I found on of these sewing machines at a yard sale. Such a rare find. 40 dollars. It still works. Has everything original that goes with it in the drawers. Scissors, needles , the manual which is in decent shape, couple pages torn. Also the original co trainers the needles came in. Also the tools and parts that go with it I could not belie e my luck. Love your table. I have a kitchen table made out of one the top is made out of 100 year old barn wood. I love it. Now that cost me 150.00, but to me it's worth it How you have a great day, tfs....
Wow Betty thats an amazing find! I love working on tables like these but there is no way i would dream of breaking that set up only to use the legs. And yes your right, price does not matter so much as long as it makes you happy each time that you see it. :)
Unbelievable-impreseda by your work. For years I was looking for treadle sewing machine. I had learned machine embroidery on it and needed to work on it. But never found one. Alas! How much do you now sell for? THANK YOU SO BERY MUCH, VERY PROUD of PEOPLE LIKE you . Talented, and talent used for greater good.
Hello Mala. Im very happy that you enjoyed watching the project come togeather. I still have this table in my home today as i rarely make items for sale and more as a hobby and a way to keep myself busy. I hope that one day you will be able to find a treadle sewing machine for yourself :)
I was gonna take offense at you destroying an old Singer like that... But I had to revise my position, as you are a true artist... And managed to pull off something really nice !!! The finish with the cat and the old Royal typewriter did it for me! You captured the soul of it !!! Bravo!
Thanks droidcrasher. Im glad that by the end of the project you had become a fan of the table. The hole point of adding the glass was so that the owner was still able to look down into the table to view the inner workings of the singer as it was and always will be the star of the show. :)
Hello, good job and good work for the idea. I also own Singer Singer, a sewing machine, but much better kept, since WWII, I would like to sell it without bargaining, it's still antique and goes into the Collections column. Thank you. respect from old BG
Tenho uma daquelas molduras da Singer para esse mesmo projeto mas para comer na cozinha, dos vídeos que vi esse foi o melhor acabamento e detalhe e com o gato na mesa que parecia uma figura me surpreendi quando mudou... .Bom trabalho
LOVE IT! I used to have a working Singer treadle sewing machine. They are awesome. You did a fantastic job on this table! You are quite talented. And now I want a treadle sewing machine table/desk.
I really love the look of the wood and glass. Such a nice change from what others have been doing with the old Singers, making the top of with just wood slats. Beautiful ♡ design.
Thanks BellaNicole. I wanted to not loose the Singer under a heavy top so i thought the best option would be to add the glass so the owner was able to look down through the glass to the base below. :)
Thank you Clair B. I was lucky that the cat wanted to be part of the video. As soon as the side table was in place she just hopped up and sat there like a princess on her new throne.
Hola, que lindo trabajo. Tambien tengo un pie de maquina Singer, pero quiero poner encima solo un vidrio. Como lo podria hacer???No se como fijarlo al metal??? Tienes alguna idea porfa??. Gracias
Awesome piece my friend. Non judgmental notes below :-) - on the distressing of the paint job, a sandblaster would have been great for this, but its not a common tool. also rubbing the edges down with a wax candle stick kept the paint adhering only where it was applied and made the paint remove only from the edges, its a good distressing technique. (i like the chain, use it myself sometimes, but with paint it tends to start the peeling and the paint will continue to peel after you've moved the piece inside) -when you are crosscutting on the miter saw, run a piece of painters tape over the cut area first, you'll prevent most of those "lady fingers" tear outs from the blade. - invest in some bar clamps when you get a chance, you do a lot of larger projects and a set of pipes, and adjustable associated clamp heads will only run you about $60 combined and you'll have enough to clamp any size piece from every direction. Those "strap clamps" tend to apply pressure in one direction and create whats called "directional bowing" which can mess up your finished piece, or at least make you spend too much time trying to sand out the error. - I recommend switching to a "Danish Oil" Blend instead of a Boiled Linseed Oil, you'll get much better long lasting color, water penetration protection, and UV protection from the blended oils than the direct linseed oil (and no, the Danish oil Syndicate are not holding me at gunpoint making me type this.......please....send help...:-O) - those mitered corners are still giving you some trouble (i speak from experience when i say they are one of the hardest things to master, a clean mitered frame). "meet chamfering" the corners is a good technique for making up for the discrepancies, but you'll have a lot more options available to you if you master the clean miter. A miter sled for your table saw is the best place to start. *stepping down off my high horse* You are making some really cool stuff, and are years ahead of most "weekend carpenters". I hope you continue to enjoy the art form, and hope you take my critique for constructive.
Hello again Matthew Thanks as always for your notes on this build. I'm finding it very useful to have someone like yourself willing to take the time to sit down and give me advice on how to improve my projects. As I said before I tend to just work more from instinct and follow the path of what seems right in the moment so a little advice goes a long way. I hope you don't mind but I am going to be asking a few questions as I cover your remarks in this reply. If you have the time to answer some of them it would be extremely appreciated. I would love to be able to get my hands on a sandblaster at some point and I'm sure it would leave a great effect on distressing the paintwork but as you said its not a common tool and I am sure its an expensive one. I have tried using the candle wax technique before on some old side tables for my sister and it worked out well. I'm not sure why I have never considered that it would work just as well on metal work but its something I am sure to keep in mind for the future. I was aware that the paint would continue to peel over time and the way I chose to deal with that issue (and to stop the bare metal from rusting) was to give the the hole base a coat with some spray lacquer after the distressing had been done. Once again working from what just seemed like the right thing to do at the time. Do you think that was the best way to tackle the issue and stop the peeling and rust or did I just waste my time and money? I love the idea of using the painters tape to help cut down on the tear out when running