Aren't you fed up with all those "oh so cute" tables made from old sewing machines? Well, I am. But when I saw an old Excella portable sewing machine for about 12 euro + pp on a local auction website, I decided to give it a try.
I don't have original picture of what I bought but it looked similar to this:
The wooden base turned out to be great material for a display I always dreamt of.
The 5 mm beveled glass was a costly part. A local glassmaker made it for me and I would always support representatives of a dying proffesion like glassmaking :-)
When put upside down, the wooden top appeared an ideal newspaper holder.
The only problem I have with the machine itself, as for now it waits for the better times in a cellar.
