IHUK - A day in the life of….

[Matt]

I fell off a skateboard so hard like 20 years ago. I was skating on the smooth concrete floor of my basement and went flat on my back. As I lay dying, my prevalent thought was “Man my wife’s going to be so mad at me.”

[SamD]

@Matt I haven't been on a skateboard for 20 years (although I've surfed a lot in those years, if that counts for anything?) - cautiously relearning as my kids are getting into it. That's my excuse anyway, but the same thought has definitely gone through my head

[Matt]

I bought the girls skateboards and they showed no interest. That was going to be my rationale for convincing Katie to let me skate. Oh well.

I recently started longboarding…I look like a funny old guy with football pads mowing a lawn

[SamD]

@goosehd Mine's a surfskate - slower and less twitchy than a conventional skateboard, same size wheels as a longboard. Proper middle-aged man board!

[Lynne]

@SamD I thought I saw you whizz by earlier! See the little white car…steer clear

[goosehd]

I went with the Arbor Axis 40 which I have found pretty stable and forgiving.

Orders for the 888's have been flying since last night.

Lynne got through a chunk this AM and team McCoe has taken the second shift to continue the party.

It's a great pair of jeans.

@Graham it appears @JoshC is not happy with your playlist

[Alex]

@Tago-Mago noone ever is

[JoshC]

@Tago-Mago haha I have my own white noise that gets me in the zone

[Lynne]

@Giles we see your two lawnmowers on Big Suze, and raise you two sewing machines

Today these lovelies went on a little journey, to be temporarily relocated in readiness for something new, coming soon…

Please also take a moment to admire unit 2’s glorious reloved windows. These have been worked on for the past few months and are in the final stages of completion

[Giles]

See you......

[AdamC]

@Lynne and @JoshC doing their thing

[Lynne]

New hemming favourite

[Graham]

Those SST's are absolute dreams to hem

Is that a bartack machine?? If not, what is it?

[Lynne]

@sophisto000 it is indeed a bar tack machine, but that’s not all! It converts from bar tacker to a pre-programmed and a bespoke programmable stitcher. It’s rather fabulous and I’ll be showing more of what it can do over the coming weeks.

The other machine is a 5-thread overlocker, which we’ve set up to match Iron Heart’s machines in Japan as closely as possible. More to come on that too, but in the meantime here are some bar tacks for you

@Lynne What a cool photo! Love those...
