Re: Advice Please An old carving friend who is now deceased made my lapboard for me. Never content with anything the way it comes, I had to tinker with it to make it work even better for me. I cut off the top part of an oversized bib apron and sewed a strip of velcro along the bottom, and glued the matching stip of velcro along the inside of the lap box. Now when I sit down in my recliner with the lapbox, I spread the side flaps of the apron over the arms of the chair, flip the neckband around my neck, and start carving. Fewer chips get in my chair--none get in my lap and when I'm finished for the night, I tuck both side flaps on top of the lapboard, slip off the neck band and pile on top, too, and I walk out on the deck and dump the wood chips over the edge.
