Custom Sewing Table

I finished paying off the commercial sewing machine and brought it home. Then, I realized that I'm used to sewing on a huge table. For dealing with stitching the ends on yardage and stuff, a 20" deep table just isn't enough.

Thanks to TJ and our tool shed, I was able to design and build exactly the table I want. In a larger space, it will butt up against the machine table. In this space, it sits at 90 degrees and lets me move the cloth around me as I work.

Here's how we made it:



[Start with a weather-beaten banquet table]



[...and a piece of plywood]



[...lots of tools]



[...and a ton of filling and sanding]



[...and poof! There's a folding sewing table built for the space]
