Swords Into Plowshares - Sewing Machines Into...

Recommended Posts

... lamps :spoton:

From time to time I´m checking the eBay for vintage lamps and other nice vintage "junk" and what sometimes is crossing my search is that some people turn broken or unwanted sewing machines or just parts of it into lamps.

A neat idea and some of them really don't look bad. And with a little work you really can get some good bucks for them as it seems.

This is probably and Idea for you Steampunk fans out there...

Have seen many steampunked machines over the last couple of years. Unfortunately the asking prices are usually too much for the market and they do not sell :(

I have done steampunk versions of the ABLE 290 where I strip the machine, grind out the rough casting defects, paint the body black and plate most parts in copper.

very imaginative....and quite cool. that is, as long as the machines were DEAD before they cannibalized them.
