I have a crazy idea, I would like to turn an unused dining table into a computer table/workstation.
1. I use flat panel monitors for my work from home station, two of them
2. I use a laptop in a docking station
3. I use a wireless keyboard and mouse
the table that I want to modify is a 4 leg table with a 1" thick top, and a 3" deep skirt that runs from leg to leg, and is attached to the legs with a diagonal wooden piece that bolts to the legs. The table does not have any leaves. the table is about 36" X 48". The table is made out of para-wood ( spent rubber tree from maylasia that we got from an unfinished furniture place)
that said what I would like to do is
1. seperate the table top from the base of the table and hinge it at the back and mount the monitors to the underside of the table
2. remove the front skirt piece and add a drawer that spans the length nd width of the table, sort of like an oversized keyboard tray that holds the keyboard and the computer.
3. the front table-skirt piece would be hinged onto the keyboard tray, and fold down to allow access to the keyboard tray.
What sort of hinges would I need to employ for each of the parts of this whack job of an idea.
The ultimate goal is to be able to hide my office in my guest bedroom.
