🧵 Flush-Mount Sewing Table, Checkerboard Cutting Board, Loft Ladder


Obsessed Woodworking


Good morning. In today’s newsletter, there’s a sewing table with built-in storage and a flush-mount machine box, a checkerboard cutting board that’s perfect for first-time builders, and a heavy-duty loft ladder designed for safe attic access. I also included a slab-flattening router sled jig for anyone working with live-edge boards.

As always, please respond with any feedback.
