T.V. Tray Topper

My latest creation.
My wife and I sit in our recliners and use a stand for a mini table.
As one might imagine, I have spilled my drink several times.
My plate has no traction on the surface top and has nearly slide off at time.

So, I imagined making a topper to enlarge the surface and hold my mug/glass securely.

This is my solution.

I was going to add sticky dots for traction, similar to what is used in the shower for traction. But so far, it’s not needed.

One off projects like this make a larger machine so much more appealing. HDM might be in the cards for the new year.
I’ll use the TV tray idea to help convince the wife :beers:

Thanks! I will be making “Mama Bear” one soon. Got side tracked on other things.

The topper is small enough to make on a 24" wide CNC.

I didn’t make the original tables, my wife purchased them at a thrift store.

But not on a ~8” wide Nomad :smiling_face_with_tear:

I’m fairly confident this will be the year I get a larger machine. Thank you for reminder to put this on my justification list.

One of my “Wife Would Like This” projects was to use a 24" x 24" slab of walnut to make a heart-shaped cutting board.

“Honey, I’d love to make that for you, but my current machine is just too small.”

Downside is that after I made it, she then asked for a 24" x 24" Christmas Tree Cutting board.
