3 weeks after buying the materials for the sewing desk it is complete
and ready for my wife to clutter up. ;~)

The only thing real fancy is the joinery, which you cannot see, and
the soft close 24" full extension soft close drawer slides.

The desk top is approximately 97" x 30" total. Because of the
shorter 8' ceilings and hair pin turn at the top of the stairs I felt
it best to make the top into two sections, split in half front to
back. The gap is hardly noticeable. Two draw latches on the bottom
and 5 Domino tenons, on the mating edges of the tops hold the halves
together and in registration to each other. The front and back
apron/bridges are attached to the end cabinets with 5/16" bolts
threaded into eight threaded inserts on the sides of both cabinets.

Gorgeous as usual! Those sewing machines are a lot like woodworking
tools and musical instruments. You can *really* tell the difference in
quality and performance in the expensive ones.
