The Doll Forum

I've been looking into Sil-Poxy alternatives as well, and I've had members here recommend Pematex 81730 Flowable Windshield Sealer . I've not tried it yet, but is certainly a more budget friendly alternative to experiment with, and possibly easier to source. ( Sil-Poxy might as well be weapons grad...

Unless you have access to a machine shop, and are a machinist yourself, I wouldn't recommend doing that. If you farmed out the work, it's going to be expensive. I'd estimate at least 4 hours work. At, say, 150 USD/hour, can you afford it? Well, I have the tools and build a gaming seat with a steeri...

There is evidence from the TPE experience that a small pair of Fiskars scissors will cut through doll material quite neatly The foam underneath the silicone is quite dense, so a box cutter would be needed. Using a good silicone adhesive should give an invisible line repair If the incisions are shor...

Hi thanks for the info. You're welcome. And well, I as far as I understood you didn't take the measurements of the part, and just build a copy. If I understood correctly 3/4" was too narrow, so it should be around 20mm ID. But there are no steel connectors with this ID. And PVC are usually sho...

Ah, so if the metal tubing was 20mm, then 3/4" has to be bored out approximately 1mm The hole saw is as suggested "close enough for government work" :) The UK has access to imperial and metric sizes as do a number of other countries but North America is predominantly American Standar...

katiesBoyfriend Good tutorial :) Thank you. Not sure what the actual metric size would be, 3/4" is 19mm, so 20mm will be too big, maybe there is an 18mm size somewhere :whistle: I can't say off-hand what the ID of 3/4" PVC pipe is, but I had to bore it out with a hole saw. As I mentioned ...

Hi does anyone have the dimensions of the T shaped PVC connector, or can give me some insights on it? Having replaced that piece on my 4Woods I can answer your questions. First, take a look at: https://dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=163&t=115078 As you'll notice, I had to build myself a re...

Considering most of the women I've either dated or admired (usually from afar), a doll is a far better deal.

I see you just got a machine, but in case others are considering getting one: I have a Brother heavy duty for working on canvas and thin-leather. I've done little work on thin/stretchy fabrics, but be sure the machine you get can handle the fabric you intend to use. Sewing can be a bigger rabbit ho...

Visited local electronics store and they had very basic Singer on offer. So I got myself Singer Simple 3223 sewing machine. SingerSimple3223.jpg This machine cost me only 75 euros. It has very plasticky feel, I was able to get it working very easily. Reviewers of this machine comment that thick lay...

Great answers! Keep them coming. Tailor recommended Bernina, this make seems to be clearly for professionals. The simplest Bernina that I could find (Bernina 325) costs 1000euro when bought new. Usually stores have either Singer or Brother machines here. Anyone has any comments about Brother? Many ...

I have several sewing machines :new-alien: including a bernina 215 a juki DDL 900B industrial machine a serger and a coverlock that does not seem to work so well. What price range? If you only intend to do a little sewing it may be unnecessary to buy a new modern machine with 1000 different stitche...

The real doll feet are solid, they are molded around the foot plate.

Yes, the feet are solid, but there are rumours that some RDs might have hollow legs.....

It only confirmed with numbers what I experienced ever since high school more than 50 years ago. Any younger women interested in me usually wanted one thing: a baby and a way to finance it. Older ones saw me as a way of topping up their retirement funds. Those I was interested in usually gave me the...
