Hi Clay, I saw -- thanks. I refactored it, and it's simple to carry now. I've posted an update with a pic, I think you are receiving those.

I have refactored the prototype, and it's easy to carry now.

I had a breakthrough today about how to make this table fully portable. It can be assembled really quickly without tools. I have documented the changes in the campaign page in the subsection "Planned Improvements in Portability".

I've made a plan for portability improvements. See "Planned Improvements in Portability" on the campaign page (it has diagrams)

I came up with an idea of how to make it portable, and documented it on the campaign page. See section "Portability improvements."

Also, you can just buy the fabric shade -- it's Pixel Sunscreen, by company Think Tank. You can find it on Amazon.

Interesting idea. How do you prevent the music stand from tipping from wind? I thought of something like this, but thought that the stands would be too heavy to carry around, if they would large enough to be stable enough. Also, the stands

Guys, if I get the funding, I'll make it better before I put into production (more portable, etc.) I'll do some more R&D and tinkering with it. I'll probably also hire a mechanical engineer to consult me. But it does the

I'll only work on V2 of this after I get some funding through a campaign. Why? I'm a coder by trade. I'm not going to gamble with R&D on the table concept, if I have to bootstrap it on my own. If I get the funding, I&#x27

First, it gets cold to work sitting if it's Spring time (15 degrees Celcius). Is this case, only working standing keeps you warm enough, since the blood is circulating. (In the hot summer, you could work sitting in a shade of a tree.)

This is not a problem if you cowork with someone. But it's not the case for me, so planning ahead about the bathroom is the most critical deciding factor for where I'm going to work. I try to find a spot that either has a real toi

It takes me about 10 minutes, and it's complicated the first few times. I got a hang of it now. The trick is to hold the mounting-bar and the belt in one grip by the right hand, while you tighten the belt with the left. I tighten loo

People tried this, it's the most well known way. I haven't tried it, but I suspect that it doesn't work well. Why? There's no existing product on the market, despite the fact that it's a well known method. My guess

You can't work on a regular table (like a church table) in a standing position. On a cloudy spring day, it's too cold to sit. You have to work standing, to keep the blood flowing. Also, a folding church table is heavy to carry aro

I tried it on about 20 trees, of all shapes I could find here in Vancouver, BC, coding on my laptop for 8 hours a day. No noticeable damage with a naked eye, using the prototype. The bark doesn't get damaged, because once everything is
