My "studio" is actually my living room, which I share with two other adults, 1 Irish Setter, 2 Shar-Peis and 3 cats, so an already small space can get rather crowded! I have a nice jeweler's workbench but it's not really big enough, especially when I need to do some concrete or finishing work that will contaminate my metal clay. I found this sturdy microwave cart at Target. It has a wooden top, one shelf and one flat drawer so with a few modifications it's a perfect mini work bench! I already had the metal drawers (also from Target) which fit almost perfectly, and we added strips of wood around the top to keep stuff from rolling off, screwed in a bench pin, and got a board to put in the flat drawer and now I've a got a compact new workspace! Any metal sawing will still get done on the real bench since it's much more solid, but I can now do my dirty work away from my metal clay area. Yay!

Very cool, Sue! A great thing for anyone having to deal with small spaces.

Very cool. Thanks for posting! I'm definitely going to have to look into getting one of those. My poor family has to try and eat dinner around my jewelry mess on the table. Now, if only we had a Target. . .
I can relate!
My studio is our Dining room ~~
Have a wonderful weekend,

I got a rolling cart from Target with a metal top and I have my kiln on it on top of a marble tile. I can move it anywhere... well not stairs, but it is the best!

Necessity really is the mother of invention, isn't it? Very cool!
