![]() ![]() I also painted inside the drawers using Minwax timber stain in Slate grey to give a washed effect to the inside of the drawers and to get rid of that orange brown colour and disguise any water staining. Then this baby was painted in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint - Duck Egg Blue. Then the cabinet - the Sewing machine was removed, then the drawers and then the frame taken apart and given a good sand and clean and any repairs necessary were made at this point. The frame was sanded and cleaned and painted in Hammerite smooth black spray paint over a coat of Feronite rust converter. I dis-assembled the whole thing in order to clean sand and paint. There was also some damaged veneer that was easily removed using a wet towel and steam iron. A couple of broken off bits of timber and loose joints around the frame for the drawers but that was nothing that could not be fixed with a little wood glue. There was some damage as could be expected for its age (1911). The big difference between this one and my first, was that this time the cabinet was largely intact and could be made over. This is my second Singer treadle machine makeover. ![]()
