dadmade horizontable

    another crazy dad construction. this time based on my basic concept. y'see, having a fucked up back means drawing can be excruciating at times. one of the few positions that is actually GOOD for my back is laying on my stomach with my back arched (kinda like when you're watching tv on your stomach with your chin in your hands). trouble is, after about 30 minutes your shoulders and neck get exhausted, plus you can't slide huge pieces of paper under yourself like you would under a table, onto your lap. this thing addresses all those concerns. the adjustable chest angle thing supports your shoulders, the padded piping supports your head, and the whole thing is on a superwide frame that's lifted about 1 inch off the ground. BRILLIANT. and for added appeal, mom upholstered all the padding in the same world war II airplane fabric that she made my son's little duvet case out of. no one on earth could guess what this thing is for. AND it's equally good for drawing, and for working on a laptop... (oh, just one minor thing- it doesn't actually... uh... "work"-- because i keep sliding down it and the chest angle needs to be an arch, not just a flat plain. ...but here's the best part: dad will probably keep at it during each yearly visit till it's flawless.)
