Instead of sewing I got these treadle iron pieces from a friend -cleaned, painted then mounted a piece of chopping block wood to the top for an extra table in kitchen.
Thanks for looking --was in Vintage area few days ago but intended to share with all.

Now usable

What a beautiful table. You did good!!!

my dh is looking for legs to do just that with.. nice to see a pic of it !

I used to have one very similarly made that I used in my kitchen as an island. I have a set of legs now and plan to make another one. They come in handy for all sorts of things, even as an added quilt space next to your sewing machine when FMQ.

Jammin' Jane 05-19-2011 12:09 PM

Wow, all it needs now , is a large bunch of spring flowers, or a vintage machine of course.

oops double clicked!

Izaquilter 05-19-2011 05:33 PM

That's similar to what I'm trying to get my DH to do with mine. I wanted a long bench/table like top for a plant stand but he's just never gotten around to it! :-(

4EVERquilt 05-19-2011 05:34 PM

That's so awesome!!

Carron 05-19-2011 06:55 PM

Don't you love re-purposing. :-)

MaryAnnMc 05-20-2011 03:57 AM

That is so much lovelier than the one my DH made. lol

harvsstuff 05-20-2011 04:04 AM

Nice save.

debbiewi 05-20-2011 04:29 AM

looks great, I just found an old treadle base at a rummage sale for $5. What did you use to clean them?

nabobw 05-20-2011 04:53 AM

It did make a very cute table

hcarpanini 05-20-2011 04:54 AM

So many uses for those, nice!

just_the_scraps_m'am 05-20-2011 05:22 AM

great save!

Mornigstar 05-20-2011 05:27 AM

Will reply here so others can read too. Washed with strong soap and water. Then used a wire brush to remove any loose paint/rust, washed and dried before I sprayed legs with 1 can of inexpensive black paint -because it's for inside usage. I had the chopping block piece of wood
(24" x 27") that was lightly sanded with 0000 steel wool,
well cleaned off, even used cloth with bleach to finish cleaning/sterilizing. Rubbed in light coating of olive oil just before I took the photo so I didn't want to set anything on the top until dry.

I have a large chopping block over 175 yrs old so have special oil that doesn't go rancid for food use.
Skilled in refinishing so this was a small job to do. Today will keep at the Singer cabinet that I want done by Tues.
