It's a bit like a changing table for a baby, most people scoff at them, but once they've used one, they find how useful they are.
Well this cutting table is like that.
I pulled it out this morning and lifted one leaf up, it fits perfectly in an empty space, and is the perfect size for drafting. So I pulled out my drafting tools, my sleeve cap that I needed to change, and with no bending over, no having to get help to put the trestle table up and taking up space in the lounge(!!!), I changed the cap very easily.
Then I wondered, how on earth did I cope without it. Isn't that silly? 20mins using a new table, and I'm a full convert.
No bending over, no straining, I love it. So does my back, and my head(over 2 weeks of one constant headache now, that goes boom boom boom with bending, argh!).
But truly, if anyone has ever looked at these tables and thought "nah not worth it". You're wrong. LOL
And of course no blog post is complete without a photo.
I saw this painting a few weeks ago, and fell in love. It's massive (1m x 70cm) and had to have it (for an amazing price too. It was a $1 reserve, and didn't get very high)
The photo doesnt do it justice at all.
The more you look at it, the more you see. its so deep, dark, and you kind of walk into it. I can't believe I own it actually, as I turn my head and look at it now!
Very nice photo! It is dark, but then she's walking into the light. It's an interesting contrast. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I understand what you mean about the table. I used to be fine with cutting fabric on the floor. Now that I've been cutting and working off of a giant cutting table at my Grandma's place, I'm darn spoiled!
