I was wandering around in a tag sale one day and came across an old chipboard guitar case, which seemed like the perfect candidate for an unusual table.  So, I headed to my shop with my $5 purchase and got to work.

Very cool idea! I love that old typewriter you have there too :)

Thanks, Penolopy! This was a fun project. The typewriter was made in 1923, so it's now 90 years old. I just finished cleaning it, installing a new carriage return string, and making new front feed rollers. These things are built like tanks! Thanks again for the comment.
