#macgyvered

This is a union special 51200C. It’s original intended purpose was for seaming mattresses but somewhere along the way someone decided it would be better for binding apparel. I got it a while back in hopes to switch it back to heavy duty single needle chain stitching. However, since I made a few masks, the binding set up came in handy. I also attached a picture of the foot that came with the machine, but it was too wide to use with the binding attachment that I wanted to use. So naturally I #MacGyvered a foot so that it met my needs. The binding attachment can be found on eBay for 9-40$ (sometimes with free shipping). I never did a lot of binding before this past week. But I’m actually really enjoying the process so I think I might keep the set up for a while instead of trying out one of the other 50 machines that are waiting to be set up!! Also, I’ve named the machine John Travolta for the time being. If anyone has a better name for it I’d love to hear them! . . . #sewingmachine #binding #industrialsewingmachine #unionspecial #viapiana (at Viapiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_lGXHMHgP5/?igshid=12dzd301qbso

Just call me MacGyver. I’m now the proud owner of a jurry rigged sit- stand drawing table...well I guess it’s more of a stand-stand drawing table because it’s kind of a pain in the ass moving those stilts lol. Also, I haven’t actually tried drawing or inking at it so I’ll have to get back to you about that ;P #macgyver #macgyvered #drawingtable #artist #artistsoninstagram #artists #artistsofinstagram #artstudio_post #artstudiolife #arttable https://www.instagram.com/p/BvaEJVfBy7-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=137yvnz6u4yv2

I had to get creative to make my Kindle charge. It's working though! Thanks to the foil wrapper from some Easter candy. 👍👍👍 #charginglikeaboss #creativeDIY #macgyvered https://www.instagram.com/p/BucycDGFyRs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1t50jrxno13q0

When your not allowed to take pictures on set. Looks like someone tried to shotgun a @drpepper or #macgyvered a smoking apparatus #austin #texasfilm #austinfilm #filmset #drpepper (at Austin, Texas)

The lock button on my key fob stopped working recently, a little aluminum foil and hot glue later it works again! #thereifixedit #macgyvered #subaru #rubythesubi (at Vacaville, California)

Changed the setup, so the projected image is a little bigger. #eclipse2017 #macgyvered (at Dr. Edmund A. Babler Memorial State Park)
