Do you have a "cutting station"?

No, but I will someday! Right now I use our DR table. When we move to a townhouse, a dedicated craft room is my non-negotiable item.

I wish. I barely have space for my trimmer on my desk these days. The die cutter lives on a low shelf behind me and usually gets used on the floor. And I have to clear off my desk to use my electronic cutter. My space is not one to emulate! The dream would be to have a counter that runs along a wall (if I had a wall) where all those machines could live with all their accessories right by them.

No. I have a space for my paper trimmer behind me, but you are sure giving me some ideas. I have a couple of pieces of furniture available to me that might work.

I wish!!

I would use my ZipeMate so much more if I had a dedicated space to set it up, with dies and embossing folders.

I don't have the room to do it, though.

My floor. My floor is my cutting station. To be fair, I don't have enough space for all of my cutting machines in one station.

Yes in my workroom. My studio is my daughter's old room. It has a very large l-shaped walk-in so I have made that my workroom. I love it! Here is a photo of part of it. It keep it on the B&W table. I have a couple of trimmers so I switch out depending on what I am trimming.

I have a bar height square table ( maple legs and the top is stainless steel wrapped. It holds my vagabond as well a box with my dies. I also have tension rods between the legs. These rods hold bags of excess die cuts.My husband added a shelf across the bottom supports and the various vagabond cutting plates, etc sit down there. I prefer the taller table when using the vagabond.

Cutting board slides onto the shelf under my desk and is easy to pull out to use.

No specific product I can link to, but I have seen some people use a rolling cart that fits under their desk to hold a die cutting station. I think some are two shelves with different machines on each shelf and others may have a die cutting machine on top and a drawer below for the dies and accessories.

Yes, I do. I have an old microwave table that I use. It’s nice and sturdy and a good height. My space is too smal in the Belgian house, so I just use my table. I have a bar height dining table in the center of the room that works well.

I am lucky enough to have a dedicated work room which means I have

Well, not exactly. I’m not really a station kinda crafter. I find that when I have to get up & go get/use something I often loose interest or focus. I’ll find another way because I’m lazy or I’ll go to get/use/do the other thing and not make it back to my desk because something else called my attention. When my stuff was stored in multiple places in my last home, I’d go to use it and then get distracted by petty unfun things like laundry or cleaning. Or on my way by someone would determine I wasn’t busy and assign me something to do and crafting would be over. So my habit became to not leave my desk so I wouldn’t appear unbusy. Now that that is not an issue anymore, but the habit seems set from the past and I want everything right there, an arms reach away. Issue is my desk is not big enough. 😉

My cameo is on a shelf with my computer. I find I use it more than I used to. I’d probably use it even more if it was wireless or worked with my phone or tablet. But it’s a chair slide away so it works.

My large diecut machine is on a wheeled cart under my desk if I need it I pull it out. My mini diecut machine is on the side of my desk I use it every day that I craft. My trimmers are also within reach.

Punches are an issue they are in another room in a closet - but thankfully not up or down a flight of stairs ( which really makes me loose focus haha ) hopefully next apartment there’ll be room to have them in the same room.

I have this small Ikea kitchen island in the middle of my room:

I put my Gemini Jr on the top with a small interdesign bin beside it for the dies that I have to put away properly, plus it holds my release paper and extra cutting plates, etc.

Then I have my dies in 2 Interdesign bins on the shelf underneath.

I can reach it from my desk if I swivel my chair, so its really handy.

I bought some industrial tables from Home Depot and set them up around the perimeter of my craft room. One table is the 6 foot table and I do all my inking, painting basically wet stuff there. I have those small chrome industrial racks that I got at Walmart and sit on top of the table. They hold all my inks, spinner racks, watercolors, brushes etc. There is enough room to hold my glass media mat and small media mat. My die cut table is a 4 ft industrial table from Home Depot and holds my Vagabond and two paper trays of various papers. I have another 4 ft table that forms an L shape and that is where I put all my die cuts and cards and other items together. It stays clean because the ink table is across the room. So those are my stations for work. Then I have the industrial chrome rolling racks that hold all my craft things! Hope that this makes sense!

I’m in the middle of a move, and my next room will have a die cut station. Specifically for my vagabond and cricut, with a magnetic board on the wall in front of it so it’s in my face! I can’t wait. I already have visions of what it will look like.

Right now my vagabond is on a stand up station, which I love...but I crafted at a sit-down station across the room. Yep I’m over the up and down. My new room main crafting station will be standing as well. Except for a comfy chair in a section of room, it will be a standing room only.
