I'd love to work on those machines :) the kind of equipment you need a real mechanic/machinist to maintain using a real mechanics knife, like a TL-29 or maybe just a plain old Jack Knife.

I'd like to see a 2 year Tech School graduate figure out how to set up the timing let alone take it apart to repair it. If it doesn't have a Blue Tooth dongle they can't hook it up to a diagnostic computer than they can't figure out what's wrong.

Mornin' Ladies and Gents, hope ya'll have a great Sunday.
 
Agreed, Ted.

Great pictures, Jack. It that the Industrial Museum? Were the machines (looms?) running, or just sitting on display?

Have a nice Sunday everyone.
 
Yep, with you there Ted :thumbup:

Thanks r8shell, nice pairing :thumbup: Yeah, it's the industrial museum in Bradford, the next town over from mine. It's a really big place. I'm not sure if they run the looms, it looked like they did some of them, but there was some filming going on in the weaving shed yesterday, so it wasn't a typical day, and we didn't stay for long. They certainly run the looms in the industrial museum in Leeds, where I live. In Bradford, on the floor underneath the weaving shed, there are dozens of different engines, and they run those :thumbup:
 
Wonderful knife Jack and Great pics of the loom. Thanks for posting.
Happy Spring folks.

Best regards

Robin

Lots of great looking knives posted here. This is the bladeforums knife I have found the most useful. Excellent grinds on these blades.

It is stunning looking knife but the two blades never worked for me as the other blade always bite to my hand.

Jack - Thanks so much my friend! :) That Tacklers Knife appears to be in near mint condition. I assume that is the cousin to the Loom Fixer here in the states. A knife that has a rich history in the textile industry. You know I have a fondness for straight edge knives, I also love old machinery! :thumbup::D

Yes, it still has the original polish, a kind gift from Stephen 'Old & In The Way'. The pattern is still made in Sheffield :) :thumbup:

Aivan! But that's very often the problem with most Jack knives that have 2 large blades, it's why I steer clear of them usually....;)
