You would die, i just cut into the top of a very similiar cabinet of my grandmother's so i could fit my more modern machine into it! I decided she would want me to be able to machine quilt comfortably...

I agree. Looks very "mid-century modern-ish."

That is just like the cabinet my grandmother had. In the late 40s or early 50s she converted her old treadle to electric and bought this cabinet for it. I sat in front of that cabinet a lot.

You did a great job on it.
