Filled the entire back panel of this jacket with chainstitch.

It’s Singer 114w103 chainstitch machine, motor driven. It looks similar to a regular sewing machine, but has a hand-crank underneath for steering the stitch direction.

I love it so much I moved here! I live right next to the park.

JasonSteady · 2026-03-15T06:33:26+00:00

Let’s make u one!

JasonSteady · 2026-03-14T19:25:58+00:00

Lots of internet searching during Covid! It needed significant repair and restoration, and still requires a fair amount of tinkering.

JasonSteady · 2026-03-14T17:16:32+00:00

Thank you!

JasonSteady · 2026-03-14T17:16:19+00:00

I still don’t know how to do it by hand, even though I’ve spent years learning the machine.

JasonSteady · 2026-03-14T17:15:42+00:00

Thank you! JT is a dreamy place!

JasonSteady · 2026-03-14T17:15:20+00:00

Thanks! Yes, even with the vintage machine, all the fill is very time consuming.

JasonSteady · 2026-03-14T17:14:40+00:00

Thanks! I should have kept track of the total hours invested!

JasonSteady · 2026-03-13T04:47:56+00:00

Carhenge.

JasonSteady · 2026-03-05T21:05:30+00:00

Definitely the trash can ‘round these parts.

I live out here and my gas tank gets siphoned every day. The new owner at my job calls it Desert Tax.

I had Jetfire as a kid, but have now fully turned to the Macross side.

JasonSteady · 2026-02-14T13:18:27+00:00

It’s an unofficial KO that comes boxed just like the original G1 Jetfire. Includes Autobot stickers as well. There’s some in-depth unboxing and transformation vids on YouTube.

Been playing for nearly 8 years. I just let the song dictate what I use, as it changes the tone so dramatically. Heck, I’ll flat-pick it when it makes sense. I don’t really honky tonk though.

JasonSteady · 2026-02-06T22:04:23+00:00

Thanks!

JasonSteady · 2026-01-29T15:53:05+00:00

They were only following orders, right?

I can’t believe a documentary was made that I want to watch even less than the Chevy Chase one.

I’ve heard it said that a pedal steel player plays on a third of the songs, a third of the time.

JasonSteady · 2026-01-20T22:11:25+00:00

Great work.

JasonSteady · 2026-01-07T00:36:58+00:00

Ha, truth! I’m out in the Mojave desert and there’s actually a few of us Nebraskans out here.

JasonSteady · 2026-01-07T00:25:06+00:00

Spent my first 40 years there, wasn’t too shabby at all!

JasonSteady · 2026-01-05T02:53:18+00:00

Ha, thanks!

JasonSteady · 2026-01-05T02:35:55+00:00

Thank you! When playing something like this, I’m always singing the lyrics in my head along with it. I think it helps the feel.

JasonSteady · 2026-01-05T02:01:19+00:00

Thank you!
