I didn't realize that the above post wasn't posted yet. I previewed it but never followed through with the post. LOL. Well I have modified the trusty plank o' wood and not it's reborn as crude stand. I can now sit on the couch (yes the red one) and steer lap free. HOWEVER there still is some movement that bothers me. I don't expect it to be like a dedicated stand but I believe I can get MORE.
I think if I put flat pieces of wood at the bottom of both legs it may actually stabilize it more. Anyone agree/disagree?
