Thread: Sewing Table - multiple posts

Top marks there Ian!!

I'm glad you did combine those two timbers. They work well together.

Looks fantastic Ian, don't know how I missed your thread before. Great work.

If I had used turned knobs, I would have used Rose She-oak

Sorry to have stuck you with another job, but I'm sure it will just be a small proportion of the list if your boss is anything like mine.....

Cheers,

I understand; the subject is closed. Unless...you print out some colour photographs of the Rose She-Oak knobs and blu-tac them on when alone in the house.

The other photo hasn't helped matters either, thankyou

Cheers,

That is an interesting support for the table. Looks great .You could not have had any discerning buyers on the day .

Peter - one of the things I soon learned making things for craft shows, was it was totally unpredictable. You'd have an item that 3 people would fight over one year, and next year no-one would even stop & look at it! I was just doing it to support our local woodies club, and I only made things that interested me, so if it had to follow me home, it wasn't such a bad thing....

Cheers,

I've revived this thread so I can report that the table finally got its feet & scrotum. I fitted the castors some time ago, but had to wait for LOML to tackle the bag, which she has now done. Did a nice job, and it fitted the opening perfectly, so it was quite an easy job to tack it in place.

It's pretty much just as I imagineed it should be, so all in househod happy, I think...

It looks superb. There's nothing like a neatly pleated scrotum to smarten up the home.

Thank you for the update.

Thanks WW. Due praise to LOML, who did a nice job, but then she's far fussier than I, & knows how to do things to cloth. I would have torn my hair out trying to get it right. I don't like working with fabric - #*@% stuff just won't sit straight & true - wood may move, but not to THAT extent. As you can imagine, upholstery is not my game!

Cheers,
