TV Trays

Post by recurvearcher »

Has anyone made the TV trays from the Shopsmith Hands On (http://www.shopsmithhandson.com/archive ... roject.htm) plans? I was wondering what you thought about the dimensions? I was thinking of making some, but with a breadboard style top.

I just finished this folding stand for my wife to use with her laptop. I considered the Shopsmith plan, but preferred a one-piece top. I copied the basic design of some TV trays we have, but modified it to suit this purpose. Pics not great -- looks much better in real life :)

Neat trays. I can see those getting into the storage compartment in the RV. Those would make great camp ground tables.

Nice table, I made a couple of them only with the two piece top for a night stand by my cot when camping.

Nice tray Kenbu,your wife must be pleased. I think I will follow your lead and copy a tray we have. The HandsOn plans look a bit clunky. Thanks!
