  1. Figure I give this a shot... i have 2 like new condition, Juki DLL-8700 Single Needle Sewing Machine for sale. it is an industrial machine that is quite capable and served us well to fill some orders for couple of months. the machines have been used only by capable operators of sample making or higher skillset. has been used quite lightly and has been well maintained as you can see pics of oil, filter and bobbin areas. both machines have servo motors and runs very quietly. pm me for details or to schedule a demo. Location: Palisades Park, NJ. Price: $500 (MSRP is over $700 w/o tables) Sold Individually or pm me for package price. Admins: In full disclosure, i've listed these on FB and CL at higher prices but have since taken down the listings and/or marked as sold so i can list here. PICS: Machine 1 Machine 2
  2. rub a candle on the zipper before storage...
  3. use NiMH rechargeable batteries... they tend to leak less if not at all. i've been using sanyo eneloops and only issue i had was cracking the cover (user error) and forgetting to change the batteries
  4. the local sardines found in supermarkets are good... but you should try some of the european ones... french, portugese, spanish... they are much meatier... more meat to bone/skin ratio... and way more flavorful.
  5. i recall reading somewhere that their advertised weight of kayak is the weight un-rigged, no seats, maybe even excluding the hatches and hardwares.
  6. The only role he was pretty decent was when he played the role of the crooked immigration officer banging that Australian …
  7. …understanding boats for a noob… ”plug on plane” and I’m thinking I hope no boater pull any plug on an airplane while 30k up in air… I take it that is the plug that is at the lowest point of transom that drains the boat?
  8. THANKS! googling boat part/structure names so i can educate myself and sound... somewhat smart-ish... at least avoid facepalm from readers for referencing that "thingy that goes right and left and is stuck to hull" lol!
  9. Thank you for the reply. yes bow is raised and plug is out. I was wondering about tin boats in general… assuming the hull integrity is fine, do I kill myself in researching a waterproof seam for the floor to inner “wall” or is is normal to have water drain into the bottom for the bilge pump? thanks!
  10. … about tin boats… so I got a project on hand… been sitting on my driveway as I start making a “to-do” list when i noticed… unlike fiberglass hulls, seems there ain’t no way to keep deck watertight and prevent water going into the hull keel area… am I right? And if so, it’s the bilge pump job to remove water? all boats will have some flex, alum and composites will not be completely sealed imo… or maybe flexible caulking? but even a 15’ boat the deck is going to be in pieces… thank in advance Al
  11. Damn… I pulled the trigger on the project… but would love to see pics! if local to NJ, I can be motivated to go see in person!
  12. i've been using quadlok for some time now... like the locking system... but the only issue i have on my car is that even with AC full on, the phone gets hot on dash and thermal shutdown. same issues with gopros and other electronics... the heat is a concern if exposed to sun.
