I am thinking of getting a second sewing machine table, to put a modern machine on. I really love the antique treadle tables with an iron base, and, the great part, a big hinged fold-out leaf on the left side on which you can support long skirts while sewing them. They are really attractive and useful pieces of furniture. OK, the drawers aren't very big; but I don't really expect sewing machine table drawers to do much more than hold a few things like bobbins and scissors. I have other furniture for real storage. Anyway, I already have a lovely oak sewing table, which is from my old childhood antique treadle machine that my parents sent to me when we moved into this house. I took the machine itself out, gave it away to someone, had the hole filled up with a nice piece of antique oak, and put my Viking on top. Now I want a second one. But, since I didn't even buy the first one in the San Francisco area, I'm not sure where to buy another one. What with the cast iron base, they're not the lightest items to ship, so I'd rather buy one locally if I can. What I'm working around to asking is, does anyone know where to buy such a table/cabinet in the San Francisco Bay Area? I would rather have one that I did not have to take the machine out of and then find someone who wants the machine, but I will do that if necessary. Thanks for any info.
