher up for heavier leathers

An excellent video! Very informative.

I was having issues with my machine after I took the whole thing out like you mentioned. I followed your steps and now my machine is back to working properly. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

I got the wrong one I needed the glue for sneakers but got the boot glue. Will it still work?

thansk

You don’t have to remove the clamp to install the needle.
