Beautiful job! And like Charlee mentioned, I love that he was thoughtful and observant enough to place the machine on the right side, giving you plenty of room for material on the left and allowing you to sit centered on the needle. I've seen chop-jobs where guys with no sewing experience make tables for machines and instinctively center the machine on the table. Yours looks great!

It looks perfect to me. And you have plenty of room on the left for a quilt. Lucky you!

Nice cabinet. I have a 401A in the original cabinet I bought it in. I made the purchase in 1961, and would not take anything for it.

I was so proud I had to share

Beautiful, I still have mine in it's cabinet that it came in new. Can't part with one of them.. enjoy the new cabinet: your husband did a great job.
