Does anybody have a manual for this old Imperial #sewing machine?
I'm trying to tune it. I think I also need a new tensioner

Yes I still week for #FightingIsMagic and I'll likely build myself an #arcade #machine / #ArcadeCabinet just for this game!
- Just not in the foreseeable future...

A Field Expedient Welder, Only MacGyver Could Love.
If you needed to weld something in a pinch, what’s the minimum complement of equipment you could get away with? In [Professor Bardal’s] case, it’s a couple of motorcycle batteries and a roll of flux-core wire, and not much else.
![I suspect this one is going to elicit quite a few comments, not least by the welding fans who no doubt will be triggered by just about everything in the video, especially by characterizing this as MIG welding [it’s FCAW or flux-core arc welding].
But it bears some superficial similarities to MIG, at least insofar as there’s a consumable wire electrode through which a high-current DC supply flows, creating enough heat to melt it and the base metal.](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/591/032/674/382/165/original/e2e9c4ab91865ca0.jpeg "I suspect this one is going to elicit quite a few comments, not least by the welding fans who no doubt will be triggered by just about everything in the video, especially by characterizing this as MIG welding [it’s FCAW or flux-core arc welding].

In this case, the current is provided by a pair of 12-volt motorcycle batteries hooked together in series. There’s also a torch of sorts — a short length of copper capillary tubing with a 1-mm inside diameter clamped in the jaws of a stick welder stinger, or a pair of locking pliers if you’re really in a pinch. The torch is connected to the negative terminal on the battery with a jumper cable, and the positive terminal is connected to the workpiece.
To create the weld, a piece of 0.8-mm flux-core welding wire is threaded through the capillary and into the joint, and fed by hand as it’s consumed. It’s awkward and awful, but it works. Of course, there’s no control over amperage as there would be with a legit welding machine, which would make it hard to adapt this method to different materials. Weld quality appears poor, too. But I suspect that if you were in a position to need a welder like this, you wouldn’t really care about any of that.](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/591/033/782/268/058/original/d8f26805ba151709.png "[ImageSource: Professor Bardal]

Foreign workers
Accepting immigrants is one option, but I hope it doesn't end up like Japan.

note（ノート）Foreign workers｜ポイズン雷花Accepting immigrants is one option, but I hope it doesn't end up like Japan. In Japan, foreign workers are often subjected to discrimination! They let in a lot of people when they're needed, and when they're no longer needed, they're cut off. "You don't need to be here, go back to your country."

Я сподіваюся, що прийняти іммігрантів є одним із варіантів і що ми не закінчимо, як Японія.

Someone is selling the other half to our old treshing machine, a winnowing machine.
While the tresher beats the tops off the straw, the winnower blows the chaff out of the grain while shaking it.
This one has been converted to electric power and is in good shape by the looks of it. They want €700.

...and there is no nature vs technology paradigm...
#nature IS #technology and the earth IS, essentially, a giant spaceship
...like....duh...cant you see that by now? how everything runs "like a #machine" ...but without being made by any human hands?
Checked on the crooked old shack down by the river. Roof still needs patching 
Not much in there, a couple tractor wheels, more doors, some glass bricks, a bunch of old lumber and some other crap.
And a P.H. Mayfarth Stiftendrescher (threshing machine).
No idea if it has all the parts, it doesn't have the hand cranks, so probably the version for powering by horse-engine (or later steam engine).
It doesn't appear to be as heavy as I thought, so maybe I can drag it out of there and move it to the tractor barn for now, which is much dryer.
Might be a fun restoration project when I'm done with everything else. Definitely worth saving.

Day 13 of #Brompton #Spring #Cycling tour: Noirmoutier-en-l'Île -> Pornic (58 km, including, to leave the Noirmoutier #island ,the famous "Passage du Gois" ,a road submerged by the #sea most of the time and only passable twice a day for around two hours at low tide, as well as a #surprise encounter in the middle of #nowhere with an indefinable multi-tasking #cycling #machine .
Building Wallace & Gromit #breakfast #machine in real life. This is sheer genius
