Did you just glue the sides or did you attach with screws.
Thanks Loyde

I made one as well using 3/8" plywood and 3/4" show molding around the two sides and front. The back is custom fit to my belly (took three tries to get it right) and it has 1X4 on the sides and front as well to help it sit in my favorite chair. It works great although since I now have a little basement work area I rarely ever use it. Also makes a good little lap table for eating a sandwich on!

L.P.
