I think I would like something like that for putting a tray on for crafts or TV dinners or a little of anything. I would love to have a plan to make one. It would work for about anything that you were doing while sitting down.

I would hate to mar the wood so I would use those large black alligator clamps you can find at any home improvement store and some felt or batting covered shims.

Interesting video but I was really intrigued with the device she used for putting on the thumbtacks. I will have to try and find one of those!
