    Help? Pfaff sewing machine

    I would never pay $150. Checking the brushes is free, replacing them is less than $10 and cleaning the commutator is free. Worst case, you break something. The machine is inoperable now, so no loss. If you don’t get it back working, vintage domestic machines can be had cheap on FBMP. Here’s...

    Help? Pfaff sewing machine

    The motor should have carbon brushes connected to a spring. The carbon brushes push against a commutator. The brushes wear down and may need to be replaced. Also the commutator probably needs to be cleaned. Carbon brushes are only a couple bucks. Below is one video on brushes and commutator...

    Best crank cocker crossbow (had a shoulder replacement)

    Thanks! The venom x that was recommended is ten point and has the acuslide. Maybe it is an update to the acudraw. https://www.tenpointcrossbows.com/product/venom-x/ I am leaning towards ten point for the crossbow.

    Best crank cocker crossbow (had a shoulder replacement)

    Thank you. I am doing really great with my operated shoulder. Way more range of motion and strength than my non-operated shoulder, no arthritis pain. Just a little muscle soreness as I am rehabbing.

    Best crank cocker crossbow (had a shoulder replacement)

    Thanks! I am going to research it and maybe take a ride to Lancaster Archery Supply if they have that model. I want to get it set up and shooting well before I go get the other shoulder taken care of. Thanks!

    Best crank cocker crossbow (had a shoulder replacement)

    I don’t need fast. 300fps is fine. Any faster and I will just get heavier bolts. Also, I would like a way to uncock the crossbow without shooting it. Thx

    Best crank cocker crossbow (had a shoulder replacement)

    I am in the market for a new crossbow. I have mostly recovered from an anatomic total shoulder replacement on my left shoulder and plan on having same done in my right shoulder (most likely before season or after the rut).

    Mystery Ranch Ewwwwwwww

    On the Zojirushi - Open the lid, set the mug down, knock the mug over and result is spilled liquid. On the contigo - press the button to open the lid, set the mug down (opening automatically closes), knock the mug over and this results in NO spilled liquid. I have only seen Stanley and...

    Mystery Ranch Ewwwwwwww

    The absolute best child proof (as in won’t spill / dispense liquid if the user is not actively pushing in the button) keep my coffee hot for a long time mug ever made. If only the Zojirushi mugs were child proof, then they would beat the contigo. The contigo has a cult like following with the...

    Sewing Machine Deals for the DIY Guys

    jhunter13 knows what he speaks about. Your next one is on the horizon. And I’ll give you a reason. One machine is to be used for regular sewing and one is to be used with attachments as a machine to do binding.
