Both windows have a small ledge, so I&#8217;m thinking of putting a shelf onto them. I could make it mostly out of reused wood from the lab, e.g. wood that was used for shipping some of our machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"472\" src=\"https:\/\/invar.nl\/projects\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Screenshot_20240220_161009.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/invar.nl\/projects\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Screenshot_20240220_161009.png 1000w, https:\/\/invar.nl\/projects\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Screenshot_20240220_161009-300x142.png 300w, https:\/\/invar.nl\/projects\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Screenshot_20240220_161009-768x362.png 768w, https:\/\/invar.nl\/projects\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Screenshot_20240220_161009-210x99.png 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I think the weight on top will keep everything in place, but I want to secure the thing to be sure. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll be allowed to drill into the window frames. I guess I could wedge something between the frame on the long side, so the shelf can&#8217;t move. Maybe I can use bolts in T-nuts to push into the steel frames on both sides and wedge it that way? Or perhaps a very strong magnet on both ends to make sure the thing doesn&#8217;t slide off?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I want more plants in our lab office, but I don&#8217;t want to clutter my desk too much.
