Scored a Singer treadle sewing machine base!
 

I was at the recycling center and saw a truck loaded with scrap metal, including a black iron Singer treadle sewing machine base, getting weighed and ready to sell it all for scrap. I ran over and asked them if I could buy it for $20 and it became mine! It's beautiful and I've wanted one for awhile. You just never know what will show up there. I'm excited!

That's Great!!! I love rescue stories.

You must have eagle eyes! What do you have planned for your great find Therese?

I plan to put a top on it and use it as a table. I'm thinking wood but other materials are an option too.

Eagle eyes, haha. When I saw that base I ran toward it with no hesitation!

I realized a few nights ago that our neighbors have their dining table set on two treadle bases.

Cheers, K

I'd love to do something like that too - those bases are so pretty!
