<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gillespie, post: 207407, member: 3676&quot;]Hello there folks! I have had this old sewing machine base kicking around here since 2008. </p><p>I picked it up on the side of the road, it was being thrown out. </p><p><br /></p><p>I decided to finally do something with it and have built a new top for it. But still need to build a droor or three under the desk&#039;s top. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; It should make an ideal computer desk, or a sewing machine table! Go figure haha<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I am not sure however what year the cast metal sewing machine base is from. Any ideas? </p><p>&nbsp; I searched a bit, but haven&#039;t found anything yet.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Here are a couple pics bringing you up to date to where the project is now. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; -</p><p>&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]60156[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]60157[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]60158[/ATTACH]The exposed unstained plywood is the top. You can see the Craig jig screws fastening the maple noseing on. </p><p>But once the tile is siliconed into place it will all be hidden. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]60159[/ATTACH]The bottom side turned out decent as well.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; The stain I had was black. But I cut it with gasoline to create a grey stain. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]60160[/ATTACH]This tile was 2 feet by 4 feet! It got cut down to 2feet by 3feet.[ATTACH=full]60161[/ATTACH]the tile isn&#039;t siliconed down yet. </p><p>I need to get some more maple, and decide what I&#039;m doing for droors.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s been a fun little project so far tho![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
