frank howarth | Making A Small Table Top @frankmakes | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 6 hours ago
We have an antique sewing machine stand that has the foot treadle to work the sewing machine. I have wanted to make a top for it so it can be a small table in our basement family room. I have a piece of red alder that I cut into shorter lengths and turned the live edge inward to form a valley in the center of the new table top. I then stitched the two halves together with walnut bone shapes that I cut out on the CNC machine. On the top of the table I cut out a space for a piece of plexiglass to cover the valley formed between the two pieces. The table looks quite nice but somehow I feel it is almost too delicate to put anything on.
After I finished this project and had edited the video together, my wife pointed out that it's on a sewing table and I should have done some kind of stitching pattern like a sewing machine would do. How did I do a project about putting two pieces of material together on a sewing machine table and completely miss the idea of stitching the two pieces together?!?!? So pretend the bones are some sort of stitching sewing kind of shape. It's the same project, but maybe it has some kind of cohesive idea.
