Edwards Mountain Woodworking
The design for this computer lap desk was inspired by a cardboard hiking shoe box that I used for more than a year as a lap desk for my computer. When the cardboard deteriorated to the point of collapse, I decided to make a computer lap desk of my own. Bill Anderson advised me as to what materials to use. After purchasing the .5 inch birch plywood for the project, I took it to his work shop where he proceeded in a couple hours time, to cut and glue the desk. Although the essential design of the desk is mine, it owes a great deal to Bill's refinements and suggestions. At this point, the desk is his invention as much as mine.
In addition to its convenient size and dimensions, the key features of the desk are the storage area under the top surface and the overhanging edge for mousing. The overhang of the ledge is 4". The dimensions of the box are 5"x12"x14".
