I'd love to hear what you use them for. I saw lots of ideas on Amazon, but would love to see how someone else is actually incorporating them.

My mom had an ancient Singer and she never wanted to upgrade it. It didn't have a lot of features and the electric motor was actually retrofitted but the damn thing could sew through leather if it wasn't too thick.

Yup, even if you take it yo a shop fit a professional tune up at $100 or so, still worth it :) Great find, enjoy.

they went oversea like 2-3 years ago

​

they garbo for a minute now

it'll be garbage after 1 hard season

​

my day-walkers only lasted 3 seasons, and thats just too and from work

pretty sure they arent made in north america anymore.

​

they suck ass IMO - best snow boots so far for me

Muckboots - Arctic Sport Extremes

Victorinox Climber in classic red cellidor. Bought mine 27 years ago as an electrician on an aircraft carrier. It’s still in my EDC rotation (others are a Vic Compact, Vic Voyageur Alox, and a Vic CyberTool M).

I just bought this same model for the same price, but with a cabinet. $30 alone is still a good price. Aside from the top gear that's plastic and can fail, these machines run forever and are heavy duty enough to handle denim

Edit: just want to say that old, pre 80's, Singers are the ones that run forever. Newer ones have a bad reputation for going to shit quickly. I believe the one you have is late 60's early 70's

Varusteleka.com , try there, brand is Särma

Noise cancelling, bluetooth, fantastic audio quality for the price, comfortable, good battery life. I use them at work.
Sennheiser HD 450BT

This was my first thought. There’s a decent chance this is going to be way more simple to wire than OP imagines. Could also be way, way more complicated too. But a can light is your only possible true BIFL option

Cotopaxi 35L or the 40L (that one has a water bottle holder and a shoulder strap). Great organization features. I'm not sure of it's availability outside of the US.

Check out Dutch brand Joe Merino. I've two and a dozen pairs of the socks. Only about five years into my jumper, but it's not showing any wear yet. https://www.joemerino.com/en_us/

My cats will definitely find a patch of sunlight wherever they can.

Commando.

Agreed. In my experience, their single wool items offer the best durability. They have a tighter knitting.

Don't know where you are but oftentimes you can hop between EU Amazon stores just by changing the domain name (the country part) on the URL. Like so: https://www.amazon.de/Wahl-Super-Micro-Mains-Clipper/dp/B0060JFENI

Also, the UK version might already include an adapter and if not you can buy them in many generic stores for cheap. It's not a stepdown/up converter, it's literally just routing the pins to fit the plug.

This is why it might work in a closet, set to motion activated, where you only need it for a few minutes at a time. But not gonna cut it for extended use.

In the window. Ours is lying on a shelf. We have one on a windowsill.

We used to have one hanging on a curtain rod, but replaced it.

Anywhere sun is daily.

My favorite joke is to place the solar panels near your cats. They have always been solar powered. 🤗

Have you asked an electrician about feeding a wire there? It’s amazing what can be done with minimal disruption to finishing (sometimes).

If the light is inside, where does the solar panel go?

Chemical resistant neoprene gloves are what I prefer

Tanner goods workman. Their leather is super durable. Veg tan wears in nice and finishing is top notch. Wife and I both carry their products. Portland.

I love my Tortuga bag!

That's what I've started doing also. I also have a thrufted Springfield sweater. Some of the are really well made. Some I had front zipper installed on so I can regulate my temperature better.
