Tip: Antique Sewing Machine Part 2.....
+2
My bathroom vanity makes me so happy! But the beautiful designed antique sewing machine just could not be tossed. Another brainstorm!! I purchased a lamp kit and a small piece of PVC pipe from Lowe's. After cutting the PVC pipe to the length I wanted, I painted it black. Then I drilled into the sewing machine, it was remarkably easy to run the lamp wire thru the sewing machine but i couldn't figure any way to stand the PVC2 pipe securely so I "rigged" it with a washer and a liberal amount of JB Weld, a 2 part epoxy. I painted all of the components black to match the machine and then went to work building a simple "box" from plywood and trim to cover the base of the machine. It is very heavy, but I just LOVE my unique lamp!

This would be too large a lamp for me BUT I love the creativity and ability you have to think outside the box. While not all things are to my taste, I can always appreciate a brilliant idea or look. Well done! -

I have an antique Singer portable from the late 40's and I still use it. It is so compact and fits into a small case that is really handy to have when you don't have the space for a regular sewing machine in its own table.
