Default repurposeing a treadle base

This started out as a cabinet I bought to use for parts - top was trashed but everything else was OK - and then I discovered these came in two sizes and I needed the older, larger size.

So several years ago I made a new top for it, with plans I'd use it for my serge. But that was before I started collecting way to many cabinets, and soon it got regulated out to the storage shed.

I finally found a good use for it. Yes, I know. . . and I feel sort of like a traitor as my 35 year old Viking sits on the floor now. I tried using the cabinet I had for the Viking, but the new machine has a knee lift and needed a shallow table for it to work. When I get things cleaned up I'll have room for the other cabinet and will have the Viking set up too - as the new machine is straight stitch only.



We had to take off the pedal, guard and wheel to make it work.
