Bad boy!!! :thumbdown:

Funny!
|
:shock: :shock: :shock: How dare they!! LOL Creative idea, but I sure hope those treadle machines were in such horrible condition that they couldn't be saved & this was their only salvation.

My DH wants one. I told him there was no way I would participate in the killing of an vintage sewing machine. He thinks my Singer 99K would make a really awesome tractor. I say my Singer 99K makes a really awesome straight stitch, so dream on.

I would hope they were well and truly past their use-by date too. They do look nifty though :)
|
Oh my! The pain, the pain...ooohh!
|

|
Oh my goodness how very cute. Wouldn't one fit in your sewing room (smile)
|
Lets just hope they are ones that just didn't work anymore...

How many of us would love to have a vintage treadle? I hate to see this sort of thing happen.
|
OUCH! He needs beaten with a wet noodle!
|
I really don't like them :(
|
Yeah, I hate those, vanities made from treadle bases, lamps, etc. I can't help but think either the one I'm looking at was "killed" to make the item or that others will be inspired to destroy a working machine to imitate it. <shudder>
|
oh this is beyond awful that man obviously doesn't have a wife that sews

I'd love to have a vintage treadle for myself--to use! I do hope the machines used were no longer usable!

Now, I am trying to recondition an old cabinet that has not been cherished by someone so that I can use the 127 in it, or better yet, the 66 I got . I sure miss that relaxing feeling that treadling gave you as you sewed away.

Okay! So now we need to come up with some way to turn a tractor into a sewing machine! Leave it to a man!

Those are really cute.I hope they were made with ones that were beyond repair. I have a friend who is a farmer and loves all things old that would love one of these
|
I think they are adorable and they were probably well beyind using before they were used for this.
|
Craig's list give me the creeps. Wouldn't be surprised at anything.
