Laptop STAND PVC Table

STEP8.JPG

STEP14.JPG
I got this IDEA from other INSTRUCTABLES and applied it for a PVC laptop table stand that I modified for use of how we (my family) mostly use the laptop in a horizontal position.
We know its bad for you body, posture and worse for the laptop because of overheating but we always end up with our legs propped up with an over heated computer on them.
Also this stand is small and versitial depending on where you want to use it.

MATERIALS

MATERIALS.JPG
10 FEET 1/2 INCH PVC TUBE highest grade you can find it wont bend
four 90 degree corners, two 45 degree corners, 5 tees two end covers
two pieces of rope (not shown here) I spent all of 5.00 dls to make two
seperate tables. PAINT not inclued and optional

CUT PVC Pieces As Shown

I have cut and measured my version of this table to my own use
This fits our 13 to 17 inch laptops measurements can be modified to fit you laptop and body size

please note that you should be able to fit under the table as in the picture of the boy, if you need it wider or higher these mesurements wont be of use.

ONCE YOU HAVE PUT ALL TOGETHER
POUND THEM INTO PLACE INTO A SNUG FIT SO YOU CAN CHOSE THE
POSITION THAT FITS YOU BEST
NO GLUE YET

ALL PIECES IN PLACE

Drill HOLES TO FIX POSITIONS

place the table in the positions you want and drill the hole acording
I personally used a hot nail to make the holes.

KNOTS TO HOLD IT IN PLACE

TIE SPECIAL KNOTS.JPG
EXTRA LONG LEGS FOR THIS ANGLE.JPG
I thought these knots would hold any laptop in place. You can tie them around the pipe so the laptop wont slip.

LONG LEGS FOR DIFFERENT POSITIONS

OPTION TWO.JPG

SHORT LEGS EASIER TO STORE

SHORT LEGS FOR THIS ANGLE.JPG

JUST A QUICK NOTE
The TEE I have left on top is optional you may use one sigle pipe there instead I want it there so I can pull the cords thru

OPTION TWO.JPG
This is the version with long legs but the short leg version also works,
Once you have the version you want glue all parts together except for the one you drilled the holes in to adjust to different angles and bottom tee that touches the floor that one I left loose to adjust positions and switch to long and short legs.
If you have no intentions to vary the angles you may glue all of them
