Not many do. I'm on the farm not far from a county road and I've pulled dozens out of ditches. I always tell them to hook on to whatever you want because I'm not going to be responsible for pulling off bumpers, etc. And yet, I've pulled off bumpers and other parts and then been yelled at for not telling them what they should hook up to. Even the successful times I've only been offered payment a few times that I never accepted and usually just a bare thanks and most times not even that.
Not really. The tow-out driver was doing it properly - that’s the correct way of using a snatch strap. Build up a little inertia in the tow vehicle before the slack gets taken out of the strap, and the rebound effect of the strap will give an added boost to get the mired vehicle out. The fault lays entirely with the idiot who attached the strap to the stuck vehicle.
# 1. Way back when we had pagers instead of cell phones I was doing a job for a friend.. He was having problems with a light in his kitchen, the thing was older than we were and it was time to replace it... So I'm on a latter disconnecting the hot wire, I had turned off the breaker, when that fucking pager goes off in my pocket.. Not going to lie, it scared the shit out of me JD
4. I shot a cell phone with a 30-06 at 300 yards. All it did was put a hole in it. 8. That's basically how my cat wakes me up every morning. 9.Now drive off.
Never seen a sewing machine, eh? It goes on a shaft under the sewing surface and holds bobbins (small spools) of (usually) matching thread. The machine also has a mechanism to spool the bobbins, frequently an arm that pops out by the drive wheel and turns by friction. Newer machines have a system on top that is easier to use.
The lock thread is in a bobbin that free spins inside the bobbin housing, which has a thread friction plate. The bobbin housing sets inside the cup of the hook shuttle sets on a crescent shaped cradle that is attached to the drive shaft. As the bobbin is now just rattling around in a cup (figuratively speaking) the thread that ostensibly gets caught on the drive shaft is, instead, slipping betwixt the crescent and the hook shuttle. Surprisingly little information available on y tube.
What nobody actually says: the purpose of the shuttle and s. hook is to pass the needle thread completely around the bobbin. The only way you can do the lockstich.
I still do. Notice that the thread loop passes all the way around the shuttle hook assembly. Whatever's holding up the shuttle hook assembly (and driving the shuttle hook itself) isn't shown.
I found this video, and it explains there's a "gap" in the drive shaft for the thread to pass through. It looks like there's a lever which makes the drive shaft disengage and re-engage with each cycle, and there's a bearing or something to support the assembly when it's not engaged.
I still don't quite get how the whole thing works.
#2 My Mama taught me to sew by hand a bit, and showed me more than once how to thread and use her sewing machines. I couldn't get it right more than once in a blue moon.
I have my great-grandmother's old treadle sewing machine. Just got a belt for it, & my mother is going to show me how to set it up. She's 80, & used it when she was young. --Tennessee Budd
That would be very cool! Take it to the shop to get it cleaned, lubed, and have the timing set and it'll go for 100 years. I'd love to be able to do that, especially with my mom. She's long gone. Cherish the memories and teach your kids how to use it.

Deletedon't take the chains off until they thank you etal.....I've had them almost run me over after un-hooking...
DeleteAnd always have the chain or rope attached to your own vehicle FIRST. Your Lawyer will thank you.

He's not asking how to thread a bobbin, he's asking what holds the thing in place.
DeleteIt's not like it's just freefloating in mid-air. Something has to secure it and that would interfere with the thread making a complete circle.
The lock thread is in a bobbin that free spins inside the bobbin housing, which has a thread friction plate. The bobbin housing sets inside the cup of the hook shuttle sets on a crescent shaped cradle that is attached to the drive shaft. As the bobbin is now just rattling around in a cup (figuratively speaking) the thread that ostensibly gets caught on the drive shaft is, instead, slipping betwixt the crescent and the hook shuttle.

Delete#6 I'd like to know the story where the helicopter almost lands on the road. Looks like the vehicle in front was pulling over.
ReplyDeleteJudging by the rack mounted on the vehicle, I would think a good guess would be making a film.
Delete#2 I always wondered how that worked.
ReplyDeleteMe and you both.
DeleteI still do. Notice that the thread loop passes all the way around the shuttle hook assembly. Whatever's holding up the shuttle hook assembly (and driving the shuttle hook itself) isn't shown.
