A few weeks ago, I found this old Pfaff 145 industrial sewing machine in a garage sell. It was in pretty bad shape as the table was broken in several places, the feet covered in rust, the hook mechanism was off, and so many other things. But I got a pretty good deal on it, so I bought it, brought it home and decided to restore it.
I bought it for my leatherwork and upcoming projects. It's a real beast with can sew leather up to 20oz/8mm (two layers of 10oz/4mm) at least, so I've been told. I didn't try it yet, but I will.
It started by taking it apart, cleaning everything, removing the rust and giving the feet and the table mechanism a new paint job. The machine itself wasn't in bad condition but needed oil desperately and fine tuning so it can work again properly. I mainly worked on the table and all the accessories to make them rust-free and look nice once again. I use hammer effect metal paint. The motor is a Singer 240V, 2850 rpm, 1/2HP. For extra safety, I checked all the wiring and added an extra breaker (to protect the machine from overload and the kid from trying to use it).
I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I really like it now and I'm sure it will serve me well in the coming years for so many projects I have in mind. I'm pretty sure you will see "the beast" in my future videos as well.
I hope you'll like the video. If so, please give it a like, a comment and share it with friends.

About the Site π
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. π₯
Origins of the Idea π±
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. π§
Challenges Faced π€
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. π
Creating Truly Random Links π οΈ
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube πΊ
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. π
Content and Users π΅
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact π€
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. π
