1882 SINGER Sewing Machine Restoration. Working after 140 years!!!
I have long wanted to understand how a sewing machine works. And then, quite by accident, I stumbled upon an old rusty sewing machine at a flea market. The seller told me that it was made in the late 1940s or 50s, but due to the unusual shape of the base, I guessed that it was made much earlier.
Already at home, I studied a lot of material regarding this model of a sewing machine. As it turned out the name of the model "Singer 12K". The figure base is called "Fiddlebase", and according to information from the forums, it is now quite rare to find it on sale.
During the repair process, I found her serial number, and after checking on the official website of Singer sewing machines, I found out the year of her production - 1882.
Restoration process:
The disassembly phase was pretty easy. Then I sandblasted most of the parts in a sandblasting chamber.
All metal parts were then primed and painted.
Some parts of the sewing machine were lost or broken and I had to remake them.
In general, the work on the sewing machine required the maximum amount of patience from me and took about 14 days, so I will be grateful for feedback from you in the form of comments and "thumbs up"

I hope you used Singer Sewing machine oil. You don't want to void the warranty.
It really was very funny😁😁😁
Too funny. What a MASTERPIECE!!
I have three. One modern, two antique...foot pedal and heavy duty
На это можно смотреть бесконечно! 🎉😍👍

I can’t imagine how excited someone must have been way back in 1882 to get this machine. Such an improvement over hand stitching.
You're right! I read somewhere that owning such a sewing machine in the late 1800s was considered incredible pride for any housewife.
@@ITBR_Restoration Для меня тоже гордость обладать такой вещью... Мало того... Она Шьёт кожу и мех...... Работяжка моя....
@@ITBR_Restoration my great grandmother raised 3 kids on the work she did with hers!
@@jmahonatam My granny had one. That beat is like a music and perfection of stitches ❤
Have you used any of these "antique" sewing machines? I have, and I enjoyed using them more than I do using my modern electric machine, which is why I am on the lookout for a treadle SingervSewing Machine
I restored my grandmother's 1929 Singer treadle model 127 two years ago, it now works like a new machine, perfect stitching every time. Really just need a deep deep cleaning and proper adjustment. All of the components were still good. Singer made some damn good machines for mass production. Tolerances are amazing, performance is legendary. It's why people still fix these old beauties, they can still do exactly what they were made to do nearly, and over, a century ago. Nice work on this old fiddle base!
Yes, they did make very good quality machines.
I love my old Singer machines. They are remarkable.
*Thank you* for not NOT having bad generic free-library background music or narration. Much appreciated.
Макс, я в восхищении ! Ваша работа - это дань уважения и прикосновение к истории ! Ваша энергия созидания и душевного мира. Браво, мастер ! ❤️🔥😊👍
Your videos are so relaxing, could watch you for hours, no talking, no music, just the sounds of hard work happening and I’m here for it!!!!!
Thank you so much for your feedback and for watching my videos!!!! I appreciate it very much!
condivido il tuo pensiero..👌
As a seamstress, I am amazed at the combined ability of yourself to restore this machine and the fact that the mechanism still holds up today. Beautiful job.
Thank you. It was not difficult to restore the parts, it took quite a lot of time to adjust the mechanism, the shuttle did not want to hook the upper thread in any way.)))
Отличная работа...!!! Получил истинное удовольствие от просмотра,самое главное тишина и естественные звуки...
Спасибо! На удивление мне самому видео понравилось 😊, пересмотрел уже несколько раз 😁😁😁
Действительно, естественные звуки очень приятно слушать в отличие от какой-нибудь раздражающей музыки, из-за которой даже не хочется и видео смотреть.
Только я не верю, что она хорошо шьёт.
Вот это да! Молодец!!! Как новенькая,только что с конвейера! Браво умельцу,золотые руки!!
👍👍👍Спасибо!!!
