I purchased the plan from LoyocaWorkshop. I couldn’t post a link for some reason. Cost me $6
-
I think it cost me $20 NZ. Nearly top price in the super market.

I made this as gift for the person that gave me a badly damaged Mahogany table and also was kind enough to give me a piece os oak table top. So it been made from bits of both. The wine seems to fit the project perfectly. It could be absolute rot gut but then it doesn’t matter as I doubt I’ll be drinking it.

Wonderful work!

Great work. Once again simplicity shows it true colours.

AI absolutely frightens me but I’m old.

Exactly so. Years ago nearly every house hold here had one of these. Those days clothes were often hand made or hand me downs that needed adjustments. Later there was a period where charity organisations were collecting them to send overseas. Now they all seem to end up as ornaments and tables. The price can vary hugely from the ridiculously high to the giveaway cheap no matter what the condition.

My thought exactly. Just look at all those little ornate draws just begging for blades etc.

Yep, but it needs work. These sewing machine tables pop up often on sales sites. This one is going for $60 usd. I just missed out on a free one last week. I am thinking that it would almost be wrong to convert it. Decisions decisions.

I have a chance to buy this and I’m wondering if it could (should) be adapted as a scroll saw table. Stability might be a problem. Ruining a antique could be a bigger problem.

What a great adventure Frank. I envy you. The 5 days at sea will be a bit of an eye opener to how big this world of ours really is. Of course we expect updates and pictures. Have a wonderful adventure.

I think I’ll give that recipe a whirl. Finishing products cost a small fortune here in New Zealand. I converted nzd to usd and a gallon of Tung oil is on average about $95 usd. Danish oil $137 usd. So anything to lower the cost but not the finish always interests me

That may be simple but it is beautifully cut. Well done indeed.
