I just found you after searching how to do drop cloth curtains…I was sold at “I don’t care if the world thinks it’s ugly, Y’all I will die on my marshmallow recliner” Hilarious! How could I not follow someone with that sense of humor 😂😂😂. Oh yeah and I passed on the curtains.

So, this isn't an organizer, but it is 5 minutes... -ish. I'm no videographer, and I certainly don't have your charming screen presence (shameless buttering up), but if you want to try this, feel free. My reward will be seeing the idea up in lights. Or pixels. Whatever. The project is a laptop lapboard. If you've ever had your laptop come close to burning a hole through your thigh, or left it in the bed and come back to the CPU fan struggling like an aging asthmatic to breathe, you know the value of a light, basically hot pad for your laptop, that promotes ventilation under it. This idea is reminiscent of a sushi chopping board, flipped upside down, with one of the two legs taller than the other, and a bunch of holes in the top (bottom actually) to keep your leg from sweating under it. The shorter leg strip is where you place the front edge of the laptop, the taller is where the back of the laptop is held up off the board for ventilation, and the top has a series of holes (or padded upholstery) So, from the beginning, take a piece of 1/2" plywood for the proof of concept build, cut to a slightly bigger size than the length and width of your laptop, rounded corners, eased edges, whatever you like. Cut two strips from the same material, the first one 3/4" wide, and the length of your laptop left to right. The second one is 1 1/2" wide by the length of your laptop. The 'anti-leg-sweating' holes in the rectangle of plywood could be drilled, but a cooler look could be achieved by running it over your table saw blade, with the blade height 1/16" taller than half the thickness of the plywood, making several parallel cuts from top to bottom on one side, left to right on the other, 1/4" apart, so that where a top and bottom 1/8" saw kerf intersects, there's a hole. You can cut these lines over most of the surface, or in a pattern like several lines in a group that's off-center on one side, a second group off-center on the other side 90 degrees to the first set, so they intersect and form grooves with evenly-spaced holes at the intersections. Play around with the patterns, or abandon the lines and do the holes with drillbits, or even upholstery, whatever you like. Then attach the two strips to one surface the plywood, again the shorter one standing up and about an inch from the edge, so that it's 3/4" tall with the front edge of the laptop butting into it, and the back one 1 1/2" tall, an inch from the edge, with the back of the laptop resting on it, with plenty of ventilation room underneath. That's it. Do with it what you will. Once you get a design you like, make another (or batch them out for sale) using better wood and finish choices. Most of all, have fun with the possibilities. And if you like it, I'd love to see your take on it, on the channel someday!
