Don't be jealous, but...

Saturday was a busy day, with baseball and cleaning and all that other Saturday stuff. Henry mentioned last week that he thought he had some materials he could use for my last project in the den, the craft table. I figured that he'd get to it at some point, but I didn't think it would be this soon. We still have a few things to do to it, but here it is.

Yeah, yeah, there's still alot of junk under it, but most of that will go as soon as we have the rummage sale.

Better than 2 card tables, huh? This is my favorite feature of it.

Yep, that's a groove to put your scissors in when you cut fabric. I'm going to use my yard stick to mark measurements right on the table. The whole table is on hinges attached to a cleat on the wall. Eventually a fouton will live under the table and when we have guests, the table will simply fold up out of the way (the legs fold down too). The table is at a height just taller than my counter, I think it's at 37 1/2 inches. I wanted it at this height to avoid stooping when I work. I can't work sitting down, I have to be up over the project. If I ever decide I want to sit, we know how to build bar stools. :) The table is 29 inches deep with a 1 inch gap at the back to allow folding. It was originally deeper, but then I realized that I couldn't reach my tools on the wall above the table so he cut it a bit shorter. Unfortunately, when we have company I will have to take everything off the wall to allow the folding. We have an eventual plan to solve that problem, but that's another issue for another day. Until then, I'm thrilled with my new table.
