MamedInCanada,

It may be wise that you hide your email address.

Just a thought.

Someone, somewhere on a sewing machine enthusiast forum is raging about what was done to that old Singer.  ;D

Wow.  Um, no.  Those old singer machines can damn near stitch plate steel together.  What a shame.  He didn't even bother to re-finish the wood.

Hmm. On the one hand, I think it's pretty cool to repurpose things.

On the other, I question the "play from the end of the cabinet" design and the execution of the stick and buttons. And admin buttons on the back?

As to the sewing machine, from what I understand, those old Singer treadle machines are so common, they just aren't worth all that much, even when restored. However, the machine looked to be in decent shape. I could have seen maybe using some of it's elements in the cabinet somehow.

If you check out the before and after pics, it does look like he did at least some work on refinishing.
