Universal Baby Food Jar Storage & Organizer

The Universal Baby Food Jar Storage & Organizer is a baby food jar organizer that allows for sorting baby food jars efficiently and safely. One Universal Baby Food Jar Storage & Organizer unit can store up to 16 jars of baby food. Universal Baby Food Jar Storage & Organizer is also stackable to maximize vertical space in a standard kitchen cabinet. Additionally, Universal Baby Food Jar Storage & Organizer can be adjusted to accommodate all three stages of standard baby food jars. Because each Universal Baby Food Jar Storage & Organizer has four separated rows and is built with a slight incline using gravity to automatically move the jars forward, food can be sorted by type and variety making feeding time searches easier and faster.

"OFFER:Sewing Machine or Paperweight, You Be The Judge

White Brand Sewing Machine, Model 222, Serial number 88117492, a gift from Mom in the 80s: broken, possibly fixable.

Used periodically in the 90s and seldom in the 00s, I started to use it a bit
recently. I was adjusting the (manual) tension knob when the entire knob
assembly came off.

Mechanical skills are not my long suit, and -- try as I might -- I couldn't
figure out how to correctly replace the elements (all of which came off quite
slowly in my hand – none are missing).

I found a blog post that said that the machine itself was worthless, except as a paperweight. In terms of how much paper it will hold down, weight is probably 10-12 pounds (I used to carry it around town with me on the train in a canvas bag).

If you're game to see if it's fixable, I'd love for you to have it, along with
its manual. White was apparently somehow related to Husquavarna – they gave me no joy when I requested a copy of the schematic drawing of the tension knob, snippily telling me that it was too old.

I bought a new machine. It was not a
Husquavarna. Snap.

I've got probably all of the stuff that came with it. Different presser feet,
darning plate so that you can free motion stitch, bobbin cases, etc. And the
pieces of the tension knob are in a baby food jar.

I can put it all in a paper shopping bag, or you can take it in another
(bulkier) sewing machine box.

It was a good little machine, if it can be fixed, it would be good for a
beginner. I don't guarantee it can be fixed...."

You don't have to pick it up until Sunday, but its going downstairs to the doorman today. It's not coming back into my apartment!

How long kept: About 6 weeks
Why kept: I popped it into the box for my new machine back before the holidays, intending to Freecyle it. (A little bit of many: Broken, Maybe I can Fix it, and Out of Sight Out of Mind/Storage Boxes are Evil. But I also had bigger fish to fry.)

A former neighbor of ours, Clare Schieber, taught me some basics of wood working and general household repairs during the 9 years we were neighbors. He once told me that he bought his little Milwood Bungalo in 1964 because "It was the one that was most plumb and square, corner to corner". So is the practicle nature and advice of this good friend who is never out of arms reach of a tape measure and t square.

My friend Greg Cavey and I visited him this afternoon and Clare gave us the full tour of his workshop. He custom built 5 or 6 of these hardware storage cabinets to fit the peanut butter, jam and baby food jars that he'd collected over the years.
