Had to take a break and build a sewing table top

Been putting off replacing a table top for one of my machines for too long. Lowe’s has 2x4 feet butcher block counter tops pretty cheap so I just used a few woodworking tools and build a much better top than I can buy. Really pleased with how it turned out 7E169D06-E77F-43A2-B055-8116A35115B1.png
 
Nice job. What happened to your old top? I can't see how you could destroy one by slamming fabric on it. Maybe if you were iron working on it. Your stand doesn't have any rust so rot was probably not a problem.

They just start to sag after a while. So I figured this butcher block would work better. From past experiences with wood glue it seems to be stronger than wood itself
 
Great job. Solid wood work.

I've got something similar planned but I'm gonna weld up a new base too. Mine is in my living room so I'd like it to look a little nicer than the bolt together bases for factory work.

I’ve thought about using 2 inch steel pipe and the fittings to assemble. Gives it an antique industrial look. And would last forever
 
Got it all cut out, sealed, and assembled with a new brushless servo and 1.5 inch pulley. She’s got a lot of torque. Gonna set this 1541 up for black thread and dedicate my 1508 to coyote thread. That’s how much I hate changing thread and getting the tension perfect. Really happy with this table so if you have the tools and need a new table I highly recommend building your own
