Hi - first post here and first woodworking project in many years. My wife and I are in the process of converting our two-car garage to a woodshop and we've made progress (that would be another post in a different area). Briefly, though, we've insulated, added mini split and lights, and we've about finished a climate controlled room in the attic above the garage so we can move things out of the way of woodworking.
I'm restoring my PM66 (loaned out, came back rusted, trunnion locked, motor burnt out, etc. - NEVER loan a tool), a Delta scroll saw from the 40’s, and I've already restored my DJ-15 (loaned along with the table saw – came back the same way). These restorations will be another post in a different area, as well.
On to the monitor stand –
A friend and I play guitar in our worship group at church every Sunday and he left in June to fill in at another church while they looked for a music minister. When he left we were using printed sheets for all our music. I have switched over to my iPad using OnSong, an excellent app for this purpose, btw. However, last week when we were discussing his return he pointed out that he can’t see my iPad unless it’s fairly close and he didn't feel comfortable being the one to ‘drive’. So, I decided Wednesday before Thanksgiving to order a VGA cable for my iPad and mirror to a 22” monitor I had but wasn't really using.
I started thinking about how I was going to mount the monitor to a mic stand and figured that wasn't going to work. I also didn't know if the display needed to be landscape or portrait so I had to wait until the cable came in from Amazon Friday afternoon. Found the display requires the monitor to be landscape and headed to Lowe’s to buy one 5.5” by 6’ Aspen white wood board. Man, prices have gone up on wood since I last did some woodworking over 15 years ago. About $12 for one plain white board – wow!
More to come, I'll post the rest in a sec...
Since I didn't see a way to arrange the photos I just numbered them -
