You just described my sewing table is.... the iron base of an old treadle (with treadle removed) with a white and red enamel top..... I spotted it at a flea market and paid $50 for it, and before I could get it back to my car I had several women offer me twice what I paid for it, but I just smiled politely and said sorry, she's coming home with me.

Not weird at all my dh made a table with a large drawer in mine and it works very well in my sewing machine room

You betcha! When my grandmother closed down her home, my uncle was going to pitch one because he saw it as junk. I grabbed it, my husband made a top for it,and painted it white. It now sits on my front porch to put my plants on it in the summer...along with a glass of tea!

We actually visited a coastal tourist town in NY last year where a lovely little Bistro had all their tables made from old treadle bases.

I have one with a ply wood top
that my machine sits on.

You are not weird.

i have a table with the Singer bottom, treadle and all. I bought it because my Mother used to have a treadle machine and it reminded me of that time. so yes, go for it.

Years ago I found the bottom of a treadle machine, no cabinet. I took it home sanded it down, painted it, purchased a glass top and it has been a 'table' in my house ever since. I have gotten so many compliments on it over the years.

It wouldn't be weird. There is a family resturant in the Denver, CO metro area that all the tables were made with them. I would think the place is still there, but I don't remember the name of it.

Sounds like it would make a great desk or table or anything else you can come up with. If you haven't already, I would go back and get it!

Hey! It is OK to be weird if that is what you like!
