All together now! (mostly)

    My sewing table is all together and in place. I don't have a photo with the treadle and desk back in place yet, but here is the table my husband made. It has a maple veneer plywood top (cabinet grade so it is smooth as silk), solid legs of oak and aspen. It is bolted together. The cord winder underneath is from Ikea, all of  $10. It works great so there is not a snare of wires under the table since I have multiple machines and lights hooked up. The power strip is screwed to the crossbeam. It is 7' long and 38" wide. It is lower than a regular table because of the sewing machine heights. The light fixture gives great light at night, very even and diffuse. What a difference so I can sew in the evening. I bought a couple of Ikea LED small gooseneck lights, which are not in the photo here, but will be in the future.
  First, the room emptied out.

Bits and pieces, bits and pieces

      In the quest to make things, there is lot of bits and pieces around before it is finished. My husband is building me a sewing table, 7' x 38" from maple faced plywood and solid wood legs which are an assortment of aspen, oak and maple. The legs, except for some more poly, are done. The top is underneath waiting for finish, although the cutting and assembly are done.

    Also in pieces is the 15-91 I bought at Habitat Restore. It is a beautiful machine. I have cleaned it and polished most of it. I bought a set of Chapman bits so I could get the worm gear out so I could clean the armature. They work.