Это просто потрясающая работа! Машинка возродилась,засияла своей красотой из тех далёких годов и заработала чудесно!! Строчка очень красивая! Вы просто кудесник,видео можно смотреть бесконечно! Желаю дальнейших интересных открытий!!😍😍😍
🙏🙏🙏
Спасибо, отличная работа, старые вещи дышат прошедшей эпохой и от этого немного грустно. В наше время редко встретишь таких изящных вещей. Успехов вам в вашем хобби.
Спасибо Вам большое за поддержку!👍👍👍
Ещё 140 лет пусть прослужит!!! Браво!!!
Думаю что вы правы. Спасибо
*_This is not a restoration... it's a resurrection! Amazing job as usual_*
Вот это очень похвально! Такой раритет починить не каждый сможет. Респект, Макс!
Спасибо) Мне этот раритет тоже хлопот доставил))) особенно на этапе регулировки)))
@@ITBR_Restoration на здоровье =) Главное, что результат того стоит
Классное видео.Прекрасное прошлое вернули в жизнь.Очень здорово получилось!
Спасибо за ваш отзыв.!!!!
Мастер просто МАСТЕР. А моя ножная машинка, правда домашнего хранения, исправно работает всё свои 125 лет
Макс, спасибо, это были прекрасные минуты воскрешения на глазах!❤❤❤
Потрясающе! Спасибо автору за работу. У моей бабушки была такая машинка. И я даже на ней что-то шила. До сих пор помню, как нитки в эту странную продолговатую втулку вставляла. К сожалению мы машинку не сохранили.
Спасибо большое за поддержку!!! Очень нравится читать истории людей связанные со швейной машинкой. Судя по комментариям, очень многим семьям, в трудные времена, удавалось заработать на хлеб только благодаря машинке Зингер.
Классная работа а главное не какой шпаклёвки приятно посмотреть как к жизни возвращается старое искусство лайк успехов в делах
Макс красава! В моём далёком детстве, тоже была такая машинка. Отличная была! Очень нравится что вы восстановили былую мощь её в первозданном виде!!! Браво Мастер!!!
Спасибо. Это был отличный опыт👍
А у меня до сих пор похожая есть, еще и с верхним футляром...
У этих вещей, даже запах другой. А качество даже через столько лет. Радует. 👍👍👍
Полностью с вами согласен!👍
Это какая-то магия. С мужем смотрели не отрываясь как причарованные. Мастеру хвала!
Рад что вам понравилось видео!!! Надеюсь что некоторые другие мои видоеролики вам тоже понравятся!!!
@@ITBR_Restoration Будем смотреть обязательно
I spent this half hour with you, feeling at peace and almost in a trance, watching the kinetic poetry you do. Restoration is poetry! I'm so grateful to have found your channel. My grandfather was a carpenter and the garage was full of his machines. This felt like watching him. Thank you so much! Your editing is also sublime.
Великолепная работа! Браво! Вторая жизнь легендарной машины.
Спасибо)))
Какая работа))))) глаз радует!!! Какая красота!!! Умница мастер, золотые руки!!! ❤❤❤🎉
Благодарю за просмотр, и обратную связь!
Еще 100 лет прослужит. Челнок такой малюсенький. Часто придется нитку наматывать.

I have it now and I am 67! In mint condition as well with the original can of oil.
@@anthonyvincent5892 that's awesome!
@@ITBR_Restoration ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@Mr Mechanized fantastic, really good sewing machines
Вот это понимаю - раритет! В свое время люди, в основном цыганских и азиатских кровей, гонялись за зингерами и скупали. Иногда даже за неплохие деньги выкупали, но это редкость среди барыг было. Н а хорошем, исправном зингере можно было кирзу прошивать. Вот качество какое делали.
Супер! Техника XIX века это шедевры инженерной мысли! У мастера золотые руки!
This is just fantastic! So wonderful to see an old sewing machine get back to work. Amazing that such an old machine was really in good condition and is now usable again. Goes to show the quality of yesteryear- compared to today's throwaway products. Thank you for restoring it to it's former glory! Makes me want to go get out my 1868 Singer and do some sewing. I used to make reproduction Civil War uniforms on this machine. Thanks again, I REALLY enjoyed watching. Made my day!
