Protype small shelf/table

[briwy]

Always a problem where to put the electric kettle when we are on hookup so decided to have a go at a small shelf next to the sink. Just a rough design at present but tried it this weekend and it works fine. Dropping it over the locking button stops it moving and sliding out of the slot round the sink. It takes up no room to store, just stuffed behing the passenger seat.
The final version will be made either from alloy or some decent ply machined out with the router.

That's a good idea, extra space to put things on would be a massive benefit.

 

[DM]

Love it. I'd pay for that in a smart alloy.

Brilliant briwy. Would deffo be interested if you decide to make a batch.

 

[motacyclist]

Great idea

You should be on Dragon's Den!

Any chance of a template? What stops it coming out of the slot?

 

[Bill]

Simple but very effective. Great idea.

a rough design at present

Looks anything but rough to me - looks very well finished. Very intuitive. Well done.
This forum is superb, with so many ideas, skills and great advice.

Mk 2. Vohringer ply and edge trim left over from a Mazda Bongo project a few years ago
Looks better but due to the thickness of the ply it doesn't sit as well. Have to be a Mk 3 at some stage.

 

[Velma's Dad]

Just pop the bag of choccy raisins back on top and no-one will notice the thickness of the shelf.

What a neat little thing! I'll have to get to work.

Just give it a Brandrup part no. Delivery of 6 months to drive up desirability and you can retire and churn them out

What's happened to the photos that went with this posting? We were just about to have a try at making one of the neat little shelf things, but the images have disappeared :-(

I guess they were stored on a link witch where the pictiures has been removed ...

 

[ejmoore]

Yes, I think you're right - should have made a note when I first saw it.

 

[ejmoore]

Maybe Briwy really is going into production - look for them at £150 each in the Brandrup catalogue

I love this idea but have one question - pls bear with me I do not have my Cali yet!! - What is the little hole near the window for? Could it be the lock status/manual lock button?
