    Default Tweedales and Smalley table

    Got this sitting in the shed. Its a heavy cast iron thing.

    Ideas on what it was used for?

    Its bugger to try and move around. Recon would have to dismantle to get it out.shed table 1.jpgshed table 2.jpg

    Roof is a bit low to get the tractor into move around. Probably why it was left there when I bought the place.

    Got 1939 stamped on it, so shes a few years old

    I will never be the person who has everything, not when someone keeps inventing so much cool new stuff to buy.

    From an early age my father taught me to wear welding gloves . "Its not to protect your hands son, its to put out the fire when u set yourself alight".

    Those guys made machines for the manufacture of textiles, I'm guessing that your frame is a base frame of some type on which the rest of the machine was mounted.

    Probably a remnant from the old Bendigo Woolen Mill, looks like it would make a brilliant workbench.

    That is a great looking piece of cast iron! I love that kinda stuff. Looks like the rest of the legs are something else though or at least a different pattern.
