My mom gave me this sewing machine 25+ years ago. For the last 15 years it has been stored up in the loft of our barn. Today Charlie gets a makeover. I can't wait to get my hands dirty with this piece.
Boy did he need a good cleaning!
Wow, do you all remember these thumb tacks? Looks like they use them to shim up the drawers that don't sit straight.
I spent LOTS of time sanding the top.
The side on the right is done, now time to work on the left side.
Charlie is starting to take shape.
I gave the top a new coat of stain plus a nice coat of wax.

I also spent a lot of time cleaning the hardware. Here is the before and after, they cleaned up nice.
I Love the finish on this top.
I did sand some spots and I also put on a coat of glaze.
I use charlie for a lap top table.
The printer fits perfect where the sewing machine was stored.
I do have a chair in the works for this table.
Thanks for stopping by
