Hi all,

Wondering if anyone is willing to share ideas, pictures, thoughts, etc. on their own standard (or custom) tables for their cylinder arm machines??

My Singer 153 arrives tomorrow, and I'm still debating on picking up a regular industrial table, or building my own!

Any thoughts, as always, would be greatly appreciated!

AB

Toledo Industrial Sewing Machines (866-362-7397) has cut-out tables and what I would call work station platforms on wheels, for cylinder arm machines. The workstation type has a steel frame on the right side, with a wooden platform on top. The machine bolts onto the left edge of the top and sticks out over the empty space on the left. There is a steel base on the bottom left, containing the pressor foot lift and speed pedals. They are pre-drilled for standard motors and have a long slot for the v-belt. They also come with an accessory drawer on the bottom right edge.

Sir,

After reading some of your older posts, and seeing your high-regard for Toledo Industrial Sewing, I actually ordered my machine from them!!

I considered the "pedestal" table that you are referring to, but it's $300.... I figured I'd try to design / rig one up, first, before I (inevitably) purchase that table.... In your opinion, should I scrap any idea of building a table, and just order this table from Toledo??

Thanks,

AB

I could never build one right the first second third time.....so it would be well worth the $300 for me....

That is the very stand that I was referring to, which is sold by Toledo Industrial Sewing Machines.

Here is pic of my Adler 205 on a stand I built a couple of months ago. I used 40mm x 40 mm square tubing.

Great looking stand Oldtimer.

My thoughts on these stands are if you have the tools (welder, metal cutting tools, good drills, and the know how) then build your own by all means. If you are interested in learning how to build stuff and have the time then you may as well go about building one since like anything it can be educational. However if you dont have the tools, time, or drive to learn this particular craft (god knows in my case I have enough hobbies as it is) then it just pays to buy one premade.

Its kind of like buying leather working stamps or making your own. If you are skilled enough or wanna learn the craft you can make some excellent quality stamps, however the time and energy and money involved need to be weighed in comparison to just buying the better quality stamps to begin with,

That's a dang nice stand in anyone's book oldtimer. It is functional, stout & pretty to boot.

Like Madmaxx22 just said if you got the time & tools yea . . . do it. However, 300 smackers for a bought & paid for stand isn't bad either.

I've seen them made of wood too; that looked pretty good. They are inexpensive but take a few hours to build.

Just depends on your circumstances I suppose.