Thank you for watching! I was also surprised that she earned after so many years! The setting for the lower thread was very difficult, the shuttle did not want to pick up the lower thread))
Absolutely fantastic job of restoring a beautiful very old sewing machine. Your workmanship is marvelous. Thanks for a great video. Love your tattoo: know thyself in Latin.
Безупречно! С удовольствием просмотрела, вы мастер большой буквы!
Спасибо!!! Благодарю за поддержку!
I want to say that to find the bobbin shuttle is truly a wonderful, valuable treasure.
Hola Max, increíble video de restauración, no pude dejar de verlo hasta el final, gran paciencia y dedicación. Toda una joya esa máquina singer de 1882, más videos de estos, de antiguedades. Un gran saludo desde México!!!!!!
Мастер как будто знал, и специально для меня выпустил это 🎥 видео. Так - как сегодня Я нашёл на металопоиемке хорошую стариную швейную машинку. И хочу её востановить.
Очень круто!!! Если будут какие нибудь вопросы, по ремонту, пишите, чем смогу помогу.
Thank you for being gentle and respectful of this beautiful machine. Too many times I see restorers tossing the parts around.
What a beautiful restoration. You went the extra mile, and got all the details perfectly!
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
У Вас золотые руки. Эти машинки шьют всё от шёлка до кожи, Я на свою поставила электрический моторчик. Спасибо за интересное видео.
Wow! Well done indeed. Vintage sewing machines are amazing - so well manufactured. Great to see her back in working condition.
When I was a kid my great grandmother taught me to sew and use a sewing machine on a Singer that was almost identical to this. My mother still has it. It’s in great condition and still mounted to the antique sewing cabinet that it always was.
Нам оставили в наследство настоящие произведения технического искусства! Мы же своим потомкам оставим только горы пластикового хлама! Кстати, сверлильный станок зачётный!👍
That machine was once mounted on a treadle frame, as the two holes on the right hand side are for the leather belt to run thru. Also the holes at the Singer nameplate were for mounting a device that wound the bobbin. Great job of restoration.
Thank you for your comment. Before starting work with this sewing machine, I spent a lot of time looking for a device for winding thread on a bobbin, but all searches were in vain.
Amazing job you did fixing up the sewing machine, even though it is 140 years old. It looks much better and works like a charm too. Excellent work.
The thing I really loved about this video is that there was no awful music! It spoils so many videos instead of making them relaxing and enjoyable. Thanks for a great video!
Thank you, I also think that there should be a minimum amount of music in such videos.
140 years later this Singer sewing machine is nearly exactly the same as mine manufactured 100 years later. Except for some electricity and some fancy stitches I recognize all the moving parts. Amazing, but the old saying “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” still rings true. Can’t wait to see how all the decals look after you get them back! Great job!!
È tornata alla vita la Signora SINGER. Grazie
Absolutely stunning!!!😮😍 I'm not sure if Singer used the "coffin" style decals that early but I definitely could be wrong. I have a 1922 Singer on a treadle with those decals. I do know the used them for many years. I'm not sure when they started using those decals. I think they will look amazing on your gorgeous piece of art. A piece of art that I hope is used for another hundred+ years.❤
I still my grandmothers singer and it still works perfectly...great rescue job you did on that beautiful old machine
I just bought my first sewing machine, a Singer from ~1950. It's amazing how well it works and I'm happy I can do minor repairs and upkeep by myself. These machines really were made to last and I'm happy this one has a new life.
I'm always amazed at how you and others that do restorations can take something completely apart and put it back together. If I were to do something like this, I would probably have parts leftover... not a good thing. Great job! I enjoyed watching the video.
