I have a base just like that one, we put a board on it finished it out and I have my Red Eye in a base myDH made for her sitting on it. It looks great!!!! Here is a Pic of "Angel Wings' on Her new Base.

Sorry, I need to clear up something, the base She is sitting in my DH did not make, this one I ordered, He did make some out of Cedar though that turned out beautiful.

Grannyh, love it!

I have 3 bases. One is an bedside night stand and the other two have a piece of glass on them and they are end tables on each side of my sofa.

Beautiful!

I have the base and have been looking for something to make a top. Can you tell me the size and what kind of wood and where you got it. Thanks.

I bought a ready to finish aspen 24x36 at Menards. I had a place to put it so I bought the size to fit there. I didn't pretreat....big mistake. It took 9 coats of poly to get it smooth enough for my liking. I love how it turned out. I thought about oak because it would be really pretty, but it was more than double the cost.

You sure are one lucky person I would just love to have one of the old singer cast iron bottoms I would make a table also.I sure wish I were you when you found them.

My late grandfather was great at repurposing things. I had a small table he had made using the base of a treadle sewing machine and fitted a plywood top on it. My kids used to play with it, but for the life on me, I have no idea what happened to it when we moved.
