I don't know about the rest of the world but the bog roll 'shortage' is over in the US. I see it in all the stores now.

The posts on the 17mm GOOD ART HLYWD snaps are too long for our shirts.  We have to grind them down, my job today.

Pics of what these went on later…..

Bitch at me for having a ciggie to calm my nerves if you like, but I was dealing with USD1,575 of silver here…..

Have fun  @Giles

@Kasi

Whoops, look just what happened:

[Kasi]

Looking good…  @Giles
thanks

Whoah, that snap is stunning @Kasi ! Are my eyes deceiving me, or is that some sexual knurling effect going on under the rosette? Holy smoke! @Giles I no longer smoke, but think I'd reach for one with the pressure of that job. I hope your bench grinder is bolted and secure btw. Good luck..

[Giles]

Sexual Knurling - 

It is a goosebumps rosette 17mm snap…..So effectively a knurled pattern under the rosette.  I'm talking to Josh about doing us a run.....

Not bolted 

It needs to be mobile, so we can take it outside, so we don't cover the clothing with metal dust.....

Thanks for the additional pics @Giles fingers crossed!

Out of interest, what have you had it fitted onto @Kasi ?

A 17mm GAH snap is mighty and sexual, knurled or not.

[Kasi]

It on 25oz vest…

Thanks

The sophisticated walking-foot sewing machine that we use for flat seam hemming us playing up.  We can't currently get an engineer in to take a look at it.

So, it's back to basics…..

Unlucky  :o

My mother had one of those. It over 40 years old. Still have it

[Giles]

My mother gave that one to me on my 21st birthday…..

Looks like it's in good shape. I love those old Singer machines. If you didn't know this already, you can determine the approximate age by looking up the serial number in this database.  It wouldn't surprise me if that one is pushing a hundred years old.
