air/steam engine powered Pfaff 30
Sometimes I get kinda silly. I had this steam engine and an air compressor and a Pfaff 30.
Yes, it stitched, but I was running it on an air bubble and ran out of pressure fast. More experimentation will be needed. No, not practical at all. But old sewing factories often ran banks of sewing machines off of steam engines.

Why not? If we don't ask these questions and give something new a try... then we stagnate. So bravo to you! It looks crazy ridiculous and I love it. Just one question; do you 'have to' wear old aviators glasses to operate it? =)

No, but I have to listen to Abney Park's "Steampunk Revolution."
I knew you get it and a few others. Others will sit back and wonder. And that's fine.
It likes about 90 PSI.. It starts really quickly.
