- Hi!
In this video, I show you some table extensions a customer made for me to help me sew his project. They turned out to be really helpful!
Check out my friend Nick Gertsson's new EP, "Beyond Fear Is Beauty." You can find it on Spotify, iTunes and Pandora. Nick is a fabulous guitarist with great "feel" to his playing, if you enjoy instrumental guitar you'll love his work!

Thank you Jason for playing my music on your video.I appreciate it.Love you Brother
I used to sew at an awning shop. Now I have my own industrial machine (JUKI DU-1181N) at home and they send me some smaller jobs. I had a job where I was hemming 10 ft pieces of vinyl. I have a couple of those Walmart 5-6' folding tables. I set one up beside me, and the other out front, much like you did. Fortunately, they are almost exactly the same height as my machine table. Works great! And when I have a lot of fabric to cut out, I slide the table legs into pieces of PVC pipe to bring the table up to a more manageable height, while standing. The legs slide into the pipes until they reach the curve in the legs. Saves on this old back of mine. Thanks for sharing this version of table extensions.
ya that's what I use too those cheap plastic 5' banquet tables
Get a couple of window sash locks for both the end of the infeed and outfeed tables where they connect to your sewing table, mounted to the bottom side.If you have the fixed part of the locks under your sewing table you'll reduce interference at other sewing projects. Then line up the tables and latch them on. You can tune in the height differences with shims to align all the tops.
I have a scrounged four foot long kitchen laminate-covered plywood strip I cut a hole on the right hand end to 'drop in' a Singer 15 or 66 style machine, routed so the deck sits flush. Machine comes out so the special table is easy to store slipped behind other stuff.
That's a great idea, thanks for sharing!
Nice setup.
Wonderful idea. It would help with Quilting for some of us who work it small spaces.
I like the repurposed TV tray idea. Nice.
Hard rock/blues and sewing… you probably know this but in case you don’t: AC/DC got their name from Angus’s and Malcolm’s sister’s sewing machine motor. I have no idea what machine it was, but like to think it was a Singer 201 because, like the band, there’s no bells and whistles, never deviates from its path, is indestructible and some would argue is the best at what it does. Btw, I know you weren’t playing the violin properly, but your very good intonation was shining through. Rock on and sew hard! 🤘
201’s are the best. I try and give my other machines some love but always end up back on the 201.
That's really cool, I grew up on AC/DC but never knew that!
I use an ironing board since I can raise and lower it to the right height. I’ve wanted to add a board for a larger surface area but haven’t really needed to yet.
That's a great idea!
i have a cuttingtable as my side table upagainst my industrial dropfeed straight's table. thats really how a real industrial flatbed workstation would be. nice tables. e, i moved my sewinggear to the living room
I used to have Jackson RR24M, your white Dinky with the maple fretboard reminds me of that guitar. I miss electric guitar sometimes.
That Dinky has gone through quite a facelift, hopefully to be revealed in a future video whenever I finish wiring it. It was a literal basket case, completely in pieces. I'm looking forward to finally playing it! (That footage is actually 5 years old, I still have't played the thing lol!)
@@thejasonofalltrades do a trade related video on the dinky 😜
That is a pretty cool and inexpensive idea. I have several folding tables that I use as well as several height adjustable sawhorses that I use with plywood. The only problem with using the plywood is that it tends to disappear. Yup, I use it to build something else. The foam board is a great idea that would solve my problem of using up the plywood. The foam board is very light and plenty strong enough to support fabric. Thanks for the idea. I had not even thought about using foam board.
I live, and sew, in 540 sq/ft I use two generic folding (legs only) tables. All four industrials are adjusted to the same height as the tables. When the tables are stowed they only take up about 4 1/2" of space. Oh, and I get my WorkerB motor this afternoon, it's in the post office. YVR
Nice idea. But also difficult to store if you don't have lots of space.
In my case when sewing sails (repairs that is), sail socks, covers, I sit in the floor.
Have you seen any sail loft? how they place the machines in wells on a deck? That's the dream 😁
Thanks, Carlos
Yes, sail lofts are incredible! I used to work for an awning shop, we had a table about the size of a tennis court with several machines built in.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
You could try using folding table leg brackets to modify in some way.
Wall paper pasting tables would be an alternative
Interesting!
Often these tables have a drawer on the left side. Then removing the drawer the drawer slides could be used to stabilise the extensions by attaching aluminum sheets to them that fit into the drawer slides.
I like that idea!
In case I may have missed it, what material is the tops made of? I would suggest maybe a couple of well placed doll rods/metal pins to attach the extensions to your existing set up. Then you can attach/detach without tools?
Like the idea, thanks for sharing…
I failed to mention the tops, I think they're just some thin (1/4"?) plywood. He painted them before he delivered them. But pretty much any plywood-like material would probably work.
Thanks!
@@thejasonofalltrades Looked like a hollow-core door sawn in half, tops for two tables that way... looked like the cutout for a hinge plate on the one view which made me think it was a repurosed door.
What kind of sewing table do you use for your LSZ-1?
Hi!
It's a Sailrite "industrial style table for Ultrafeeds." It's perfect for Ultrafeed-style machines, and will work with many vintage household machines as well (I use it for my Singer 201s fairly often).
Thanks for watching!
Progress not perfection.