the oak through the miter saw. such a simple yet effective solution to deal with that issue. I am surprised that I have not seen people on youtube using that idea, guess that I am just not subscribed to the right ones hahaha. I have known for a long time that I need to invest in some good bar clamps and that the ratchet straps where just a temporary solution for the problem. I think that boils down to my very English attitude of "make do and mend" so when I first needed to clamp a larger area I found the straps and have just been making do with them since then. I have only just turned on the monetization for my videos 4 days ago but I am shocked to see that I have already made $47.66 over those few days so I think that the first thing I with get from my earnings will be some good bar clamps. (and a few beers to celebrate) I will take your advice about the Danish oil as I know you have far better knowledge of this than I do, if you say its better for all those reasons then I will be using it after the next video (That Danish oil syndicate can be dangerous if they don't trust that you are working in there best interests......... If you add the word holiday into your reply message I will take it as a sign that you are in some kind of danger and that your asking me to contact the police on your behalf.) I agree that mitered corners are not my strong point and same as with the ratchet straps I have just been making do with the results that I have been getting so far. I will have to look into the "meet chamfering" to learn a little more about it and possibly give it a try some time. My table saw did come with a miter sled but I have found the results from using it to be less than desirable...... It just does not seem to fit into its corresponding slot very well and as it is far to loose it makes it useless when it does not give you an accurate cut. I have never been sure if I could find a replacement miter sled to help solve this problem. Are all miter sled fittings universal or would I need to be getting a new one from the same manufacturer as my table saw? Once again thank you very much for taking the time to send me your thoughts and advice on my projects so far. I hope that you are having a pleasent holiday season so far.
Damn you Danish oil syndicate! He still had so much more to offer, so much love to give and now he is lost to the world..... RIP Matthew. hahaha. Hi mate. Once again thanks so much for getting back to me. The first thing I would like to say is that if I should not worry about asking questions then please don't you worry about appearing condescending in any of your messages to me. I understand perfectly that you are here helping and giving advice and that constructive criticism is not something that anyone should shy away from. Thank you for the information about the sand blasters. I would love to have one myself but if I ever chose to get one I would be looking at the more expensive models. An uncle of mine used to work with sand blasters in glass etching after emigrating to Australia. After seeing the work he made I would want to try my hand at glass etching as well and I am sure that the cheaper models would not have the power needed for that kind of work. Its good to know that I had the right kind of idea when it came to the rust and pealing situation on the base. I know that it was not the perfect answer to the problem but just being told that I did not waste my time and money is nice to hear. I do not mind having to go back every now and again to do touch up work with my projects. Having small jobs like that helps keep me on my toes and is a pleasant way to spend a lunch break or 2 every now and again. I have no intentions of getting rid of my ratchet straps any time soon as I find them so useful not only for my projects but in everyday life as well. I will soon be moving house in February and a few straps like that will be indispensable so there is no way I am saying goodbye to them any time soon. Right now I have only been working with Oak as I placed a bulk order locally and have slowly been making my way through it all. I do want to expand into other woods a lot but right now I just don't have the space to store it all (let alone the money to place a new order for some Elm or Yew) Its a shame as my most recent project (the 2nd singer sewing base with an Oak and denim micarta top) is almost finished and I wish that I had used danish oil on it now instead of the teak and raw linseed mix that I made. Guess I will just have to wait for the next project before I can use the Danish oil. I should have just done a quick google search before replying to the meet chamfering portion of our conversation to find out exactly what it was before commenting. I have always referred to a corner like that as a beveled join but I assume that I have been using the wrong terminology for it up until now. I know that they are a huge dust and dirt trap and I was very unsure of how well they would work once the glass was in place. In the end I am pleased with the results even if they are slightly impractical, without them I feel that the top would have just looked far to simple. Making jigs such as the miter sled is something I have known that I needed to do for a long time. I must admit that I find it hard to get the motivation for making things like that when I know I could be working on a table or some shelving units instead. Its all part of the process to moving from being a weekend warrior like myself into someone with a more professional outlook to there work. Thank for for the video link, I will have a look at it and try my best to make myself one before moving on to my next build. Personally I think it would be a great idea for you to start your own youtube channel and I am more that willing to give you any tips and tricks I can to help you with it. I am sure that someone like yourself that enjoys teaching will get a lot out off the feedback and questions you will get in the comments section. I suggest that the best way forward from here is for you to send me a private message via youtube and then I will be able to give you my facebook / skype information to help avoid that carpal tunnel from sending these long messages. (This is just an offer and I would by no means not be offended in any way if you did not want to be in contact with me like that.) To give you a very rough idea about youtube revenue it seems to work out as $1.00 for every 1000 views. It very much depends on what kind of advertising you choose to add to your videos, the rate that you are gaining subscribers and how much you are willing to take the time to reply to the comments that you will be receiving. I hope that gives you some ind of idea of what to expect and as I said before I am more than happy to help out more if you do choose to go down the path of setting up your own channel. Thanks as always for all your help.
Me gusta mucho ese trabajo el resultado extraordinario , tengo la maquina de mi madre alfa antigua y no t tengo el pie aqui es muy dificil e ncontrarlo

