Before the days of computers I used to do my work on a huge 4’x6’ 2” thick redwood drawing board that was built about 1920. When the world became computerized it took up a lot of space and the wood top I built into a beautiful kitchen island. The supporting structure was this big pedestal that I tripped over in the shed forever. I’m big on repurposing things when I can.

I know no one would have that exact base to make a wash rack out of. I would use both an old drop bar and also a quill type stem and find a pipe with a hole to fit the stem in. You could also drill a hole in a post to fit a stem. I never toss a junk bike without stripping a few goodies off it you never know when they will come in handy.

Here is the table top as an off topic side note. Building a kitchen from scratch is fun to do everyone should try it at least once.
