What to do with a treadle cabinet.
I thought this was a very cool idea:

I saw that one earlier this morning. Please... No! It can be so hard to find a nice treadle cabinet with the wood in good shape! I have yet to find one for my orphaned treadle machine, but I hope I do one day...

Some people are enthusiastic to make use of their treadle cabinet when they do not have the machine. It's better than sending the cabinet to the landfill. There have been many such discussions in this forum similar to this one.

Noooooooo! I recently saw the exact cabinet I need for my Free No. 5 in near perfect condition at a shop. Opened it to look at the mechanicals and found it had been converted to a liquor cabinet/portable bar. I have been looking for a cabinet for over two years. So I repeat: Noooooooo!
