Southerngunner Report post Posted April 24 (edited) Well here it is so far, I still have to make a side cabinet for storage . At this points it is usable the way it is. The top is 2 pieces of 3/4" plywood glued and screwed with a border of 3/4" Birdseye Maple. The replaceable top is. 1/4" Lexan ( an old windshield from a Yamaha Rhino) I set up a 12" and 2" pulley system and a Consew servo motor to drive my Cobra class 26 at a controllable speed with gobs of torque. Most of it was built with stuff that I had hoarded because it was to good to throw out. Comments are welcomed Here is a couple more pictures Edited April 24 by Southerngunner Spelling Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Southerngunner Report post Posted April 24 Yes that is a factory K -leg table next to it. I just wanted to prove to myself that I could make a usable table. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GerryR Report post Posted April 24 Very nice!! Looks like with that speed reducer you can make a stitch every 30-days or so . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep I can turn up the adjustments on the servo for speed and still be able to go 1 stitch at a time when needed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, I was a welder/ fabricator/ heavy equipment mechanic for 45 years. It felt good to do some welding after a couple years of not working with metal.

I will be welding up the stand for my bell skiver tomorrow and my mig has not been used for a few years. Propbably take longer to clean and set up my welder than the project that needs to be done. @Southerngunner Nice sewing table you got put together there. The satisfaction of creating something from an idea to fulfill a need is priceless. I am spending way more time fabricating bits and pieces to support my leather craft than spend doing the craft in the first place! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't touched my welder for a few years also, but after a couple passes on scraps it started coming back to me. I plan on statring to building a side cabinet today and then I need a light. I did make my own thread stand however. My wife thinks I'm nuts to take time to build something that I could order for $15.00. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
