Just received this, a signed copy from bushgear.co.uk. Very impressed, it seems to be quite a bit more comprehensive than a lot I have, plus it’s geared towards Northern Europe rather than the American continent which is a plus. A very worthy addition! Also just sent off for Woodcraft Wisdom and...

If it did fly off in a gale, you may well also have the issue of paying for any damage it does to your neighbour’s property, depending on your insurance (who’ll do anything to wriggle out of paying out).

Excellent, never even considered Titan might still be in business! It’s a long spool in a metal shuttle type thing, not the round bobbin, I’d love to use it just for the joy of using such a piece of art and engineering. When I bought this, my mother was still alive , sadly, she passed last year...

I think I might have got that far but just had no idea how that relates to size and just ended up with a migraine!:(

Hi, some time ago I bought a newly serviced Winselmann Titan sewing machine, a real beauty! Not knowing anything about them, didn’t consider about availability of replacement needles, if I had, I’d have gone for a Singer. Sadly, I broke the only needle and have been unable to source any...
