My Town Monday: My San Diego Living Room
Ever wonder what Mr. Summy does in his spare time?
Recently he invented... a treadmill shelf for his lovely wife.
 |
| Mr. Summy came up with this brilliant design. He attached (with the help of his handy assistant, Child #4) a drawer glider on the outside of the treadmill handles. This is so I can glide the desk up and out of the way when folding the treadmill for storage. |
 |
| Child #4 is drilling holes into the side wood pieces. Mr. Summy is supervising. I am napping. (kidding!) |
 |
| Voila! A beautiful treadmill shelf is born. There are plans to paint it black, but it is completely functional. Cost $27. As compared to, say, the Trek Desk which is about $500. |
 |
| Just a gratuitous crazy pic of child #4 |
p.s. Watch this Wednesday for The Book Review Club!

Very cool design!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I love my treadmill desk.
ReplyDeleteSarah: I really like how it turned out. The shelf is easily wide enough to hold my laptop, my phone and my water!
ReplyDeleteDebby: You are what got me started thinking about this project!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very sharp design, Barrie. Sometimes I wish I had been bestowed with those carpenter skills.
ReplyDelete27 versus 500. I can go for that kind of savings.
ReplyDeleteI love this!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!
ReplyDeleteDavid: I don't think Mr. Summy would describe himself as having good carpenter skills. That said, this shelf really is superb. I can't wait to see it in black.
ReplyDeleteCharles: My sentients exactly!
