Easy Neat Laptop Desk

IMG_8549.jpeg

Here is an easy and convenient laptop desk. I constructed it for my Engineering class, intending to solve a problem that exists in the world. People sit in chairs or sofas and struggle to keep good posture and do work. This project fixes that. With a newly, fresh laptop desk, you can rest your laptop on it and perform work to the maximum efficiency. It can also be used as a table that you can eat on in a comfortable place or rest things on. If you want an easy, small, and convenient desk, you should try building this laptop desk. It only takes 7 steps but can be a lengthy process. Disclaimer: Does not fit all sizes. You must measure your seat length and design the length of the legs based on those measurements.

First, you have to take the 600X20X20 mm | 45 deg end cut Steel Tubes and you must weld them together to create a firm base. In this step, you will use the MIG welder and TIG welder.

Sand the Base Legs

You must use the sander in this step, and when sanding the base tubes, make sure you smooth them down and remove any rough, uneven edges.

Clean Off the Welds

This step is essential to remove all dust and extra particulars that lurk on the final product of it. Also to even out the surface so nothing pokes you or anyone.

Optional: Spray Paint the Base Legs

Optional: By this step, the legs might not be a solid color. So, to avoid that, spray paint the legs with 2 coats of glossy, black spray paint.

Drill a Couple Holes for the Legs

This doesn't always have to be the step you have to do. It depends on how you wish to attach the wood to the legs. I personally just drilled holes for the bolts to attach to it.

Producing and Installing the Wooden Board

Cut your piece of wood to dimensions (300X600X30 mm). After that, sand the board.

Final Product
