Shelf mod

[DavidGlen]

This is a mod that I haven't seen before. I made a shelf to fit into the window, with fold-down legs, the same as the ones that are used for extra counter space in Escape trailers. The nice thing is, it folds down (relatively) flat to save space.

I may add side rails, so that the cup of coffee or English muffin don't slide off the sides in the morning. This is 12" x 7.5". (It is a surprise anniversary present for my spouse. Don't tell.)

Best regards from Pittsburgh,

You can see in the first photo, an L-bracket of aluminum. It is mounted on the bottom of the wood shelf, and extends beyond the wood by about 1/4" (6 mm). This allows the L-bracket to rest in the window frame.

Best regards,

In or on the window frame? I can't see what holds it in place.

I like it. Where did you get the legs?

I love it. I wish my husband or myself were handier. Your wife will love it too.

I like that it is removable. Nice idea. Did you have to get the legs from Escape or are they widely available? I think my 63 Airstream has similar legs that are not painted.
