Yesterday evening we installed my new sewing table in my studio. It has been a long process getting the remains of the oil off the table top. It was getting rolled into sticky messes by the buffing pads and I was getting sick of washing out 6 pads after each new attempt at polishing. So yesterday Sqeze went out and bought a new orbital sander. It was an extra expense to the cost of the table but speeded up the process no end. He first of all sanded off the remaining gunk and then polished the surface using the same machine. I now have a wonderful smooth surface on the table.
Here a couple of photos of the finished table. I must say the machine sits quite a bit lower now and feels quite different when you are sitting behind it. But I sure it will be much more ergonomical to use. I used to get knotted shoulder muscles if I sewed for too long before. I hope that will be a thing of the past with the machine sitting lower now.
Hello it was an absolute pleasure to come across, and read your blog. You really have some interesting information that I will have to share with my wife. If your ever looking for fabrics Lauren & I would be more than willing to help. Just let us know. Have a great evening.
