Yesterday, I drove past an antique store. Out front they had old Singer treadle legs. There is no machine or cabinet - just the bottom part with the foot pedal and the side legs.

Would it be weird to buy this and make a table or something from it? Or an old fashioned cabinet (that looks like a sewing machine cabinet) to hold supplies?

One set actually is only the sides legs, without the foot pedal or wheel. Would it be weird to buy these and make a desk of it?

People have purchased odder things.

Buy them and enjoy. I think the desk would be lovely.

Not weird in my opinion. I used to have a set of legs that we put a counter top on. I used it in my kitchen as an island. I have a couple of old treadle machines and often consider tearing them down for the legs so I can make some cute sewing tables out of them. I would go for the one with the actual treadle on it!
