I must have too much spare time on my hands...

[synkrotron]

Well... I am out of work. And I wanted to improve the situation in our motorhome for when I take my laptop and music stuff with me. The simple little round table at the front of the van was okay but didn't lend itself to setting up the keyboard controller as well.

So, I modelled myself a "Music Station," using some 3D CAD software:-














































All I have to do now is get out there and start using it..............

That is impressive!

[synkrotron]

Ta! :D

Kept me busy for a week... Started making it Sunday morning.

That's a very creative solution, not a design most people would think of. Is this your work at all, product design?

[synkrotron]

Yeah, I'm a designer by day (when I'm in work) but I am a designer of chemical plant, specialising in pipework:-



But I've always designed stuff, from an early age really...

I can't think of anything that is more "industrial" and "sci-fi" at the same time. Really fascinating.

Wow, bet that old Windows 'pipe' screensaver gave you nightmares.

Obviously this design is totally centred on your needs but I bet something along these lines but more universal could be popular, lots of custom studio desks out there but nothing this compact for small flats etc.

Dude, that is one seriously impressive piece of work!!!! :thumbsup::rockon:

Haha! I suppose ;) It has certainly paid the bills over the years... Just need the price of oil to stabilise a bit so peeps start investing again. I've never known things to be so bad in my line of work right now...

Ha! Yeah, I hated that screensaver LOL!

Problem with this design is, it is totally centred, in more ways than one, around the tube that sticks into the floor. I think that to move away from that and come up with a conventional support would not work very well and be quite unstable, unless it is made to cover a large-ish floor area, at least as big as a normal keyboard stand.


Like most stuff I make at home, though, it's built to suit a particular purpose that doesn't always work elsewhere...

Thanks Ed :D

That is a very nice piece of work ... you definitely have too much time on your hands!!
