Be sure your blood pressure medication is working because this is an odd repurposing of sewing machines. http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hn...267721914.html
No flames, no bad language please or do you think it's clever? |
It looks like they didn't do too much damage to the machines, so they could be returned to a functional state.
I do like the old style light bulbs though. Joe |
No liking them. I suppose if they were already non-functioning and hard to find parts missing, it is better than selling them as scrap iron.

Also guessing they were non-functioning with that I'll add a few photo's I took last year at the Peck Thing!

The lamps weren't a bad job. Looks like they used decent sockets and the repro bulbs are ok. Hate the tractors though.

If they were not working it is clever. Better then tossing them. I like how they kept most of the integrity of the machine versus painting it or dismantling it. Not my thing though.

"No flames, no bad language please or do you think it's clever?"
I am going to go with 'clever'. The machines were likely going to sit and rust and not be sewn on anyhow. The maker did almost no/no damage to the machine. It is tastefully done, as these things go, and I do like the type of bulb s/he chose. It also seems to me as though if one were so inclined, it would be minimal work to reverse the process. On a similar note, I have an Elna Supermatic carcass, and I am giving serious thought to converting it into an espresso maker. I kid you not. Currently it is in use as a bedside lamp. -C. |
I love the idea! I think that they could have used a longer rod on the socket so that a lampshade could have been added, though.

*** I hope they CANNOT sell them,
