In my original plan, the touch screen monitor for the new mixer would be stored in the box where the current mixer lives and just be stood up when the box was opened. The minor flaw with that plan is that the base of the monitor is too wide to fit. What’s the solution?

For me, the obvious answer was a bit of woodwork. Metal or plastic might be more suitable but my tools, materials and skills are more geared to wood. I managed to find some suitable lumber to hold the neck of the monitor support securely but keeping the whole thing more towards a horizontal orientation. That, I think, is what will be most comfortable for operating it in any case.

I’ve got everything fitted together so I’ll be able to see if it fits when we take the old mixer out on Monday. If it does, then I’ll probably want to come back and apply a neater looking finish. It’s ready at least to move from first prototype and into testing.
