THis is wonderful—and what a surprise when I saw the back compartment!!

Reclaimed wood as well. VERY nice.

Nice style Dale. Sounds like you better make another one quickly. I am with Debbie, I like that back compartment.

Thanks for your comments

Bill, she had a chance to have it. When I finished it I asked what I should do with it. She was the one that suggested using it as a present. So I don’t feel bad (Okay, Maybe I do just a little. If I can find some more wood like I used for the top I’ll build her one.)

Great project. Beautiful wood. And the recycled thing makes it just that much better. Dale, thanks for letting us see it.

Kinda looks like the old military type desks. Very pretty wood. jockmike

Very good idea and execution. Adding some sort of bottom slider and maybe a foam pad for friction to it would permit using it as a laptop desk with a Jakes Chair.

I’m thinking I LIKE LJ!

This is a great lap desk – I’ve always wanted to make one! Just last night a lap desk was in my head!

Those are great! I made one for my daughter a few years back. They are very useful to have around.

After seeing this this morning I really wanted the function of this at the bench for planning today, or on the couch, or in bed, o at the kitchen table, or…

I drew up plans for one of these last year. Just have to say again: this is a great lap desk!

BillinDetroit, this would most certainly work great with a Jakes Chair. I’d never even given that a thought.

It’s great LJ emails you when things get posted. I’ve been busy with all kinds of projects, and although I’ve long on, on a regular basis I hadn’t realized how long it had been since I had commented on anything. There have been some great projects, and blogs. There’s a lot of talent here, keep posting

I am glad this popped up on the shuffle! I missed this one. I like the figure . . . interesting treasure from a pallet!
