A few pictures of my working on my Machine Lift being installed.
Still not finished..... I need to have a custom made plexi glass made for the top of the table. I would like to have it cover the entire table, so I can turn it around and it will cover the hole when I push the machine down for storage or use for a table when cutting fabric.

measure and remeasure

I'm saving up for the lift, they are so expensive

You will really appreciate being to tuck the machine away when you need space. The cabinet I bought for my H/V came with one. It is so awesome! Sure beats taking it off, and lifting it back up.

My brother is a cabinet maker. For years I wanted him to build me a sewing desk. I finally got it last year.....with the machine lift. They are awesome!

wish I had went ahead & had one installed. Great job! maybe make it wide enough to use as a light table too when you put plexi glass in

We got this one from Rockler.com for 159.00. Plus tax. Then there was the cost of the screws, brace board. 20.00
I already had the table. So, your looking at 200.00 for something you've always wanted.
I can't wait to clean up the room so I can use it. I've been pinning and spraying, (taking over my kitchen counter)getting quilts ready to quilt this past week. I have 3 ready, 2 more to go.
