Workbench Laptop Stand from Old Shutters

Desk space is important. I needed to get my laptop out of my way and still be able to look at it while doing projects. I used some old shutters I had laying around in the garage and made this laptop stand.

Step 1 Material

I used shutters, like the one pictured, but you could make the same design with 1x2s or something.
I took off the knob and hinges, and knocked out the slats with a rubber mallet.
The pieces of wood pictured are what I cut out to use.

Good re-use! Do you have a separate keyboard or use it as it is? L

Thanks. I use it as it is, because the angle makes it fairly comfortable. Also, I am generally just using it to look at something while building, so I'm usually not typing on it. Almost like a clipboard on the wall.

You'd be using it standing then? Good position, if I had a laptop I'd appreciate this arrangement. L

Generally, or on the stool, which puts me at about the same height.
