Workshop tour via YouTube?

Post by menderlentusesse »

Provided that you don't consider this request to be prying into your privacy, Hawkeye, I think it would be interesting to see how you have the UW Gear workshop set up. Specifically, I'm curious to learn what equipment you use to build and repair the gear you make, and how you keep things organized.

Wise logistics in prepared neighborhoods will count for a lot in lean times, so if we can learn from your experience, we might be better able to fabricate and maintain personal equipment for our neighborhood preparedness groups.

Sorry I didn't see this sooner. There's not a lot to see really. It's honestly pretty underwhelming, but here you go.

I'm not underwhelmed at all. I'm encouraged. Without too much trouble I could set up something similar in my garage.

Which sewing machine(s) would you recommend?

Thanks!

Some of the best gear comes from the smallest shops. Hand made one at a time. We have become a nation that doesn't value craftsmanship as we once did. Good on ya brother

This a decent place to start. https://sewinggold.com/shop/ Just have to decide if you want a single needle machine or a walking foot. I'm still using single needle machines but I wouldn't mind picking up a walking foot one day.
