    Default Listings like this make me wish I owned a truck!

    I don't know why I'm always trolling Craigslist.... I have no way of transporting this, but doesn't it look awesome? Maybe not the machine, but this table... I've never seen anything like it.

    But, where would your legs go? I can't see how you'd be able to get under the machine properly?

    I thought the same thing-- where would I put my knees? Then I thought that maybe it was a repurposed stereo cabinet.

    lately I have seen a few cabinets that are kinda like that , where it's a full size top that flips open but those flip to the back, when close you can see there isn't any legs to support that top, so what keeps it from tipping over ,,

    I have one single ( hall) cab thats needs a 40 lb weight on the right side to balance it out

    Wonder since it has the foot pedal if they were just using it for quilting and would stand up as they moved the quilt ?

    What else can you do with an old stereo cabinet??? I'd like it for a cutting table if I put some supports under that part of the table that flips open and the machine wasn't there. I have to have a place for my knees!
