    I agree with you CWV. TAC went to a lot of trouble to re-create that attachment and I'm not sure why they'd leave out such a crucial component.

    That's my grail right there. I've offered stupid money for one of those original binding attachments, all to no avail. Still, one can dream.

    https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/phoenix-hat-company.93410/page-8 About 2/3 down this page are a few pics of how I lure my hats. I heat the coconut oil (maybe a quarter teaspoon of the solid or 4-5 drops if I'm using liquid oil) in a small pan to just below the smoking point. Keep in...

    Be sure to let her know that, next time around, dinner's on me. If you were at the food truck court on Central, you were about a block away from my house in the historic "Happy Holler" neighborhood.

    I'm amazed at the contrast between the wrestler Kane and our fine mayor Mr. Jacobs. In person, he is somewhat soft-spoken, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about this community and the people in it. By the same token, he has a commanding presence that precludes any thought of ever wanting to mess...

    Yep, same machine CWV. I was curious about the contradiction of the centennial badge and the stated age of machine. I could also see it was missing some crucial parts so I contacted the seller to see if he might have those parts lying around, but he told me that he'd purchased it at an estate...

    After many years of searching, I've finally been able to add a rare and elusive Singer 25-56 straw braid sewing machine to the arsenal. The problem was the machine was missing the top two sections of the needle bar which consist of an insert and thread guide cap that are critical to operation of...

    You're more than welcome Max. You always make my hats look better than they actually are, but I think the proportions of this natural and navy suit you perfectly. Wear it in good health mi amigo. Also, thank you for giving me the opportunity to own one of the elusive Allie-Maillard...

    That Reimers machine is first rate CWV. Your dedication to acquiring the tools of the trade is impressive indeed.

    It's good to hear from you Regan. I'm happy to hear your Trekker is still giving you good, reliable service. I finally have one of my own and it's become my favorite "grab and go" hat. As to the straw hats, it'll be just Milan and Hemp to begin with. I'll definitely keep you posted old buddy. Be...
