Old SINGER sewing machine, now my new coffee table!

Hey people! We are at it again.😁

There's an old saying in my country.

Need is the best teacher!

I will confirm that one 😉.

Straight in the subject. I love coffee! Nope, that's not even close.
I am addicted to coffee!
Now sounds more real 😌. Anyway, I moved recently and we (my wife and me) feel like ten years ago, when we first moved together. No furniture or anything else around 🙄. Which also means that I don't didn't have a coffee table.
Eh, I can't describe the pain of working with my laptop on a chair and my beloved cup of coffee somewhere on the ground. Plot for horror story, believe me.
Until one day when I stood up and made the statement of my life

I need a coffee table!

Said and done. I went straight to my parents house which is just across the street and put my hands on a hundred years old sewing machine who was laying in a corner. Of course I was so excited and I forgot to take a picture before taking off all the unnecessary parts, so you have to take my word for it 😋.

Step number two! I went in the attic and confiscated some scrap wood planks, left behind by Moa a few years ago, from another unfinished project of mine. A bedroom for my nephew (really hope I will find the time to finish it this year 😅).
Here's a picture, all the paneling is made in the backyard from ordinary wood planks.

Yeah, it was quite a challenge. Anyway, back to my coffee table 😁.
Got the materials, yaay!

Of course I got to absorbed working on it, and I forgot again to take pictures of the steps. Quick measure, cutting, made the holes, found the right screws (lucky 😎). Et Voilà!

Almost done, just some final touches 😉.

Of course, my son helped me all the time 😤!

And that dog is our newest member of the family, it was on the street and that was enough for my wife 🤯. I have three dogs now, 😵🤪. At least it's not ugly 😌.

Finally! I introduce to you...
THE COFFEE TABLE!

Please keep in mind that I am not a carpenter and I am quite lazy as well. If I start something and is not finished in a day or so, it may remain unfinished forever 😅.
I know is not the most beautiful coffee table, but is mine 😊. And now I can finally drink my coffee and write this post without searching for that cup 😁.

Tomorrow I will start with gardening, so there's a chance for a post about that in a few days 😉.

Also, let me know if you guys want to get my little DIY projects recorded on video. It takes a lot more, and I will not gonna stress out, unless there's demand for this.

This is it, until next time don't forget to have some fun 😉.
