New Tablet

[Bob Williams]

Jason:

thank you, found one of the many YouTube videos, stripped it down and found that the charging port and cable are both u/s, ordered parts from Fleabay.. Great info, I should also be able to find bits for my own Hudl2 and sell it on. This morning I have been given another one with a u/s board, should be able to do some more cannibalisation. I enjoy tinkering with stuff like that.

Doc, I am frsh out of war stories atm and don’t have time to go to the coast today. Granddad’s Taxi is on duty. Very happy to be able to entertain you occasionally though! :yahoo:  😉

Happy belated birfday Steve!

The higher the numbers get, the less you enjoy them, unless it’s a big one. I enjoy all the family birthdays, good excuse to have a ‘Do’. Not that my lot needs much of an excuse, as long as granddad is footing the bill. 😥

Never heard of the table before. It’s amazing the most random things that have such a community behind them. Just think of a niche, and there is a community dedicated to it somewhere on the web. This is a prime example of why forums will never die, no matter how good and large the like of Facebook gets. Forums serve dedicated communities better. Some cools stuff around that table if you click some links. Apparently idea made a change on the later models, and only the top 3″ are solid plastic, so if you want Marple racks you have to trim the bottom of the leg off and insert a piece of wood in. Also they do a double one called the coffee table Lack, that is just long enough to put to sets in, for the ultimate geek lounge set up. I’d image in it would work well as a hearer in the winter months Joking aside, some clever cheapo, my favourite kind, sussed this out, and I love ikea ran with it. It seems to have a cult following. Random stuff I look at when the misses is asleep. Suppose it’s better than porn! But pretty sad when my birthday falls on a Friday night and I’m sat in looking at plastic chairs.

It mentioned the hollow leg issue in one link, but you do not need a wooden filler, you can use one of the special wall plugs that goes through and pulls the end back when you screw in the screw and the thing clamps hard onto the leg.

I had a cupboard door that was hollow like those legs, and when I needed to mount two coat hooks on the inside, so I could “park” the ironing board out of the way, I used plasterboard fixings like THESE. If the door is a bit thinner than normal, drill the hole with the fixing, then cut the “drill-bit” part off before screwing it into the door!!

I seen the mentioned plugs, but them racks are heavy, I personally wouldnt trust my £x hundred pounds kit to plaster board fixings.

Especially when you could whip the bottom off and fill with wood.

Actually, I’d drill a whole in the bottom, and one on the inside of the top of the leg,  and fill with expanding foam. Once dry trim of the spillage flush out the holes. Then I’d trust a plasterboard plug.

There was mention of a “Z” bracket at the back on one of the articles about the table, I’d have used them in conjunction with that. The ironing board wasn’t as expensive or delicate.:D

The plaster board type are one of several however they all rely on the board , plastic leg, or whatever having enough strength to take the leverage of the shelf, or whatever, that is where I  join with your doubts. A rear support would make me much happier with anything expensive.
