I recently bought a used Adler 205-374 with a needle positioning system and a motor that can run the machine very slow. The machine stand was a pile of junk so I had to do something about it.

I bought eight meters of 40x40x2 mm square tubing,cut it to pieces and welded it into a new machine stand of my own design. The pedals from the old stand are used. Tomorrow I´ll start making the table top from 2" pine boards.

Next week I hope I´ll have my Dream Machine running on a new stand, and harness makers presser feet from Weaver are on their way across the Atlantic. A real upgrade from an old Singer 45K ( AD 1919) and a Tippmann Boss with bad morning temper !

Great job!! If you have Baltic Birch Plywood available to you, might consider making your top of it.

mange takk! ;-)

I´ll have the table top ready next week, a couple of holes to locate and drill, and then we´ll see if I´ll get the whole thing together - and working.

I finished the table top today and made the assembly. The machine is running again and I´m happy with the result!post-5173-021247800 1288812686_thumb.jpg

(At least it is a bit better than the stand that was on the machine when I bought it ! )

Dang oldtimer you've done an awesome job with this stand! :You_Rock_Emoticon: I've been meaning to learn to weld for the longest, 2011 for sure.

Nice work, you should be proud. Did you put any finish on that top? Some nice satin Poly would look good and keep it "pretty". rolleyes2.gif

The top is made of three layers, two layers of 18 mm pineboards, glued to a four mm plywood in between, which makes a total of 40 mm, same as the original top. The pine boards are glued with the fibers at 90 degrees angle, which makes a stiff table top. The top is finished with a satin polyurethane lacquer.

Next project, starting today, is a flat bed attachment.

When I get the harness makers feet, I´ll have my dream machine, (even if it is an Adler) :whistle:
