Probably not. I hate being overly warm. I run a fan year round.

Yeah, I prefer being cold over being hot

Sure, it seems like it would be more efficient than heating an entire room.

If I had the space and could afford one I would definitely use one.

I hate being cold.

sure. I like to keep my legs and feet warm

I made one a few years back by cutting down the legs of an old table I found and notching in a piece of finished ply-wood on top. Comfy as all hell during the winter, nice even during the hot months if you remove the blanket. Lots of space to work on and if you feel you need a break you can just fall back onto the floor and streeetch. Only problem was I already had a desk to work on that had my desktop and eventually, because I had other options, the novelty fell through and I used it less and less. Plus, no back support for longer working sessions so I just stopped using it, gave it to my sister.

Fun for a while though, considering how cold its been getting I kinda wish I still had it, actually.

I would if it weren't summer here.

I hate summer.

Does the top of the table get hot too?

>>1825
No, not really. It was actually cool to the touch which makes sense, wood is not exactly a good conductor and the reason for the blanket is to insulate under the table, keep the heat in, not let it escape out. As an aside I found that even without the heater on the blanket was sufficiently warm, the heater was just a nice touch on extra cold days (especially mornings).

If you're wondering, I got the heating unit at some local Japanese market/store thing. They had full kotatsus for sale but the affordable ones were too small and made of cheap plastic, which I didn't like. Making your own table is really easy and dirt cheap (read: nearly free) if you're lucky and find a table like I did. Ply-wood is extremely cheap, my local hardware store even cuts it down to spec for free. You don't even need any power tools, I just used a wood saw and a screw driver.

I would set one up but my room is filled to capacity. Maybe if I move out... ;_;

No, OP. Looks awesome, but I couldn't stand being on the hard flour, even les with my legs crossed and nothing to hold my back (I do have back and hip problems, from years ago).

get one of these: http://www.bing.com/shopping/folding-floor-chair-back-jack-portable-folding-chair-black/p/45DFE699DB755DBA5C4F?q=floor+chairs&FORM=ENCA1

I remember they had these things back in grammar school. not sure what they're called exactly, but searching "floor chair" got me these.

Cutting something as large as a table with nothing but a handsaw requires godlike skills of precision.

>>1842
or you know, some clamps to hold the tablet down, and the ability to follow a simple line.
If you go slow, there's no reason why you would mess up a simple strait cut, not unless you have Tourette or something, but even then, a normal cheep saw doesn't cut wood like butter, not even the crappiest woods, if you sneeze or was interrupted or anything, the saw would probably just stay stuck in place.
The worst thing that could happen would be accidentally cracking off a peace at the end, this is why you would have a peace of wood pressed up against the end of the cut, to avoid cracks, chips and splinters at the end.

I was mainly talking about cutting the table legs to shorten it and adding small notches (little rectangles) on opposite sides of the flat part to secure the ply-wood. I dunno, it really wasn't that hard, I didn't do any major cutting. I screwed the heating unit right onto the bottom of the table too, nothing fancy.

Pic is pretty much how I did it.

The slightest mistake in cutting angle becomes a very big mistake if you cut from a straight line to the other end of the board. You have to be very careful to keep adjusting your cut so it follows the line. If you try to adjust it too late, the line you cut becomes a large arc and the wood presses up against the saw, making a huge amount of friction.
