Silly people to throw that out and lucky you to find it. And you are so smart to figure out how to make it into the perfect sewing table. Great job.

Thank you. I made one once before from one those huge office desks. That one didn't need a table behind it and worked great for quilting on. I posted pictures of the quilts I'm working on at another page. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-43836-1.htm#991688

In the great big desks, you put the board you cut out in the drawer beneath and it raises the sewing machine just right in most. At least mine did, lol.

Loved that you repurposed the desk into something functional. Who says a desk is just a desk???

Awesome! So much more eco friendly than buying a new one - and much prettier to boot! Sweet!
