My new cutting table
 

I made a base using 2 x 4's and locking casters. Then I put my old jetmax cubes on them leaving the center open for mats, rulers and baskets of cutting stuff (templates, etc). I used the top from my old cutting table (this one: http://www.sewnblog.com/wp-content/u...10_4511064.jpg ). If it proves to be too bendy I'll get a 3/4" piece of plywood to replace it. I can't wait to cut something on it! (please ignore the horrible mess around it. I'm still organizing). I still need to add painted trim to the bottom edges to cover the sides of the 2 x 4's.

btw it is 34.5 inches to the top surface. If it ends up being too tall for me, I can remove the top cubes and put something else there (probably 2 x 4 braces far enough apart to allow baskets in between).

That is a wonderful cutting table! Kudos to you for making it yourself.

Beautiful! Even your mess has the seeds of a great quilting room. Enjoy!

looks great,nice room

Oh, that is awesome! I had some of those years ago when I was into paper crafts - stamping, card making and the like. Never gave using them that way a thought. It'd be great for most any kind of craft - lots of storage as well as a nice work surface.

Great idea, thank you for sharing.

NICE... I want one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that is so awesome !!

Terrific job & fantastic table. Wish I had one too.

best part....you can walk around it....

Very nice!!!!

That is a wonderful cutting table all of that storage and so well organized you will love it.

Suffering from cutting table envy here. Love yours.

Could you make one for me too please? Love all the drawers and center open area ... best cutting table I've seen in a long time!

You did a fabulous job on your table.

It looks great Gale. Way to go!

You did a stupendous job - congratulations!

I like that! My neighbor needs a cutting table I need to show this to her husband.

That looks so efficient...enjoy.

great cutting ctr wish I had one

Very nice - thanks for sharing.

Great job on the table! :)

Great table!

Wow! What a great cutting table! You've given yourself some great storage.

Wow, wish I had room for something like that!

Thanks for sharing your new cutting center! I have that table and it is wobbly after so much use over lots of years. I may need to repurpose it too.

OMG I love it!!

Isn't it great to have all the storage underneath covered and organized?? I did almost the same thing, went to habitat for humanity store and bought bottom kitchen cupboards. They were from a apartment replacing theirs so they all match. I have two on each side and a double on the front. The drawers are great for cutters ect. The huge cutting area is wonderful!

wow, that is really nice.

Where did you find your jetmax cubbies Tinker

I bought most of them at Michaels but now they are slightly different and called Recollections. They seem to fit together fine though, because I just bought a few more and put them in where the empty areas are (when pressing hard the middle of the tabletop would kind of sink down a little). I also bought some at Target, originally, but I don't think they sell them anymore. I think I got a few at Hobby Lobby too. Michaels puts them on sale often. I bought them all when they were 50% off.

great table

Looks very nice.

That's one awesome cutting table. I wish I had something like that. You did a fantastic job on it.
