What a Waste of a Priceless Antique

Sewing bees universally adore old Singer sewing machines - and for a good reason. They're pretty hardwearing, so they should last for years to come. So this makes us wonder why anyone would want to repurpose this diamond of a sewing machine into a weird-looking lamp? We really hope this sewing machine was broken. In that case, upcycling would be a good idea. But given how robust these machines are, we doubt it.

Although we think this is a waste of a beautiful Singer sewing machine, we're pretty impressed that someone was able to re-wire it to transform it into a functioning lamp.
