DIY Bed Bookchair - Page 2

I'll be giving this a shot this weekend, but with a twist. I currently use a homemade Reader case made from a hollowed out book. I am going to try and incorporate some of your design into my stand. We'll see if/how it turns out.

Thanks

and no thanks

This is meant to be a DIY. Simple in design, cheap in materials, easy craftsmanship, and will serve you equally well even if your outcome is not perfect. Just give it a try.

And if you tell us how it went and what you like and dislike, I will feel more than rewarded.

A hollowed book? Cool. Ups! Sorry for the rep.

Peto... I just wanted to say this is an awesome looking addition for the reader. I'll have a go at building one myself. Thanks so much for taking the time to draw up the plans and instructions.

Peto · 06-26-2008, 09:59 AM

Thanks for the feedback

Peto · 07-10-2008, 12:02 PM

Spanish version added.

Hola Peto. Muy buen truco. Lo voy a probar muy pronto. Ya te dí las gracias en vagos.es donde paseo de vez en cuando bajo el apodo "Juanitonto", pero dos "gracias" valen más que ningunas... y la verdad que te las mereces

Very cool idea, and generous to offer free instructions. Muchas Gracias!

I might, if there is an interest, consider selling the finished product, but I think that, although time consuming, the process is rather simple and everyone should try to adapt and build his own design having mine for reference.

The construction manual is almost finished. I only wanted to us the base a few days to find what I liked and disliked and then correct it, but happily it performs far better than I expected.

Is there a way to upload a PDF right away?

In this age of "Its all about me" your post was a refreshing surprise.

The gadget is really stable and can be used placed on the lap to read sitting or on top of the stomach when lying.

Forgot to mention it on the video, the top flap is to attach the book light.

Pretty cool. I solved the problem by putting my 505 on a tether made of 1/8" elastic.

The plans have been one year online already and no feedback.

Nobody tried out the concept?

Fledchen · 02-25-2009, 08:47 PM

Oh, nifty!

matanic · 03-05-2009, 11:19 PM

I built one and it is EXCELLENT!! I actually have an EZ Reader (not a PRS-505) and I wanted to be able to keep it in the case (it's a real pain to take the reader out of the case) even when it was in the stand so I modified the size but otherwise followed the plans. Thank you so much for posting this!

Peto · 03-06-2009, 04:58 AM

So happy. Thanks for the feedback.
