Sailrite walking foot sewing machines are awesome! I can sew through 4 layers of leather and canvas without a problem.
Hey Hendo
The Sailrite's are purpose made so I don't think you can go wrong if you want to spend the money. The wife is the seamstress, sailmaker, upholsterer around here. I bought her an ancient Singer walking foot sewing machine that she uses to do boat canvas etc. $250. She likes it 'cause it's all metal gears, no plastic sh*t. Had a neighbor who did boat canvas for a living. He had an ancient Joku industrial machine. Boat anchor must of weighted about 200 lbs but it would sew anything together. The fella that does canvas around our area now uses a Sailrite so it's gotta be good. Guess what I'm saying is there are others that'll work too without spending a gronicle or two to buy.
You bought well Mate, will be no disappointment there
Hi All,
Has anyone got any feedback on these machines?
I'm weighing up my options and I think I'm going to do my own upholstery and make my own cushions and covers and all of the sewing for everything etc etc etc.
I've spent many hours on the sailrite website watching their videos.
This machine seems pretty good for what I need and nothing local is available so I'll have to import.
Appreciate any feedback from people that have used these machines
Cheers

There's probably about $80 worth of filler and epoxy and hardener here. Might package it up into little bags and sell it to the local crack heads haha
Matt

We bought one last year same model but 110volt not the 220
same package we also got the Ultrafeed Collapsible Sewing Table
easy to store on the boat
Wife says the machine improves after a little use and the customer service is great

Looking good Matt. This is the most rewarding part of the whole job. It's hard work but it's called 'finishing' for a reason LOL. Congratulations on reaching 2000 posts!!
Matt, my friend - A book can never be judged by its cover alone. You have provided no cover at all.
But rather, instead, on the side of a flat outdoor lot... you are joyously giving us a most incredible trip for keel-up boat restoration. It normally takes oo-gobs of personnel in fancy highly funded and enhanced-machined factories to even come close to what you have done and are doing to AXE - by superior intelligence, sheer gumption... and... it's all being accomplished while flying through this monumental excursion by the seat of your pants!
There is/are no word or wards to accurately depict or describe you and your AXE "Creation".
I can only guess at the workings of your mind and the energy in your bones.
May good fortune consistently lay hands upon your being!

Looking great
I tried to join your facebook page I think I did something wrong Ill try again tonight
Hi All,
I am wondering if you would be able to help me please . Im getting ready to order the hardwood to do the Gunwale plank along the topside.
Im going to go wide to enable walking and somewhere to "park ya arse" as well as a nicer "wide chunky" look but I don't want to go too wide and look stupid.
How wide are your gunwales? and would you make yours wider or narrower?
Thanks in advance
