Thanks for commenting! I checked out your channel. You have a Maincoon?! Are they really as big as we've heard? What are their personalities like?

If you are asking about the bright metal pieces, I do both. Round shafts are chucked into an electric drill mounted on a wood frame, turned, and many stages of increasing fine grit sand paper applied by hand up to 12,000-mesh. The head of a screw usually takes ten minutes. A shaft like a needle bar takes 20. Odd shaped pieces are done completely by hand. A presser foot takes half an hour. Thanks for the comment!

Can you please confirm the needle used and source. I have dimensions and know it is not a 24x1 or WGx64. It is round shank, has a scarf. I have taken dimensions of the needle in my machine, which can make only a few stitches, but my eyes are not good enough to guarantee my numbers as exact . thank you

Hi, Maria! I'll be glad to measure our needle and find the closest size to commercial needles. Please give me a little time to get the machine out of storage.

The needle in our machine is 38mm from the tip to the end of the shank, 33.2mm from the end of the shank to the eye and the round shank is 1.7mm in diameter. The needle has no scarf. The closest match I could find is a Singer 16x1 or 16x73. A scarfed needle should work, which would be a Singer 16x87, 95, 132, or 257. A Singer 71x1 should also be okay. A Schmetz 12:05 1 also looks like a good fit as does an Organ 16x257 scarfed needle. I hope this helps. Good luck and thanks for commenting!

@@wayneschmidt490 Thank you, so much, Wayne! The needle in mine, which made a few stitches before I purchased it at an ISMACS auction, must have been slid down a bit. I realize that after cataract surgery, me and a caliper AND threading a needle do not go well together. I tried to measure the one from my machine, but the numbers were quite different. 35.5mm total length, 31.95mm to top of eye and 2.05mm shank. I have the needles you suggested and will give it a try.

I watched the video twice, but I'm afraid I can't tell what it is. Does it have any writing on it? Can you make another video with better lighting and focus and move a little slower so I can make out more details?

@@graceygal2664 Thank you! The new video helped a lot. My best guess is that you have a German, Bernhard Stoewer sewing machine. The Serata brand was registered in 1905 so we know it's not any older than that. I found two other similar models and based on their serial numbers believe yours may have been made around 1918, but there is so little information about this maker that I wouldn't put too much faith in that date. It appears to be a close copy to a Singer 127K, but one reference stated it was built much better and worked better. I hope this helps.
