Another project completed and set up

[Leon]

3 weeks after buying the materials for the sewing desk it is complete and ready for my wife to clutter up. ;~)

The only thing real fancy is the joinery, which you cannot see, and the soft close 24" full extension soft close drawer slides.

The desk top is approximately 97" x 30" total. Because of the shorter

8' ceilings and hair pin turn at the top of the stairs I felt it best to make the top into two sections, split in half front to back. The gap is hardly noticeable. Two draw latches on the bottom and 5 Domino tenons, on the mating edges of the tops hold the halves together and in registration to each other. The front and back apron/bridges are attached to the end cabinets with 5/16" bolts threaded into eight threaded inserts on the sides of both cabinets.

Nicely engineered and flawlessly executed. I really like the job you did on the top.

Well done, all 'round, by Bubba Da Vinci. ;)

[woodchucker]

Nice, so I guess you had no problem then with the saw stop ... she's got you beat on those two tiny machines.. Your big iron at least has some mass... :-)

Nice work.

Gorgeous as usual! Those sewing machines are a lot like woodworking tools and musical instruments. You can *really* tell the difference in quality and performance in the expensive ones.

[Ed Pawlowski]

Nice. I was able to peek without my wife seeing it. She only has one Viking machine.

[Leon]

Thank you. On the opposite side of the room is her "long arm" machine. It sits in the two similar cabinets that I built just before Christmas last year, painted the same mint green color. That machine is worth more than double the two machines pictured in today's pictures.

[Leon]

Thank you, thank you da' Bubba Brother!

[Leon]

Thank you. Yeah they go and go and go and need little attention.

[Leon]

Thank you Ed. Your wife only has one Now. :-). That will probably change. LOL

Thank you John, My wife agrees, the layout was her idea. ;~)

[dadiOH]

Nice job as always. Bet you are in like Flynn with ther missus, huh :)

[G. Ross]

Super Job! I know she is happy with it. What is the charge for all that? Is she gonna make you a custom quilted cover for the SawStop?

[Leon]

Thank you! Yeah I need to take advantage soon though. LOL

[Leon]

Thank you. The quilt idea for the tools is not a bad idea. ;~)

[pastedavid]

Has that machine on the right got an ignition key?!

:-)

[Leon]

LOL No, that is a dongle.

[pastedavid]

Ha! I was gonna say...!

[Leon]

Well, actually it almost acts like an ignition key. There are procedures that you can't do unless it is plugged in.

A dongle that can connect to what? A computer, some other accessory or maybe something else?
