I bought that lapdesk a while back, except the one I bought had some god awful zebra stripe pattern. Look what I did to it.
Pretty simple mod. I just put a quick sand on it, gave it a coat of spray adhesive, used a ruler to pull a poster over the glued surface, ran a nail file around the edges to get a perfect score to trim the excess by, and then put about 5 coats of clear coat over it. I wish I would have offset the poster a little bit more though. The border at the top isn't very pro. I actually made this almost a year ago, It has held up very well. I was revisiting old emails between my father and I, came across the one about this lapdesk and decided to share it with you guys/girls. For anyone that doesn't know, it's a map from the hobbit or maybe lord of the rings (same diff)
I utilize it like below. With my feet propped up and this in my lap it is very comfortable. The way I have my wrist supported to use my mouse is actually also very comfortable. My mouse sensitivity is set very high so I don't need much room to move the mouse around. Also due to all the clear coats I put on this thing, the mouse practically floats on this surface.
I don't have whore lights in my house, lol. The redness is a reflection off a heavily laquered redwood partition, due to a lamp that is directly in front of it. At least that's my guess. It isn't red in here at all.
