My dad is the coolest ever! I don’t have room at my place to get a real drawing table and Sometimes, drawing directly on my kitchen table was getting rough on my neck and my back. So my dad made me a 26 inches wide table, adjustable that I can put over my kitchen table or on my secondary computer desk in my home office. I can use it for Bristol boards, sketchbooks and even my Tablet PC!
How cool is that!
Check the pictures!
So he made that piece of wood, with 4 different levels (see the holes on the side). He slightly curved in the middle to made the Tablet-PC fit accordingly.
If I want to draw on a card board or a piece of paper. I simply remove the lower support for the PC and I put the paper under the top support.
Now, the top support section (see previous picture) is thinner that the Tablet-PC support. I can use it at the bottom and put a sketchbook on it. If I want, I can also put back the Tablet-PC support on top to put my pens, pencils, etc...
Finally, we used a curtain pole ( you know, a pole where one piece is sliding into another piece) to be able to adjust the angle of the table. We drilled 4 holes and used a pin to adjust the level needed.
So, as I said HOW COOL IS THAT!!!!!!!!
Wheeee!

Okay.. that is AWESOME! Does it slide on the table when you draw? A bit of non-skid fabric underneath would take care of that, if so! I love that it’s big enough to be so very versatile with sizes of paper/bristol AND can hold the laptop. Great job, DAD! (and LUCKY Antoine!)
that’s awesome! Does he want to be my dad too and make me one??
Samantha: I did put a non-skid fabric under. You know that kind of fabric you can use to open jars? I had it at the bottom of a drawer
Jhorsley: He’s mine! Mine!! My prrrrreciousssss!