I don't do resotration for a living but I've restored a few dozen vintage sewing machines over the years. Recording every item you remove in order and showing the item clearly, as they do for restoration videos really helps. I don't post my videos but I started recording my work after being inspired by some restoration videos here on youtube. You even know exactly how each mechanism was engaged. If you're ever lost you can rewatch yourself take it apart. After some time and experience you need less and less because you'll get better. Also storing the parts in an organized way, like a lettered or numbered set of containers, as you pull it apart helps too. I always say out loud the number of the box the current part is going into. I use a bunch of tupperware with sharpie numbers on them.
Not all restorations/transformations you see are the real deal.
@@jsmxwll I never did restorations, but I did repair laptop computers. I used to use tackle trays, and as each set of screws were removed, those screws would go into an individual compartment in the tray, along with a small piece of paper describing where the screws came from.
@@shawbros Good point. I've used icetrays for the same idea before.
Same here! I would never have been able to put it back together properly! So amazing! What a worthwhile project…❤
Идеальная работа идеальный человек
Спасибо❤
I’m always amazed by how sewing machines actually work, I wish I could have seen the thought process behind the complicated mechanics.
Я в восторге!шью и поэтому рада что вы восстановили такую интересную машинку с необычным челноком ! Впечатляет,хотя-за что ни возьмётесь всё как всегда на высоте
What a find! And what a restoration! Really enjoyed watching. Glad I found your channel.
Fabuloso trabajo, y que paciencia te felicito yo tengo una máquina Singer pero es del siglo pasado y está desconpuesta la recibí como herencia de mi abuelita materna y la guardo con mucho cariño me da gusto que en tu país todavía se encuentren personas rescatando estas preciosas máquinas, saludos desde San Luis Potosí México 🇲🇽 bendiciones para ti y toda tu familia 💕🙏😇
Hola México!!! ¡Gracias por tus deseos! ¡También deseo paz para ti y tu familia!
Hermosa. Demostracion de. Aprecio.
I learned to sew on an antique Singer treadle machine. So cool to see this beautiful piece restored!
En 1973 adquirí la Facilita de Singer y funciona divinamente. Quiero mandarle a hacer mantenimiento y trataré de comunicarme con la Singer.
I've waited a long time to see a video like this. I'm lucky to have a few of this model and have been cleaning them up as best I can with minimal dismantling. I haven't got anything like enough skills to go as far as you but this will get me a lot further along than I've managed so far. That reverse-threaded screw took me a lot longer than 30 minutes to figure out when I came up against the same problem you had. I still haven't found a service manual for these and don't know if they made one so this video is a huge help. Thank you.
Thanks for your feedback. This screw with a reverse thread will be a dream in my nightmares for a long time))))
Здравствуйте, А вы можете продать мне одну машинку
Красивая работа. Очень понравилось.
What amazes me the most is someone actually designed and made all the parts in the first place. Rebuilding after cleaning and fixing is amazing imo, but I can't even contempt the task of creating such a useful bit of machinery to begin with.
absolutely awesome, and restoration of such an incredible machine...Singer has outlasted so many other sewing machines...thank you for your interest in history, and lovingly restoring this gem... you have blessed all of us with this... thank you!!!
Máquina de costura muito bonita parabéns pelo canal ótimo conteúdo
Linda vovó máquina, agora, voltou a vida. Parabéns! Belo trabalho.
Beautiful job! I like how that old Singer works; just turn the handle round and round.
You did a beautiful job. The machine deserves it.
Amazing restoration. Absolutely beautiful!!
Thanks for watching and supporting!
Beautiful restoration! Fantastic job! Bravo!
Thanks for watching and your rating!
1882…it’s wonderful you were able to bring it back to life!!! Thanks for sharing.
My dad way a VP of product service. When I was young and my friends were putting together plastic models, my dad brought home whole machines from the factory. I would assemble them and he would exchange them for the next project. Those sewing machines and vacuums were father/son projects. I can visualize every part to this day from over 50 years ago. God I miss him.
