I bought a Pig Ear Notcher to put darts in welting so it would turn corners, paid about $7 at my local Fleet Farm Store.

remind me to tell the story about giving away free chip dip to sell tooth brushes.

Rene:
     I agree ten times over with what you've said, if they are for real about the volume they will do then it shouldn't bother them to wait until they have proven it to you.

Years ago they made a folding stiffener to put between your box spring and mattress to get rid of the sag., didn't work then.

         Just like in our government nothing is free, everything should stand on its own. If you want a sofa done it's one price, if you want a sofa and 6 pillows it's a corresponding higher price.

     A friend that was an estimator at a local lumber yard once was giving a customer a price on materials for a house The customer when asking for the quote stated that he was planning to build 10 houses, so keep that in mind while pricing it out. When given the price the customer was upset that he didn't feel he had been given a 10-house discount, my friend told him that if he bought 9 houses the 10th was free. He left and bought materials from another supplier, never paid for them and never finished the 1st house before the bank took it back! Just what would he have benefited by giving the customer a big discount based on what he claimed, dreamed, or boasted he was going to do?

there are a lot of feet on the market that wouldn't even qualify as good land fill! I've had some real bad experiences with "import knock offs" for my 1245 Pfaff that don't fit on or the two pieces don't fit on and work together as they interfere with each other. Both Gregg and Bob Kovar sell product that they have experience with and stand behind, that's not to say any body can't get a bad product but for the most part good products come from good honest merchants!

     Your joke has been forwarded to all my friends!

Yes Rich car detailers use ozone as well, often they fashion an adapter to the outlet of the machine and attach a hose to direct the ozone into the car. The reason for keeping the machine outside the car is it needs an ample air supply to function best.

I often find they need a lot of woodwork, and the T nuts twist loose when you try to take out the bolts. most of the hinges are OK to be reused, good luck. Your seats don't look as bad as some I've done.

Rich:
Mine is 1000 mg/hr or so they claim, no one can prove the claims they make, as there is no standard for measuring. A 3500 mh/hr unit in pure oxygen is the same as a 700 mg/hr unit in normal room air. But it sounds like you got a good-sized unit that will work well for you. Mine has 4 plates how many do you have?

Rich:

    I got mine today, and it works great. I plugged it in and turned it on and in less than a minute I had that chlorine bleach smell filling the room. My manual says ozone is part science and part trial and error, meaning start slow and use more and more time until it gives you the results you want. Warning nothing living in the area being treated (exception tropical fish) and you will find leather and natural rubber get dried out with long or repeated use. The jury is out so to speak as to harm if any it does to electronics, to be safe remove them or cover them up.

     One last thing I thought I'd comment that ABC Discount Vacuum although a little lax on sending out the tracking number for the shipment, did everything they promised and very speedy at that!

Ebay has one available for $20.00 at this link:

Gregg from Keystone might be able to help you, try him first but you can always Google it & you most likely will find one.

I second Chris's recommendation of Bob Kovar at Toledo Sewing Machine Company. You can find his ad in the classifieds that can be accessed using the tab above.

You might want to look into an ozone generator (see my post above) to rid your shop of any mold & mildew spores as well as many other pollutants. Read up on it, just might help! The type of machine I bought requires you to vacate while it's in use.
