Years ago I had a man who built things price a sewing table for me. Your Dad is great. Make him some pies,breads,ckaes or anything.
My husband made me a neat set of drawers many moons ago it has shallow drawers for threads notions etc. Really needs a cleaning out so bad.I have used it ever since he make it and it is so handy,sits right to the right of my machine[Janome].Handy as can be.