Прекрасная работа, Вторая жизнь машинке. Но тарелки натяжителей нити надо было ещё шлифовать 😊
The sewing machine looks amazing. Well done. My granny had an old singer sewing machine but it was on a special table and had a big ornate pedal you pushed up and down to work the machine. I loved the sound of it when my granny was using it. The electric ones are way faster but I still prefer the old manual ones ❤
You're right, the sound of old hand sewing machines is amazing. Electric sewing machines are certainly much more productive, but they have lost the magic that the old Singers have.
Дело мастера боится... Народ зря не скажет... СУПЕР ЗОЛОТЫЕ РУКИ..
Good job! Well I lucked out yesterday and found an 1871 fiddlebase. It is dirty, but the decals are pretty good. The handle was broken off the wheel where it fits to the base, but that was done a long time ago. The handle will still stay in its place because of the pins on the broken end. You are fortunate that you know how to make the parts that are broken,. You are very talented!
Seu trabalho é divino 😍🙌🇧🇷😁 parabéns
Fantastic work.
🤗🤗🤗Thanks
Used to love my grandmother sowing on her’s. The sound it would make.
we still have singer sewing machine.... the best brand ever.
Yes you are right!
Trabalho magnífico, parabéns!
Имам 100-годишна ръчна машина "Сингер", която ми служи безотказно!
Мисля, че при редовна употреба и постоянно смазване на механизмите, тези шевни машини ще работят за неопределено време. Моето копие беше малко нещастно, беше забравено във влажен гараж дълги години.
Ммашината е с метални, а не с пластмасови части.
beautiful work! I love sewing and old sewing machines!
My mum had one with a table and treddle, i used to get my foot squished under it, beautiful machine, you did an awesome restoration thankyou love your channel ❤❤❤

That Literally is a working piece of Art. It's amazing how that sewing machine works using simple principles and still works as it did when new. Even without the stickers,It's Absolutely beautiful!
This is so cool. I always enjoy watching Singer machines being restored. Isaac Singer was my Grandmother's great grand dad. So way up the family tree I was kin to the man who started all the Singer empire. Only bad thing about it, he forgot to leave me an inheritance.... lol...
What??? Isaac Singer is your relative???? This is very cool!!! Even if he did not leave a legacy, the very fact that your family had such significant personalities is worth a lot.
@@ITBR_Restoration I don't know how significant it is but I used it for bragging rights when I get the chance. I've read that he was a very talented and creative man. I think those traits were passed down through to my grandmother and my Mom. They are both the most talented women. I have never found anything my Mom can't do. Awesome artist with any kind of medium you can think of. Musician and can play anything she touches. She has so many incredible things she has made over the years and everyone says her house looks like a museum. And here I am bragging again....
@@dannywilsher4165 He was a very talented man. The class 15 sewing machine system was directly his design from way back in 1866 just after he quit from the company. The oscillating shuttle was Singer's patent and found on the Singer Improved Family machines from 1879-1883 on the bobbin plate. That Machine ended up being what most machines are designed on, the class 15 and the needle for that machine is the standard needle used on domestic sewing machine to this day. I research Singer sewing machie from 1851-1900 plus and am published in ISMACS.
@@alibabafurball That's cool you researching Singer history. I have also and he was a pretty sharp man. I think the thing I liked most about him was the way he started the idea of letting women buy a machine on credit. I read he made lots of money by financing his machines.
this is awsome!!! i love it!!!!! wonderful job sweetie!!
Thanks for support. I think that you will also like some other videos from my channel))
Absolutely amazing and a delight to watch it emerge from all that time and grime. Well done!
Beautiful work, I enjoyed watching it come together
какая же красота в этих старинных изделиях, можно сказать природная, если не знать что сделано человеком!
Очень круто! Самое поразительное, что не похоже что механизм сильно изношен. Для машинки, которой почти 150лет, впечатляет.
Я тоже этому удивился! Никаких люфтов, никакой расхлябанности, вот же делали действительно на века!
@@ITBR_Restoration У меня дома прабабушкин русский зингер есть, тоже работает как часы. Поновей конечно вашего, но все равно.
