A few days ago we were discussing lap top computer mounts on the forum. Steve Reigle discussed one he had made from a piece of wood. I had messed around with a couple designs made from PVC and wood, but never did like them. When I saw what Steve had done, I liked it except the lap top was fixed and didn't swivel. I told Steve I was going to try and improve on his idea.
I came up with the idea of using a lazy susan bearing between the length of wood in Steve's design with another piece of wood attached to the lazy susan bearing for the lap top. This gives a swiveling capability to Steve's design. Since the mount would block off my console coffee cup holder I also moved it to the top of the mount. Both the coffee cup holder and lap top are velcroed to the wood.
I used some small bungee cords and eyelets to attach the mount to the console between the seats, It works great in my 2002 dura max.
I use a picnic table table cloth holder as a shim that keeps the lap top fixed in position once you swivel it to he position you want it in.
I sanded the edges of the wood and will varnish them later. I used a 4 inch lazy susan bearing i found at Lowes. The wood is pine.
Pictures show the mount from various angles and I also show my GPS window mount. The GPS connects to the lap top for tracking our route. I have no problems locking in satellites in that GPS position.
I want to also thank Steve for teaching me how to post pictures here.
