The sock machine stand for the Simplex costs $300 and it is way beyond my budget. Some sock crankers use stools or workbench, but I find neither options suitable for my taste. They are either too low and unstable for the stool or too ugly for the work bench. After exhaustive search at hardware and…
Sock Machine Restoration

1924 Gearhart is restored and knitting socks again.
A Machine for knitting socks! Originally these machines were made from metal back in the early 1900's and were common place in homes. To get hold of the original metal machines now is tricky as most have been destroyed or damaged over the past century, the ones that are left are costly! - So roll out the printer, get with the times and let's make some socks! Below is a list of things you will require to complete the machine. You will need 3mm bolts of varying lengths, something like this: Aussel Pan Head Screw Bolts Nuts Stainless Steel M3 Screw Nuts Assortment with Lock Flat Washers 300PCS (Pan Head Screws-300PCS) : Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools You will need a 12mm diameter mild steel bar (Aluminium may well be fine and easier to work with) of at least 200mm long, something like this: Round Rod Bar Aluminium, Brass, Mild & Stainless Steel 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 & 12mm | eBay You will need 2 x 24mm bearings with 12mm hole, like these: sourcing map 6901ZZ Deep Groove Ball Bearing 12x24x6mm Double Shielded Chrome Steel Bearings 5Pcs : Amazon.co.uk: Business, Industry & Science The needles used in the machine are (Although any needle of the same length and thickness will work): Agatige 50PCS Steel Knitting Machine Needle, Knitting Machine Needle with Steel Fabric Sewing Tools Set for SK218 SK280 SK580 SK840 SK325 SK360 : Amazon.co.uk: Home & Kitchen The counter is one like this: Broco Electronic Counter 5-Digit 0-99999 Digital Clicker LCD Digital Electronic Counter Tester Punch Magnetic Induction Proximity Switch Shockproof Digit Counter : Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools You will need some M5 x 25mm long bolts and nuts for the frame (Nuts are optional as i haven't used them on my own machine and it is fine) You will need a 200-300mm length, 0.5mm or 0.8mm spring steel to make the yarn tensioner for doing heals and toes. You will need a 500mm piece of 15mm diameter aluminium tube for the Yarn stand - a wooden dowel of 15mm would do the same job. There will be a ribber made available pretty soon. I am just working out a few bugs :) Happy knitting, any issues, get in touch! Don't get too hung up on the 'exact' parts, the whole idea of this machine was the bring the extortionate costs down so if you have something similar that you think will fit the purpose, give it a go :)
