I was given the table because they were going to toss it. The top is water damaged and the glue joints are failing. But the treadle is still good and all the parts are there. I wish there was an old Singer in it too.

I actually have one here at the house . . . it was my mom's . . . and may have belonged to my grandmother . . . I don't know for sure. It only has one drawer on each side . . . and the center drawer for all the attachments is still there . . . attachments gone . . . but their home stayed. I learned to sew on the thing . . . mom gave it to me after she got her electric machine . . . I put an aftermarket motor on it . . . sewed a bunch of stuff with it. It's going to my niece . . . I'm 78 . . . starting to part things out so I make sure someone who will care for it . . . gets it. She's a sweetheart . . . just got engaged . . . Anyway . . . have fun with your invention . . . looks like a lot of fun to be had there. My next tool I'll be making will probably be a 60 inch sheet metal brake.

May God bless, Dwight Our family Singer went to my brother, from my grandmother it was the only machine she ever used. We even found receipts from when her dad paid it off back in the early 1900's. If this wood wasn't in such bad shape i would refurbish it in a heart beat. I'll bet your niece treasures that old machine though its good you have someone who will. A brake is on my list someday too lol I'm going to have to change out my furnace one of these years.

Ever heard of duck board? you can make your plenum box and return air box out of duck board then use what is called a spin in to connect the duck to the box after it is connected, paint it with a water proof mastic. I will get you the name later it will last a long time and be close to the same price,, upside. Easier to work with Quote Singer 66, Chi Chi Patcher, Rex 26-188, singer 29k62 , 2-needles D.C.F.M
