IKEA is one of our favorite places to spend a few hours. We've found chairs, lamps, fabrics, kitchen supplies/equipment, bulbs for the lamps, furniture for the living room and even the bathroom. I made my sewing machine using two of the three-drawer MALM chest of drawers. They are nineteen inches deep, so I had a sheet of 3/4" plywood cut into two pieces eight feet long. I stacked them together to make a table top 1 1/2" thick. The eight-foot length allowed me to spread the chest of drawers apart enough to give me plenty of knee space. [The extra piece of plywood made an eight-foot bookshelf for my older grandson.] The extra bonus using this method is that I have six (!!) drawers for holding my tailor's ham, extra thread and fabric, jars of buttons, etc. I will try to get my daughter to come over with camera and take pictures. The whole thing was less than $200 and I don't even have to think about the table wobbling or "dancing" when I really want to do a fast seam. One warning about IKEA: it is not a fifteen-minute stopover. My wife and I usually plan on at least two to three hours -- and we pretty much know the layout of the store and the shortcuts that will take us where we want to go. Just plunge in and have fun!!!
