Description

The wood is reclaimed
Cypress
from an old southern barn.  My design for this table is based on the triangle, the strongest and most stable geometric shape.  Each of the two vertical pieces is joined by mortise and tenon into the horizontal foot and this is reinforced with an Oak dowel to form a triangle.  The work surface is adjustable for level, 15
o
, 30

, 45

, and the support for the surface also forms a triangle.  Looking at the back side you will see two pieces form an “X” between the legs which is just two triangles that overlap.  The front edge of the work surface has two short uprights instead of a full piece like a book stand.  This allows you to access the SD card slot or any other feature on your computer that is located on the front.  The legs do not extend above the work surface so USB ports, AC adapter, and DVD access is not a problem.  The weight distribution is focused on the center of gravity for the unit and because of only two legs, this unit sits firmly on the floor by making contact with all 4 foot pads.
I enjoy having my laptop computer turned on and beside my chair when I am watching TV.  If I get bored I can play card games, check email, and many other time occupying chores.  So I designed a very light weight but sturdy small table for the laptop to be in a perfect place and quickly available, but out of the way.  I use a wireless keyboard and mouse which means I can recline and work with my computer.  This table also is perfect for someone in an office working at a desk and needing the computer but not wanting it to take vital desk space.
This design offers very light weight but an impressively stable unit.

Thanks for looking and good luck…
