Last month, I posted a reel about my Free DIY Cutting Table with Batting Roll Storage and it went VIRAL. 1.2 million views y'all!
Many, many people signed up to download the building instructions guide, and there have been some questions. So to answer the most common ones, I've compiled this FAQ page.
I'll add to it if there are any more common questions coming up, so feel free to ask questions in the comments!
Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the table dimensions? The top is 48" wide by 72" long. It's 33.5" tall. For reference, standard kitchen countertop height is 36". I find that having the table just a couple inches shorter than that gives me more ability to press down when rotary cutting.
- Can I make it taller or add wheels? You can certainly modify the design to your liking, but I do not have instructions to make it taller or to add wheels. If you make changes, I'd love to hear how it goes!
- Where do you get the metal base for the shelves? The shelf linked in the guide comes with the metal base. It's important to use this shelf to get the right table height.
- Can I use the batting end for a desk instead? Yes! Follow the directions for the support legs, but just skip drilling the hole for the batting rod, and pull up a tall chair!

Love this practical design. I have a table that’s working for me but what I really need is an ironing station. Do I remember that you are in the process of making one? If so, I can’t wait until you share it!
