So when we were in California on vacation Russell started massaging my foot and I was like "man, what I wouldn't do to have this every day..." And my husband, the sweetest man in the world looked at me and decided then and there that he wanted to give me a massage everyday from then on. Okay, my husband is amazing, I know. So for about a week after our trip he DID give me a massage everyday. But it was making his back hurt pretty badly! So he decided that he needed to make a massage table so he could give me a real massage everyday. Don't get too jealous now, he doesn't still give me a massage EVERY day. But he does give them to me often. So here is the massage table he just up and made. I helped him with parts of it, but it was mostly him. He was pretty proud of himself in the end! :) All we have left to do is add a handle to it so we can carry it like a suitcase when we want to move it!
So to make this table Russell basically just made a table that was plenty long to lay on. He used wooden slabs and hinges. Then we used this super intense spray glue to attach a layer of carpet padding and a layer of medium thickness memory foam bed padding. Then we wrapped a thick vinyl fabric around the top and used a staple gun to attach it to the bottom of the table. We also made a few pockets out of the vinyl and attached it to the bottom and legs of the table. Places to keep our massage book and massage oil. And we have a massage table! Yay! It works fantastically well and is quite comfortable. So definitely look up a basic pattern for the table but the padding is fairly simple and straight forward if you ever wish to make one of these beauties for yourself! :)
that is seriously AMAZING!
