DIY PVC Pipe Lapstand (for Cross Stitch) (Closed Captions)

Here is the DIY lap stand I made to hold my cross stitch frames earlier this year. There are many ways that this design can be altered to suit your individual needs; I've seen others convert this to a floor stand as well. Use the video with this description to prepare and assemble your stand. If you have questions feel free to ask and I will do my best to help :)

This stand uses:
1/2 inch pvc pipe (I purchased a 10ft long piece and had a little leftover)
4 "T" connectors
6 "elbow" connectors
hand saw or other tool to cut the pipe

All measurements are approximate {and not perfectly cut :) }
A. 16 inches
B. 6 in (2 pieces)
C. 7.5 in (2 pieces)
D. 2 in (2 pieces)
E. 12 in (2 pieces)
F. 5.5-6 in (2 pieces)
G. 10 in (2 pieces)

Starting with A, add an elbow connector to each end and then connect with the B pieces. Add a T connector to each B piece. Place an elbow connector on one end of each C piece, connect the other end of C to the T connector with B. Place piece D into the middle opening of the T connector on B & C. Add another elbow to piece D and connect to E. Place the middle opening of the remaining T connector on E, then add F & G to the T connector.

You can glue the connections together if you want to, but if you want to keep the tilting action in place do not glue piece D to the "T" connector with B & C.

If you want to shorten the width of the stand to hold a Qsnap, you will need to shorten the length of piece A and then add inches to the D pieces so that the legs have enough room to be on either side of your legs.
