SOFA TABLE FROM A SEWING TABLE parts used to build

I built this sofa table starting with a sewing machine cabinet I purchased at a thrift store.
The finish was in fair shape but many of the moving wood parts didnt work properly anymore,
and the machine wouldnt lift out of the cabinet to use.

 
The legs are what really caught my attention from across the store.
 
 
Once I started to work on removing the machine I found a makers mark on the cabinet.
 
 
Made In Yugoslavia ... The machine is a Piedmont from the Hudsons Bay Company.
 
 
Anyone need parts for their Piedmont?
 
 
I was able to take the whole cabinet apart to start rebuilding a longer table.
I used a kick board for the front, and aged, stained, and waxed some new wood for the top.
 
 
Heres a close up of the finish I created for the top.
 

 
This sofa / console table went to its new home shortly after I finished it.

Sewing Center

Posted by linua at 10:30 AM Labels: , 0 comments
Here is a sewing center I made for my wife for her craft room. It is constructed from solid cherry and cherry plywood. When closed, the cabinet measures 48" wide by 18" deep x 28" high. To open, the longer section of the top flips back to the left and is supported by the left door,  the shorter section flips forward and is supported by the door for the surger . The machine lift is supplied by Rockler.
