Yet another laptop stand

This is a lightweight, mobile stand that was quick and easy to build, and uses cheap components. (I had all of the parts laying around the garage already.)

it offers excellent airflow and is relatively sturdy for the lightweight components used, due to the overall shape.

What you will need:

Tin Snips, or other heavy duty scissors

Tape measure

Sharpie

Hardware cloth

Twist tie

rubber edge molding (be creative if you don't have any)

Step 1: Measure for that 'custom' fit

Measure the width or your laptop, this ensures a 'custom' fit. My laptop was just about 10 inches, which makes for some easy math.

Multiply your laptop's width x 3.14 (pi, to more significant digits than is needed). This is how long your strip needs to be. If you don't want to do all that math, you can just eyeball it, but you may lose that 'custom' fit.

Example: Mine was 10" x 3.14 = 31.4"

Love the KISS method (keep it simple s.......)

Clever idea for a good utilitarian stand for the workbench, but not on the sofa, at a desk or in bed. Thanks
