LAPTOP STAND

A light weight, simple and practical piece of office/ studio furniture.

Dovetails join the most visible parts of the frame together, with half lap joins on the structural underside.

The main issue with my design was that it required one of the dovetail joins to be made across the grain instead of with the grain. This resulted in some weak dovetail pins which functioned well but were very delicate.

If I were to redesign this piece I would not include these cross grain dovetails. I would instead swap these dovetails for a rebated tongue and groove join like the one i used on the rear section of the frame
