Anyway, when I really get into cutting fabric I never want to stop and the next day I often have a dull ache in my lower back. A couple of days ago I spent too much time at my cutting table and starting whining about the ache in my lower back from bending over my table.
DH immediately said, "Well I can fix that - how high do you want your table to be?" Of course, I had no idea how much higher it needed to be but the next day I did some cutting at our kitchen island which is very comfortable height for making pie crust or cookies. I loved it.
So DH got some pvc pipe and figured how long to cut the pieces so that when they hit the turn/support area of the leg there would be enough pvc pipe to raise the table to the same height as the kitchen counter.
I was so excited - I did an immediate happy dance followed by a very big hug and many thank you, thank you, thank yous . . .
DH said I really should thank our youngest son because he had mentioned that many of the people who set up tables for various events in downtown Phoenix have modified their tables in this fashion.
After spending another day with my "new" table I am so delighted and my back is very happy with me.

Yay! That's such a good solution. Congrats! :D
Yay! for DH!
Oh, what a great idea, so simple and so effective! Good job DH and DS for noticing and fixing. :)
I would be worried about the pipes scratching the floor though! I think I would put those little rubber bumpers on the bottom just out of paranoia haha.
