I had a problem. I got a job to build a sewing machine cabinet with a drop lift. However all I could find when I looked for a lift online was a full lift that drop the machine all the way into to cab… not what my client wanted. Plus they where kinda spendy.

Very nice…..
I am curious if the user will “really” raise and lower this machine….
I know that I will NOT get down there to turn the handle.
Here is what the fly on the wall heard….
( HONEY, I need your help…...
OK just a minute….. I am watching (insert your favorite sport….)
I am trying to turn this wooden handle to put away the sewing machine….
About now “wifey” is on hands and knees, .....
Guess what part of her body “husband” see first !
Happy Fathers Day,
Have your say...
