You just need this:

I can't speak to the quality of either airlift as I haven't really investigated it further yet. I've just kept the links bookmarked because one day I'd like to do this. I have strange space that none of the existing tables will efficiently fill.

You can really customize it to your specifications and wallet. Do a Google search on "sewing machine table directions" and you'll get a ton of results to sift through. Too many for me to list here. At least the pictures will give you (and your carpenter) some ideas.

But it would certainly be a lot cheaper to ship over than a table. Although I'm sure they both come from your neck of the woods originally. :wink: :wink:

Wow, these airlifts are really expensive! Almost the price of a regular sewing table! I'll need to discuss with my carpenter, show him pics etc to see if he could manage anything. Problem is, sewing tables are pretty rare here in Singapore, as people hardly sew as a hobby. Hence, there's no physical sample for my carpenter to see. Perhaps I should just forget about the airlift and just request for a regular sewing table which serves my needs.

Do you quilters find an airlift table really useful? The worst thing is to spend money to customise one and realise thereafter that you don't really need it.
