Lately I've been doing a greatly increased batch of googling;
printing out a load of pages. I don't really care to do this work at a
table, low, and not angled. So figure a laptop desk will be the answer.
Decided I don't really need, or really want, a conventional type of
laptop desk.

So, started googling. Ran across this, comtemplated it, and even faster
uncontemplated it.

Decided something along these lies will be the way to go. Minus the
fancy, and minus the drawer. I'll use plywood, all glue fastening, and
mak it high enough, and with the top angled at an angle yet to be
determined. I may make an "arm" on each side that will go on each side
of me, so I can rest my arms on them. Either way, this will cover my
needs nicely.
http://www.galleryfurnituredirect.co...es/lapdesk.jpg No, there
won't be any plan. Just take a few measurements, cut, glue. I'll use
glue block, and a couple of braces, under the top. Yes, it'll be plenty
strong enough; I did a stand to hold craft supplies the same way, that's
about 3' tall, and it's held up great.

Sometimes I plan all of these things out in my head, then make it;
other times I've just got an idea of what I want, and just start making
it. One will look like I thought; one will sometimes surprise me - like
my saw stand. Either way, works for me.

I will add my laptop desk, it is an oversize TV tray in style. Made
for her laptop computer.

I'll add mine, it's only for easy chairs though: My lap.

For "normal, everyday use" I use a standard desk.

FWW a few years ago had plans based on Tom Jefferson's (custom) lap-top
desk. Very nice

If I recall right, plans for that, or very similar, ae available,
free, somewhere on-line. Nice, yep, but not what I want.
