The day finally came for an honest effort to get my 1909 Vintage 29-4 Singer Patch machine, or shoe/ boot repair sewing machine to work, this thing has set here for some 4-5 years now and wouldn’t sew 5 stitches without missing one. I purchased this form a Cobbler (shoe repair, Harley Paraphernalia semester, and…

Here is a scan of the original manual showing the correct shape 📷   Here are the two drawings I made and used to make mine 📷   📷   Here is what I found on the internet and started from.... 📷   📷   Here is the 29-4 I had with the roughed out table 📷

Singer 29-series machines were introduced in the late 19th Century and remain in production today. They're designed for working on both leather and cloth, and particularly suited to working on boots and shoes. The long, skinny, cylindrical bed allows a boot to be slipped over the bed, and the feed direction can be rotated in any direction. The serial number dates this machine to 1895. It's apparently an early step in the 29-series machines' evolution away from the earlier un-numbered Singer Universal Feed Arm, or UFA, models. The casting for the arm of the machine is still based on the UFA -- the back of the upper arm is open, and there's no opening in the front of the casting to allow the optional side wheel. The foot lift lever operates parallel to the arm of the machine, rather than perpendicular like the 29-4 and later models. The balance wheel on the back of the machine appears identical to those used on the 29-4, rather than the flat-rimmed wheels seen on earlier models. (A round outer rim is easier to work by hand, but a flat rim could be used with an overhead flat leather belt drive system once common in factories.) There's no sign this machine ever had a model number plate riveted on near the Singer logo, something seen even on every 29-1 I've been able to find pictures of. The "needle bar driving lever," the exposed rocker arm on top of the machine, is the newer truss-style seen on the 29-4, rather than the solid arm used on the UFA. Most small parts appear to be interchangeable with later 29-series machines.
