I have this feeling that there are going to be quite a few busy husbands around the country for the next few weeks! LOL. We didn't have any plans for this desk, just a bunch of ideas wrote on a piece of paper. It all started when I went to our local Bernina store and seen one of the desks there, but I wasn't about to drop a couple thousand on a desk.
My husband built the desk in 3 seperate sections (top, base cabniet, and the side with the sewing machine).
The top is 2 layers of 3/4 inch plywood and topped with a formica countertop (like kitchen counters). And trimed with oak. It will make for a nice smooth surface for machine quilting.
If any of you decicde to make one like this just make sure you measure your doorways first. we almost made a big mistake because I actually wanted the desk a little wider, but we found out that we wouldn't have been able to get it through the doors if we made it that big. And I don't want to sew in the garage LOL.
