Very nice. I’ve always been fascinated by these types of writing desks. A beautiful piece.

that looks great!

curious – in terms of usability – since the desktop space is folded in half – how convenient is it to write on that top? (with the connecting line between the pieces and all)

Wow that is absolutely beautiful. Great work on your interpretation with no working plans. It would be a nice project to work on someday.

Wow! A georgous piece of art! Simply beautiful.

Great job, Ric. That a beautiful piece, well proportioned and executed. You make it hard for me to get my office work done, with my shop only a few steps away. I believe I hear the plaintive call of the lonely power tools.

I have done ALOT of research on writing desks/slopes/laptops and that is a great design and example….great job. I recently built one Writing Slope, on a little bit different design, but the same concept. Thanks for sharing!!

Beautiful laptop. You don’t even have to worry about the network going down. Thank you for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Perfect blend of craftsmanship, finish, and function, oh, and engineering too. I would love to see more details and maybe plans?

PurpLev,
Yes the joints can get in the way if you don’t pay attention, but with heaveir paper – as was used in the mid 1800’s and a fountain (or quill) pen, it doesn’t seem to be much of a proplem as you don’t use much preasure when you write.

I had planed on covering the writing surface with leather, but ran out of money and then time. So it remains a wood surface.