Those "strap clamps" tend to apply pressure in one direction and create whats called "directional bowing" which can mess up your finished piece, or at least make you spend too much time trying to sand out the error.
- I recommend switching to a "Danish Oil" Blend instead of a Boiled Linseed Oil, you'll get much better long lasting color, water penetration protection, and UV protection from the blended oils than the direct linseed oil (and no, the Danish oil Syndicate are not holding me at gunpoint making me type this.......please....send help...:-O)

Thanks as always for your notes on this build. I'm finding it very useful to have someone like yourself willing to take the time to sit down and give me advice on how to improve my projects. As I said before I tend to just work more from instinct and follow the path of what seems right in the moment so a little advice goes a long way.

Damn you Danish oil syndicate! He still had so much more to offer, so much love to give and now he is lost to the world..... RIP Matthew. hahaha.
Hi mate.
Once again thanks so much for getting back to me.
The first thing I would like to say is that if I should not worry about asking questions then please don't you worry about appearing condescending in any of your messages to me. I understand perfectly that you are here helping and giving advice and that constructive criticism is not something that anyone should shy away from.
Thank you for the information about the sand blasters. I would love to have one myself but if I ever chose to get one I would be looking at the more expensive models.

Its good to know that I had the right kind of idea when it came to the rust and pealing situation on the base.

I do not mind having to go back every now and again to do touch up work with my projects. Having small jobs like that helps keep me on my toes and is a pleasant way to spend a lunch break or 2 every now and again.
I have no intentions of getting rid of my ratchet straps any time soon as I find them so useful not only for my projects but in everyday life as well. I will soon be moving house in February and a few straps like that will be indispensable so there is no way I am saying goodbye to them any time soon.
Right now I have only been working with Oak as I placed a bulk order locally and have slowly been making my way through it all. I do want to expand into other woods a lot but right now I just don't have the space to store it all (let alone the money to place a new order for some Elm or Yew)
Its a shame as my most recent project (the 2nd singer sewing base with an Oak and denim micarta top) is almost finished and I wish that I had used danish oil on it now instead of the teak and raw linseed mix that I made.

Personally I think it would be a great idea for you to start your own youtube channel and I am more that willing to give you any tips and tricks I can to help you with it. I am sure that someone like yourself that enjoys teaching will get a lot out off the feedback and questions you will get in the comments section.
I suggest that the best way forward from here is for you to send me a private message via youtube and then I will be able to give you my facebook / skype information to help avoid that carpal tunnel from sending these long messages.

To give you a very rough idea about youtube revenue it seems to work out as $1.00 for every 1000 views. It very much depends on what kind of advertising you choose to add to your videos, the rate that you are gaining subscribers and how much you are willing to take the time to reply to the comments that you will be receiving.
I hope that gives you some ind of idea of what to expect and as I said before I am more than happy to help out more if you do choose to go down the path of setting up your own channel.
Thanks as always for all your help.
