Here’s a big pile of plywood. Now I have to do a lot of cutting!
If nothing else, this has made me committed to do this thing... I've spent too much in wood to not. My next goal is to get rid of my current computer (sewing) desk so I can build my sewing table. That should be easy since I'm not building any storage into it.
I am also thinking about my lighting plan. At first I wasn’t going to change anything, just leave the one big fluorescent in the middle of the room. BUT, while I was playing around one day I realized how much shadow I would create while cutting or pressing.
I can do the “easy” thing and have an electrician install two can lights over each table, but my parent’s in law have this cool monorail lighting system that looks like it could be perfect. They went with Techlighting http://techlighting.com/default.asp?page=products&subpage=systemselect&sysid=1
Who wouldn't love a 5" bee light in her sewing room?
Okay, okay, I know a lot of people wouldn't, but I do!!
So, I’m trying to figure out how much light I need. Black says 2500 lumens. I want to use LED lights (yes, I know they’re really expensive, but they are much cooler and better for the environment). This would mean 13 bulbs, assuming a lumen rating of 200/bulb. I’m going to see if I can find a distributor and go see what they think!

Man, those boards look heavy. Hope you've got a good hole saw... grommets grommets grommets!
