From the old sewing machine, which has long been "unwound", the author suggests making a simple stationary jigsaw with your own hands.
It can be installed in the garage and home workshop. However, you will additionally need to make a desktop from plywood or chipboard.
With the help of a home-made stationary jigsaw, you can cut various shaped blanks and parts for any crafts from wood or plywood sheets.
An electric motor is used here as a drive. You will also need a keyless chuck for files from a jigsaw.
The main stages of work
First of all, you need to remove all unnecessary parts from the old sewing machine. Then it will be necessary to slightly shorten the stem with a keyless chuck.
Then you need to drill a hole in the marked area. You will also need to drill one hole in the stock of the sewing machine itself.
At the next stage, it is necessary to dock the sewing machine stock with the stock with the jigsaw chuck.
Next, using a hammer, the plastic pulley from the washing machine will need to be carefully placed on the shaft of the sewing machine. From the chipboard (or plywood) it is necessary to cut the base for the sewing machine.
At the last stage, it remains only to make a desktop and fix an electric motor under it. The detailed process of manufacturing a stationary jigsaw from an old sewing machine can be seen in the video on the website.
