Constabulary Report post Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) ... lamps 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... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Metal-Singer-Jones-Sewing-Machine-Table-Lamp-Light-Steampunk-Retro-Industrial-/331272661602?pt=UK_CraftsCollect_SewingMachines_RL&hash=item4d2163aa62 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Chrome-Singer-Sewing-Machine-Table-Lamp-Light-Steampunk-Retro-Industrial-/331270801796?pt=UK_CraftsCollect_SewingMachines_RL&hash=item4d21474984 http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-SINGER-1935-99k-SEWING-MACHINE-TABLE-LIGHT-LAMP-STEAMPUNK-UPCYCLED-/380962930355?pt=UK_CraftsCollect_SewingMachines_RL&hash=item58b328feb3 Edited August 1, 2014 by Constabulary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Brosowski Report post Posted August 1, 2014 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.

ramrod Report post Posted August 3, 2014 very imaginative....and quite cool. that is, as long as the machines were DEAD before they cannibalized them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
