    Use knee pads if you have any - or one of those kneeling pads you use for gardening. You have a nice floor to work on!

    Ha Ha I use to do the same thing and cut on the floor when I was young. But at 66 I cannot get up off the floor so easy ha ha Now I use my dining room table. Much easier....

    I used to get down on my hands and knees to mop and wax my floors too. I don't make those silly mistakes anymore.
    Same here... I even used an old toothbrush for all the corners & such. No more!
    I think I would clear off the kitchen counter to cut! I have used the counter before to put my machine on & sew when I couldn't stand to sit because of my back.

    Where there is a will there is a way. Very inventiive, but backbreaking. Hope you replace one or the other soon. What about cutting on your dresser top?

    I just found out about a site called Freecycle, see if your area has one it is all free, maybe you can find a table.

    You best go to Sam's or Cosco and get yourself a table. Save your back and knees please!
