I saw a hack about creating a worktable with storage underneath long before I married Mr. Wonderful. I thought it was pretty darned cool, but I didn't have a way to put the thing together. I used a drop leaf cutting table that was small, didn't have any storage, and was a bit wobbly.
Today, a dream came true. I got all the parts and the total cost was less than $400.00. Mr. Wonderful put the thing together for me. I finally have a cutting/work table with storage beneath it. Yahoo! Celebration! Much rejoicing! There is joy in Mudville!
This thing is large. My current cutting mat does not cover the entire work surface. I'm using the additional area to host my cutting rulers and my pattern weights. I've got several cutting mats that I could put around my main mat to extend the cutting area for dressmaking. For quilting, I've got more than enough area to work on.
TLDR: I got a worktable that I've been dreaming about for years. Mr. Wonderful built it for me in one day!
