Interesting. I'll have to have a look. That would make for a cool desk. Also I expect I could then epoxy the desk to the arms and not have to rest my arms on bolt heads.

Certainly the cardboard did not provide enough stability but if I could take a wood (or
trex) post and carve out an arm shaped hole, I might be able to slide it onto the arm and get enough lateral support. All I would have to do is jigsaw out a cut like I did with the cardboard and then cut-off / glue back in the bottom part to make a round hole. That would allow for sliding the desk on and off without having to put a bolt through the arm.
In a perfect world I would like the option to be able to move the desk out of the way easily and use the treadmill for running. However I also want this thing working by Saturday (the deadline Mrs. Moonie gave for getting that damn thing out of the living room
) so I'll add that to the Desk v2.0 features.
