Building a Wood Laptop Table / Stand / Desk Quick DIY Project
Building a Wood Laptop Table / Stand / Desk Quick DIY Project
I felt like a bad infomercial every time I used my laptop on my lap so I had to do something about it. A quick trip to the hardware store and a few bucks later I had the small requirement of parts.
I grabbed a piece of pine 16" x 48" to use as the top. I then used red oak for the legs. I just figured it'd be a nice contrast and I think I was right. The nuts, bolts, and washers were standard 1/4" x #20.
I cut the top down to 13" x 20" and it's working just fine. I definitely could've gone a little wider to get better space for using the mouse, but it'll do for now.
The legs were cut down to 9". Not on the video is me cutting angles at the top of each leg. This was to ensure unrestricted movement of the legs when opening and closing them. You'll see what I mean.
Don't rag on me too hard for using 5-minute epoxy. :) I needed something that would cure quickly and be strong. It really is holding up very nicely. Very strong connection. I did throw some brad nails into the top, through the border. I did this on the inside and at an angle so you wouldn't see them. Double protection from failure in my eyes!
After it was all glued and cured, I simply put the nuts in the predrilled holes and tightened until I had the friction where I wanted.
All in all, an easy but fun little build! And useful!
