I raised my cutting table by purchasing some PVC pipe and cutting it about 8" in length. This raised the table up perfectly and I can cut comfortably standing up. I believe the PVC pipe was the 2-inch size. I learned this trick from all my friends.

It turned out great! You have inspired to fix up my sewing "area". I'm working on it.

It really was a lot of fun. I could hardly sleep at nightthinking about ways to use most of these ideas. My only disappointment is that I really have more space than I have STUFF! :roll: But that just means it's easier to organize and I can shop for more fabric! :thumbup:

I had forgotten I had started this thread! I notice the beginning date is May 28th. The tornado came through June 5, and I had just finished cleaning the carpet and put everything back in a new arrangement. So by the end of August, I was putting the room back together again! Only now, I have new carpet (mocha colored) and freshly painted walls (same color). So the room looks almost the same as it did right before the tornado. (see pics on previous page)
It's good to be back in my home again.

I was noticing also that the post I made on this page was June 5 around 11:00 pm. It was the last thing I did before we ran to the basement when we knew the tornado was coming. The lights went out and we ran!!
I'm so glad that's over.

To make cutting tables higher, you can take empty tomato cans and add sand to it. Then put in empty tuna can to settle the sand. Then you add the legs of your cutting table.
