Building a Tabletop, Cardboard Music Stand
For my personal practice habits and locations, I had often thought that a desk top music stand would be convenient...but not convenient enough to actually spend money on one.
I wanted one that was lightweight, would fold up easily, and definitely wouldn't scratch whatever surface I would put it on.
So, after some design thought, I just built one out of cardboard.
Picture of it are below, and (bascially) a step-by-step process listing materials, parts sizes, supplies needed, etc. are in an attached pdf file.
Basically, however, all it really took was cardboard, duct tape, and a box knife.
The whole thing, even doing the final engineering "on the fly", only took a couple minutes and was totally free.
I am extremely pleased with how it turned out, and this project may have uses for you other than what I had intended for mine.
So, if you think you may be interested in one for whatever reason, pretty much all the information you might need is below between the .pdf file and the pictures.
For each of the pics in the gallery below, you can LEFT CLICK on them to enlarge them, and to view the entire image, part of which gets clipped off in order to provide the graphic you see in the gallery.
Enlarging the pic will also move the text off of the pic and to the bottom margin of the picture so that you can both see the entire pic and read the text easier.

The .pdf file below lists parts, sizes, and constructions steps.
You can RIGHT CLICK and then select "Open Link in New Tab".
This will open the document, but still keep this web page open.
