Cool design idea...

 

Thank you. Can’t claim any credit for originality though, these trays are everywhere these days. But the quality ranges from “mediocre” to “horrendous”. Like this one, for example:

Good job ,but I am not sure what I am looking at....................

It’s a bathtub tray. Books, tablets, phones etc and a glass of wine, all while taking a relaxing dip.

I love it . I knew what it was after a few seconds . Had the wine glass spot figured out immediately,but wasn’t sure about the rest till I seen the iPad .
Nice design Dennis

 

Except maybe when the phone or tablet accidentally falls in the tub......but nice idea.

 

Funny but that is what I was thinking. But I know me LOL Whoops!!! Specially after the wine!!:crying:
Nice design though.

 

At least there isn't a hair dryer...

 

Remember the plug in radio disasters of yester year?

Could have used it in the Good Old Days when the Readers Digest spent many hours drying out. It was the only Mag allowed in the Tub.

 

I use to use a cooler lid, it held my book, coffee, and my cat lol

 

That would be good if the cat was trained to turn the pages.

no the cat did not turn the pages, he just liked to play with the bubbles. I sure miss that cat he was so sweet

 

Project Mk2:

Outtakes:

1) Need better wood, even if it’ll cost a bit more. No pine next time, I’ll go with red oak.

2) I really don’t like the finish this time. Went with stain+poly “Pecan” mix and it doesn’t look very well.

3) Need slight adjustments to the design, such as tapping and dyeing wooden rods and knobs to tighten the supports. Keeping them doweled is not a solution as they’ll get loose overtime.

4) Figured out a way to flatten the mug inlay without having to chisel it out (which was nearly a disaster).

I’m sure I’ll do better next time.

I like it, even the color. I like the way you lined up the knot with the cup recess.
Looks good to me.

Thank you kindly, good sir. I may be overreacting, but that’s the perfectionist in me. I do see the flaws.
