Related: About this forumIndustrial coffee table
We found a really neat sewing machine base recently- a short one, that the wheel protrudes above the base.
I made an industrial-style top, with a breadboard edge, pegs, and a dutchman inlay to cover a particularly nasty knot.
It's not really that orange, the flash just did something weird to the color.
And yes, it's a good thing we don't have kids, or there would be broken fingers.

And it's a good point about broken fingers. Is it possible to lock the treadle in place?
