There seems to be a lot of interest in the Jefferson portable desk. I came across this article...thought it worthy of sharing.

I've always loved those writing boxes. Those pics are fabulous. The background info was great.

Thanks for sharing this info.

I am in the process of finishing the Jeffersonian style desktop for my laptop computer. Have all the pieces cut, and just need to finish the angle cuts so they pieces fit properly and neat. Will add suitcase handle and use piano hinges. Inside are three compartments for paperclips and other items needed for communications.
