I'm certainly quilting more now than ever before. Always had the slippage problem with quilts before the cabinet was made. With the machine being flushed with cabinet, the problem was solved.

Thank you for nice compliment.

As much time and patients it has taken him to build the cabinet, he appreciates the comments coming in about his craftsmanship. :-) :-)

You could always make him a batch of fudge, and see if that works. You know how he likes his sweets. :lol: :lol:

I think it's a beautiful piece of furniture too. Too bad I don't have the wall space in the dining or living room. I would love to show it off more.

Outstanding :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks! :)

What a beautiful piece of furniture and looks really sturdy! Do you mind if I ask, is the sewing machine platform hydraulic or just two positions and how is the platform supported?

Thanks

Love it! What a great job he did! Can he be loaned out? (lol, just kidding). My dad is the woodworker, and he is 8 to 10 hours away, not to mention the fact that he has no business around power tools since the macular degeneration hit.

Thanks for sharing!

The sewing cabinet was made from red oak, so it should last for years.

The hydralic lift has two positions, and is attached at the back of the cabinet. The lift was purchased on-line through Rockler.

I've had several quilters ask if he could be loaned out. LOL Sorry, but now that he's retired my "honey do list" to make more furniture, is several pages long.

Hopefully, your dad uses safety measures while around those machines.

KISS that MAN
nice work

Boy, your husband did an beautiful job. You can send him to me, so he can build me one.LOL

Wow! Wow! Wow! What a beautiful cabinet!

That is a beautiful cabinet! I showed the picture to DH, and reminded him that I have a birthday coming up in May. Lots of time to get busy! :lol:

:thumbup: :thumbup: Looks like a real labor of love (the real kind). Congratulations to you and hubby.

Thats great, I bet you have some wonderful pieces in your home :D

very nice :D

love it....

At another quilting web page, I saw a unique storage solution-an old refrigerator!

well, if he needs encouragement, cause my hubby has made me a cabinet for dining room...two doors, with 3 shelves inside...we designed it together...i wanted top shelf, just deep enough for tin foil, plastic wrap, etc. middle shelf has all my cookbooks, knives etc. and bottom is where i keep odds + ends and towels and dish rags. Top is for microwave.
Then he made me a chest for bedroom that I made a cushion for so I could sit/lounge on...always wanted one of those inset window seat thingies.
Well, we don't have the 'inset' part, so we invented a likeness.
anyway' 2 things:
1 - as far as workmanship, your hubby is awesome at it. Like a professional.
2 - My hubby did a great job, for an amateur, a great job. I will never part with either of these pieces of furniture. We did them together and I love them. :D
One day our kids will inherit them. He needs to make at least one more, cause we have 3 girls. So, you tell your hubby that his projects and him are worth their weight in gold and then some!!! :wink:

Why don't you post pictures of your pieces of furniture? I'm sure we would all like to see them too. And, it might give those hubbies an idea or two. Mother's Day is just around the corner. :idea:

i would love to post pics, but 1 - I don't know how, have to get daughter or brother over here,
2- mainly bc my camera is broke at the moment, but I do have a disposable at the moment. i don't buy many of those these days bc of fixed income. can't afford to develop them.
So, I will take some pics and see what I can do about getting them on here. i am very proud of things he has made me, even if it's not a professionals A grade, in my book, A+! :wink:
(maybe would be A to profs, if I hadn't helped, lol) :D

In the Picture section at the very top, I noticed the Admin. posted a "How to Post Pictures". This might help. I just let my DH do the posting for me.
We're anxiously waiting to see what you and your DH have made. :)
