Corner Sewing Bench Part 1

Hi there everyone, I am back with another DIY project to share with you all. I have been absent for a bit because I had a birthday last weekend and my non sewing/blogging friend Carole came to visit from Narromine. She is a great dining out, shopping, wine drinking friend though so we had a great weekend. My last before I started back work for the year. I manage a school fees office so am lucky enough to get all the school holidays off. However the start of year is always very busy so February tends to be a blur. On the way through Dubbo Carole picked up some flat pack units for me that I am going to use for the base of my corner sewing bench in the Studio....

Jacky Mister surprised me with a circular saw for my
 birthday so I am excited to use it for this project....
Eek or Yay! I haven't decided what it will be yet!!!

 

Wednesday night after work, although tired I felt like
something to do that did not involve sitting at a desk
so I decided to start with the open shelf unit first and surprisingly
 it went together without a problem at all.
I love it when things just work, Don't you?

The same night I unpacked the first drawer unit and
started putting it together. This had a lot more parts but
also was a breeze to put together. The instructions only have
 diagrams and no words but are pretty straight forward...

 

I got to this stage and it was off to bed for me....

Thursday evening I finished the first drawer unit off and
was feeling pretty chuffed with the results. With each drawer
 I made came the prospect of more storage in my Studio...
I will jazz them up a bit with some new
knobs when it is all together...

So of cause by then I was on a roll and by midnight I had
 the 3 units constructed. I will be taking them out to the
Studio to work out the best layout and then the fun part will
 begin, cutting the bench tops with my new circular saw....Yay!

Stay tuned for part 2 where I can reveal my new corner bench

and hopefully I will still have 8 fingers and 2 thumbs....Ha Ha!

Until next time, Happy Stitching
