About this deal

I glued them on the first prototype then mechanicaly fastened (bolted some, screwed others) and glued on following models as can be seen in this video: https://youtu. In place of paracord I used Loos Stainless Steel 302/304 Wire Rope Nylon Coated 1/16” OD which I liked much better and rather than hard drive magnets we used several different cup and bar pot magnets and found the CMS Rectangular Pot Magnets worked best in conjunction with 16lb Ceramic Cup Magnets at the bottom (see second video titled DIY Magnetic Laptop Shelf Variations and Improvements…. I need to know the thickness of your board in comparison to the bolts you use so I can size bolts for my application. I like to use these cutting boards because they are light weight, inexpensive, durable, readily available and most of all suite the task perfectly. The Omnishelf is the ultimate magnetic workstation, and the only one of its kind built to give techs a mobile workstation that can accommodate all of their tools, and meet all of their needs.

If you don’t want to, or don’t have time to build your own magnetic laptop shelf / utility shelf, I know of 3 companies that you can purchase a commercial laptop shelf from. Instead of going back to your vehicle to retrieve tools, schematics, or your laptop, why not take it all with you in a portable, sturdy, magnetic workstation? Magnetic Utility Shelf for prints Magnetic Utility Shelf for prints I can’t seem to get the elevator in the background to run!I will explain the science behind the magnet config in a future update but its important to do the magnets exactly as I have, alternating the poles. After using both I preferred the recessed side up to better hold material including hardware, pens , flashlights etc.

This is the only low profile compact folding bracket that I could find that was well built and didn’t have jagged sharp edges. This DIY Compact Portable Magnetic Laptop Shelf (Magnetic Utility Shelf Computer Workstation) was designed to be light and compact for easy transport and use in the elevator industry (IUEC). That is KTFG my initials, not KTFO “Knock That Fool Out” (you may know that as something different but I keep the site child friendly). I have always had deep admiration for people like my supervisor who didn’t need manuals or prints when in the field.Or, do you think there may be an issue with magnetic attraction to the surface due to the additional leverage from the longer board? When troubleshooting an elevator I don’t need the extra aggravation of having to hold the laptop and prints.

Not any more but we have Fabian Bravo the button programming wizard with the tools and the know how. I will make an edit fully explaining the magnetic shielding, concerns etc later today but it’s important to use the magnets I specify and alternate poles. DIY Laptop Shelf Materials List: Paracord, Cutting Boards, Hard Drive Magnets, Piano Hinge, Silicon Glue, *Cup magnets would be a better alternative than hard drive magnets and easier to mount but I have an excess of hard drive magnets and this is just the first prototype. I have no acceptable alternate (I have tried many) and I have not been able to find that hinge anywhere else.

For the other RV windows I just fold the flap up from the outside and place (not tape) magnets on each to hold the flap up either full open (winter), half open (spring, summer) or remove magnets for full closed (when its supper hot). I wanted a Countersunk Flat Head fastener so the machine screws would be flush with top of the board.
