Thread: Cutting Table

The drafting table is a brilliant idea!. Because of the way they tilt you could use it to display a piece of art when company comes. It would be much prettier than most kinds of tables.

I had an old 9 drawer dresser, and my DH got a hollow core door for about $25 and glued it on top of the dresser. It makes a GREAT cutting table, and just about the right height!! Very cheap way to do it. Plus you gain all the storage in the drawers.

Very creative! I love this idea!

I love all the creative ideas. I have a folding cutting table that is on wheels. I can open it up to use it, and then fold the "wings" down and push it against the wall, or behind the sofa for a sofa table! I like not havng to bend over. Saves so much stress on my back! Also good for bastng. The counter height is WONDERFUL!

Thanks for posting the picture. You sure have lot of storage now! It looks great!

looks like my sewing room....good idea

my cutting table bought at Jo-Ann's is about 15" X 36" when it is closed. The sides fold down. When it is completely open it probably about 36 X 72. I use it for cutting and basteing. My sewing room is also the guest bedroom. It has a hi-riser bed and a bureau in it.
It seems to work for me. I have to move this around so I can cut, but it works.
