Making a stable table
The Harrison is a machine that is meant to have its own table or be semi-permanently fixed to a work bench with nuts and bolts. Unlike other machines, it can't merely be clamped. If only G-clamps came with a large top arch, instead of a flat top we could do this. SO, in lieu of ruining the table in my workroom, I bought a cast iron bird bath. The base was a bit titchy, so it was then turned upside down. That crown piece was removed, and the piece of chipboard we are using as a temporary table now has even more holes in it.
I still don't think it will be quite stable enough for when I start knitting at speed, plus it is rather short, so I have to find a low chair - I well remember poking myself in the eye the first time I sat down to my Cymbal, so am going to avoid that!
