The studio is coming along nicely. I’ve been working on getting my cutting table done. It’s 60″ x 40″ so it will fit a whole yard of fabric nicely.
Home Depot will make the first 2 cuts free, this gentleman was so helpful! Plus I kept the salvage pieces for future projects.
It’s a piece of 3/4″ Radiata Pine Plywood, the same as I used for the workstation desk top, but this piece for some reason was a bit more finicky and was harder to work with.
It took me 2 coats of stain and I was doing it outside in 40 degree weather. I know, I should’ve just done it in the basement because it took FOUR days for the top coat of stain to dry even after Josh and I moved it inside after day 2. And even then I couldn’t wait so I sanded and sealed it when it was a bit tacky in one corner. I used Feed-n-Wax as the sealant because I like the natural finish better than polyurethane (and it smells better). And I’m really impatient and couldn’t wait to get it into the studio space.
The table top sits on these two trestle legs from Ikea. The trestle legs are height adjustable which will be prefect for when I’m teaching a kids’ sewing class. I haven’t attached it yet, but I will do it in the near future.
