Hydraulic Lift table clearance

[BethDurand]

So that no one else makes the same mistakes I do, let me remind you to check that you're not going to knock anything over when you are lowering your table with the hydraulic lift.  This morning, I was blissfully lowering away to use my saddle stool, not attending to what was at the opposite end of the table.  CRASH!!

There went the plastic rolling drawer cart that holds all my stuff next to my machine.  3 magnetic pincushions, one plastic lidded container of sharps (old needles, pins, etc.  The lid didn't stay on), glass of water, much of the contents of the top drawer which also caught about 1/2 of the water remaining in the glass.  At least I didn't spill the coffee which was in front on the machine, in easy reach for when I was quilting.  My lovely warm furry slipper caught a good portion of the water, so that's on the shoe dryer now.  And God said "I told you to stop quilting and get ready for work!"

LOL, Beth!  Been there, done that, got the t-shirt!  I have lowered my table onto my UPS, saddle stool, wooden box full of CL boards, etc.  Easy enough to do!  My items are all on rollers, so I have now locked the casters and double check clearance before lowering the table!

Most of the things under my machine are lower than the lowest lift.

Occasionally the trolleys from the front of the machine take a walk on the wild side,  they had soft stuff stored on top so the table gets skewiff!

I don't have the luxury of the hydraulic lift and feel sorry for myself as a result ...but I'd be one to send everything flying... I do a pretty good job on a regular basis...lol
