Hey everyone, I'd going to make a lap desk for my wife and I'm looking for some ideas and possible plans. I did find some plans here but I thinking there's some better things I can add to it.
My wife does some laptop work early in the AM before the kids get up and she likes to sit in our living room where the wood stove is. I think a lap desk would really be nice for her.
As much as I would like to surprise her for Christmas, I think its the type of thing that I'd like to really customize for her needs.
I have some really pretty hickory that I'll probably use (we were in Lancaster last weekend looking at some hickory furniture and she really liked it).
If anyone has some pictures and design ideas, it would be much appreciated. One thought would be that even though she's mostly working while the kids are sleeping, it would still be a good idea to design it so she can get up quickly if needed. Perhaps a flat base that would slide under the cushion she's sitting on and have a single support for the desktop...and have that top be able to swivel out of the way?
