Steps

Step 1

Pull apart table and wire brush metal parts to remove rust. 
Use wood glue to reattach veneer. Lightly sand wood in preparation for paint. 
Paint timber and iron in satin black. Detail work (Singer logo, drawer knobs and motif) painted in matte gold. 
Make a router sliding jig to reduce reclaimed timber to desired width (the days before the thicknesser!). Sand all surfaces but be careful to retain live edge. 
Pour epoxy resin onto tabletop to finish and sand and polish until satisfied. 
Reassemble all pieces.

Hi @touzelfam 

Very nice restoration  thanks for sharing.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @touzelfam. It's fabulous to have you join us, and many thanks for sharing your wonderful project.

What a terrific transformation into a functional and aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture. It's so amazing to see you make use of this dated piece and give it a new lease on life. I absolutely love the live-edge timber you've used and the black for the frame; a great contrast between the warmth of the timber and the paint.

Many thanks for sharing and we look forward to hearing all about your other projects and plans around the house and garden.
