Converting the Bench Seat into a Desk

Removed top shelf and tested out options for desk angle

 Today we finished the modification of the bench seat -- transmogrifying it into a transformable desk/bench/shelf system! 

 There's not much room in the Weebee until you MAKE MORE ROOM via clever means (well, we hope this was clever -- perhaps it's in the eye of the beholder).  The idea here is that perhaps everything in the house should serve at least two purposes.  This may be more of an ideal than a working reality but, for now, the bench/desk/shelf embodies the ideal.

Is that a skull and crossbones?

 To make the appropriately crazy curved desk edge we used aluminum.

 We then made an equally crazy frame to support the crazy edge.

Here's the system in Bench Mode -- add pillows for enhanced comfort.

And, now: the system is seen in Desk Mode!  Note shelf in lower right.
