Bouncy Table:

No more bouncy table! It looks like it would collapse, but it's in there nice & tight, and it's not going to move. Sa-weet! Now I can practice FMQ "full throttle" :)

Great solution. Now my DH would have duct taped it all together LOL!

Hahaha~ Awesome!!! whatever it takes to quilt, right? Luv it!

Nan

Okay let me get this straight, if you are innovative and thrifty you might be a redneck? :D!!!

lol,redneck or not that is a great thrifty idea.

Whatever works. :thumbup:

Love solutions that use what you have, means more money for fabric!

Brilliant! Quilters are so creative.
peace

Hope it works! Please becareful that it doesn't fall on you/or your legs! I have laminate floors, so I don't know if the carpet was the problem for you. My DH cut a piece of plywood the size of my table, used the router around the the edges & sanded it ( no splinters)! Mine was trying to sag in the middle, forget using a cutting mat on it, and my machines would dance all over it. When I used my serger, well let's just say "game on."
If yours doesn't work here's a back up plan!
Good Luck!

What ever works!!!!!

HAHAHA glad to know I am not the only one to do this kind of thing. Was wondering though how in the world did you manage without duct tape and velcro?

Necessity is the mother of invention. I love it!

Just an idea, but you could glue all those wood pieces together under the table, if you think they might fall, I say good job solving a problem! I love those good 'ole homemade problem solvers, they don't cost a penny.

You might be a redneck if......

I love it!!!!

That sure looks like something that I would do too. lol I am a great improviser and yes, duck tape fixes a lot of stuff.

Glad you found something that works for you. Go girl with your quilting.

that paints a funny picture. :D

oohhh too funny!! love it

Whatever works for you is what counts!

I recently attended a quilt retreat and one very smart lady brought along bed risers which can be purchased at Walmart. She put them under the legs of the fold away table used for cutting...and it was the PERFECT HEIGHT! Just wanted to pass this along.

Great solution! I would call it the " Jango " table.

Absolutely love it .. DH would of glue, nailed it all together (he might of even of used Duct Tape as well !LOL) Great solution ..

Love this name for it! You really solved your "puzzle"!

absolutely! i am a big proponent for use of duct tape in everything! but it also needs a bit of color... a little bright red duct tape. maybe a touch of yellow here and there?

I love it! Just another great use for milk crates and scrap lumber. I was thinking of having some 4 inch PVC cut to the length of the distance from the floor to the underside of the table... but your solution is more immediate.

I was expecting to see duct tape - I know that is what my hubby would use

that really does not look very safe

How so? I've been under there, and put some good pressure on it, and it's super-tight...it's really not going anywhere, even if I kick it. The weight of the table plus the weight of the machine makes it really tight, and the blocks are very straight...not crooked at all (I had a lot of practice with alphabet blocks when I was a kid...could get them stacked really high before they toppled over :) )

That's what I was going to say: My very own Jenga puzzle! (Is Jango another puzzle like Jenga?)

Now you just need to sew a pretty cover for your makeshift table leg... a quilted cover, of course!! LOL

Never, never underestimate the power of a woman on a "mission". . . . she'll win every time!!!! :D

If hubby has a drill press, I would have him drill holes in each peice of wood except bottem and top, run a dowel through it (wood or metal) and them glue top and bottom to ones below and above it and that would make it more sturdy.

Hey, this isn't just a redneck solution. It's the way my husb. used to fix most things.

lol, I'm in stitches. Coon Ass's do this too.

what would I do with all the stuff I store UNDER my table???

GOOD ONE TEELER. cracked me up. Thanks for the laughter

Creative minds come up with creative solutions!

I agaree with JanRN....just needs duct tape to make official Redneck quality.

TEELER you are so witty. This post has been fun. Some chuckles for the morning. And all the duct tape suggestions. Joannes has printed duct tape, in all sorts of designs so you could really make it special. when there is a will there is a way!!! Nothing is stopping you!!

You are a redneck and you have to be from my neck of the woods!
