I've just started woodworking and would like to eventually do projects like this one. What kind of equipment could I get by using to put something like this together. FYI - Space is a constraint.

Can you provide a bill of materials, especially the lift mechanism, and sources of supply. Thanks! Dan Giles Charlotte, NC Hi, I am impressed by this sewing table project and would like to

Turned into a furniture piece. I was wondering if you were able to purchase the lift wholesale. I purchase from Lee Valley or Rockler but that's still a long ay from wholesale. Can you help?

Just shoot me an email and I can take care of you:) ron@rjoneswoodworks.com Thanks, Ron Tim,

I was looking for some plans to build a sewing table for my older sister who makes beautiful clothing. I would love to see yours and know where you got the hardware for it (Particularly the machine lift). Again, nicely done! Pat Nice!

Due to the tight radii I had no choice but to go as thin as possible on the laminations in order to help eliminate the purple heart (PH) breaking. I tried going even 1/16” but even that seemed to be prone to splitting. The jig actually had an added benefit of creating a 1”x 1/8” piece from which I could rip (4) 1/4” strips. So from one glue up I created all 4 corners:) Once the groove was cut for the PH these pieces dropped right in like they grew there:) Ron Tim,

I am curious thought the secondary color you used for a border on the top. From what I can tell from the pics, you molded it before you attached it to the top? I assume you achieved this by cutting the border strip into veneer thin pieces than gluing and placing in your gig? You find this way better than just going straight to the top itself? Very Nice!

Mike, If your wife sews, quilts or embroiders build her one of these and she will love you forever! Probably one of the most important things to keep in mind is not to leave anything for fabric to catch on hence the corners with large radii Pops, The top does in fact lift out. It sits on a thin aluminum rail on each side and was actually pretty easy to fit in there. Jorden, I am pretty sure once you get a drum sander you will wonder how you ever got along without it! I use mine on almost every project now! Just do it man!! Ron Thanks for the nice words guys!
