Lectern and bar-stool for vugraph presentations

[mrdct]

For the recent vugraph presentation that I ran, I sat on a bar-stool at the SE corner of the table (stradling the screen) to get a nice clear view of the table. Prior to the presentation, I built a simple lectern to put my laptop on. Nothing fancy - just two pieces of chipboard cut to 500mm x 250mm connected with four 900mm legs. I put it all together with 8 long nails and it really was quite stable. It took about 5 minutes to make which I did in the carpark of the DIY centre (Bunnings) on the morning of my vugraph presentation. The materials cost less that A$5.
