Building a Kotatsu
Living downstairs has it’s advantages but one of them is not heat, which my old room had in spades. In that avenue, I’ve decided to “build” a cheap kotatsu for myself. Already ordered a few of the items I’ll need and will buy the rest next weekend when I’m free.
So hopefully in about two weeks time, I’ll have a nice little kotatsu to keep me semi-warm. More details, what I bought, tutorials, etc once everything is completed. I don’t want to look like an idiot before its 100% complete

I wish I had a Kotatsu to sit in and play my computer

Building a kotatsu, that’s different. I live on a second floor apartment, so my downstairs neighbor heats both his and my apartment.^^

Oh good idea ! kotatsu is very practical in winter specially to study : to work on a desk is uncomfortable and in a bed is impossible (you nod off very quickly :p). Good luck, I am waiting too the result and tutorial.

I’d actually be interested in this - I could integrate it into my work table whenever the a/c gets a bit too cold.

I heat my own room up with my consoles and PC along with my body heat :p it works!!
A kotatsu. Why do I see images of Love Hina running trough my mind and imagining all the fun stuff one could do if you had female company over for a “study session”?
Naughty mind, naughty mind
Anyway, hope you have fun building it. If you make it yourself, half of the fun is building it.

I had this notion a while back, but I never found a place to put one, and nobody understood the benefit of it… I live in FL, … all I wanted to do was fall asleep under it in the mild winter season
Good luck with it.

Saw someone do something similar a while back but I don’t remember what site it was from. Should be interesting to see your take on it ^^

Aizen, ah that would make life easy wouldn’t it?
Raistlin, it’s actually a lot easier than one would think.
super rats, yep boredom + cold + internets = kotatsu ^^;;
kyouray, study… LMAO I gave that up years ago!
Zeroblade, don’t expect anything that great hehehe
manga, well I’m doing the idiot proof way so it should be pretty straight forward
Ryan A, thanks!
kiryuu, wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same site I’m working off of as my basis.

That´s good to hear
When it´s finished I want to take a look at it. What colors and such you used for the materials and everything.
