ilovecatstoo writes: The concept is nice, but the function is not practical. Much too low to be a functioning basin. Sorry, I would have used the sewing machine base for an end table. Posted: 9:31 pm on May 15th

MimiToria writes: Such a clean and cool design idea you two came up with. Great repurposing and great classy finishing of the project. It looks like it was a $1,500 item you'd buy in a high end shop with the detailing you did to complete it. I hope it gives you two many years of washing of hands.
I love this! I might try to come up with something like this for out at my cabin by my outside faucet/hose area near my garden. I get free granite which would be weather resistent and the metal table would work in the rough Minnesota elements as well. Very cool!

mkarl writes: thanks for the comments. top is reclaimed oak edge glued (kind of like butcher block, but not end grain) I milk painted it black and used 4 coats of marine spar varnish.
