    Recently someone posted a picture of a small table they made with just the side legs of a treadle to hold their Featherweight while they are using it. It was adorable!!! I thought it was very clever, and I would do it if I could find the legs!!!

    A friend of my step-father's made a table for me using the two side legs I found in my late MIL's basement. I absolutely love it! It's the perfect height for a side table, and I used it next to my sofa (the arms of the sofa are pretty high) when I lived in an apartment. He even put a shelf under the top. It's currently in my bedroom and has my DVD player and cable box sitting on it. :thumbup:

    The antique stores around here have all re-purposed them into anything from an ordinary side table to a lathe. If you like it, buy it!

    I think it would make for a very nice addition in your home.

    My friend's husband made her a small island for her kitchen out of one and a cutting board table out of the other. They look lovely in her home.

    It would make a cool table. I wouldn't hesitate.
