Laptop/iPad stand

Well, that LCD Wall Bracket I attacked above the Workbench has proven to be virtually useless for checking output from the camcorder when taking videos at any of my machines.

Too far away and having to be double jointed as well as needing a Giraffe's neck.

So, something needed to make like bearable, but what?

Ah, I can use that Sheet Music Stand left over when I half inched the top Holder section to make that Armchair Swivel Holder, that cured my neck/back pain.

The Laptop Platform consists of a piece of MDF of suitable size with Side Stops glued on, bolted onto a T-shaped framework of 20mm sq steel tube, with a stub of 19mm ø MS bar welded on that slides into the top of the Music Stand, once the plastic bung was removed.

This project went together without a single 'Oh bu**ger' much to my surprise, and my stick welding was nigh on perfect to boot, as good as my gas welding, when I tried the 'Push' method.

This was one of those projects that just fall together, where everything fitted and was a pleasure to do.

Geoff - 'Jobs a good 'un' springs to mind

Looks good but can you still read music when you want to play your saxaphone?

Interesting adaptation. I have one inthe workshop for holding plans and notes but keep knocking it over. It works better when on the bench with other clutter holding it upright but I wouldn't risk a laptop on it. So I recommend a nice big lump of concrete cast aroung the feet.

Clive,

Easy, just rest the music against the screen

Bazyl,

The potential for knocking it over, even with the legs splayed out to their maximum, has crossed my mind.

That occurance really would make my day.

I will give your suggestion further thought - Thanks.

Once the floor has been cleared/tidied up, I will have space between the machines to keep it out of 'KnockOver' way.

The tidying up saga has been an ongoing one for years now.

Geoff - Clear one section and it just fills up again.

I have a simple solution. I'm incapable of sight reading all but the simplest of tunes, despite much trying!
