A beautiful featherweight and your table! The featherweight was $350...and the table was $400!greytonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16011928850908138108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-10148658001024076702011-12-30T07:40:13.904-05:002011-12-30T07:40:13.904-05:00The Pfaff is a beauty but with a space issue I thi...The Pfaff is a beauty but with a space issue I think the Featherwight and the new table would win out if I had to make the same decision. What you have now is basically the same set up an industrial: a large work area and a machine flush with the surface. It makes sewing so much easier.Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04668161467072636784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-61775650473187559762011-12-29T22:11:54.177-05:002011-12-29T22:11:54.177-05:00It's looking wonderful.

I'm trying to imagine sewing with so many square feet available to support and facilitate the process. Looks like heaven, in my imagination, at least. Can't wait to see the finished table!Noilehttp://www.noile.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-49819749067123661522011-12-29T20:05:54.199-05:002011-12-29T20:05:54.199-05:00Who knew, the best things in life ARE free!

If you rub beeswax over the top of the acrylic sealer with a very, very fine steel wool (from a french polisher) you get a really soft glowing finish that is durable and stain resistant. Shame about the red hot stripper, though. She can't even move very well. Imagine what she'd think of the strippers you see today.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274649006496918800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-88359661023607968372011-12-29T13:29:14.438-05:002011-12-29T13:29:14.438-05:00The table looks great-- good job!The table looks great-- good job!lwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731797783816953087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-28544707359737050692011-12-29T13:14:30.762-05:002011-12-29T13:14:30.762-05:00Peter, I just saw a Featherweight table sell for $...Peter, I just saw a Featherweight table sell for $355 on eBay. There were 47 bids on the table that started at $12.99. So you got an amazing deal to find yours the way you did. I am most impressed with your hard work. The one that sold on eBay had the wooden insert that your table appears to lack. Your table is going to be a prettier table when you are done with it, though. The one that sold had water stains on it.Tacomapathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12464690580618237508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-51461202413694512532011-12-29T12:06:51.370-05:002011-12-29T12:06:51.370-05:00Such a big difference!!!

Now I'm nearly as excited as you are! It's liked you pulled Cinderella up out of the ashes, dusted her off and now you're transforming her into a princess for the ball... It also makes me think, if you stumbled on this table accidentally, without even looking, then how many other treasures must be sent to the landfills every single day? I get that one man's trash is another's treasure, but that's why we have venues like Craig's List and eBay. Every time something is rescued and repurposed like this, it's like an ecological fairy tale come true. :-)Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-30143298363408879432011-12-29T08:47:44.217-05:002011-12-29T08:47:44.217-05:00The table is looking gorgeous! yeah and for a mil...The table is looking gorgeous! yeah and for a millisecond when i read the blog post title you had me going LOL<br /><br />Good sewing news over this side of the world too...i went and saw a 1948 Singer 201 treadle that was advertised locally today...i bought it.
