Sewing machine table

[X_Digger]

A couple of months ago at an estate sale, my wife noticed a bundle of cast iron, tied up with string, marked at $10.



After a quick inspection, I told her we really should get it. Turns out, it was an old 'white' sewing machine base, minus the treadle and wheel.



A couple of weekends later, we stumbled across a tiny sawmill, where the owner was doing a run of cedar. I picked up a massive 2" thick slab for a song.



I had to cut the slab into two sections small enough to fit through my surface planer, then I joined them back together.



After filling in the checks and splits with epoxy, I sanded it smooth and covered it in polyurethane. Once dry, I installed it on the newly painted base.
