I know there may be some cabinets out there not worth saving, but I've also seen a lot of nice benches and cabinets get painted just because they were cheap.

You can reuse and not destroy the originals that way ;) Gee I wish I remembered more about the process. A lot of the images would be available free via the Smithsonian Institute... |

I know it's not a popular opinion around here but I have one that might get redone just like that. Depends on how it comes out if I can save the sewing machine function of the table. It was pretty abused over the years and I would rather save it then landfill it but it's past simple refinishing.
However, book pages make me angsty and I wonder what happened to the machine. |
I don't know who was the bigger idiot, the seller or the thief.
http://newyork.craigslist.org/que/atq/4102118722.html The ad says: "c.1930's +/- Antique Davis Treadle Sewing Machine in Oak Cabinet with Cast Iron Base. This machine needs a new belt. There are numerous sewing attachments in the drawers; one on each side, and one in the center. this is sitting in my driveway. I am asking for a $10.00 (or better) donation - you decide, payable to American Cancer Society. leave check in mailbox if interested.Otherwise this machine is free to the first person who comes and picks it up. email for exact location." So I emailed for the location and the seller replied back, "Unfortunately some no-good person walking by, ripped the machine itself out of the case leaving the table partly broken." Argh. |

The style is not to my taste but I don't have a problem with it as long as it can be turned back into a sewing machine cabinet if the need arises. On the other hand, I'm not a proponent of fascism so people should do what they like.

It amazes me that people don't even open the manual and look at the pictures! Though the funniest was the lady selling a white featherweight with a 66-18 manual. She said she researched it, and was firm at $75. I wasn't going to argue . . .

I have cabinets that would benefit from some kind of serious redecorating - I wouldn't even blink.
