DIY Droptop Duo desk
Thought I'd share a DIY project for a flexible drop down workstation.. Largely copying the Droptop Duo, except without whatever specially engineered hinges they have.
1m wide piano hinge 1.5mm thick, with two bolts secured with a T nut from the underside of the top to take extra load off the hinge. Made with 25mm Baltic Birch plywood so screw holds incredibly well, and with channels routed into the back. Front is a magnetic chalkboard for my daughter to play with when packed away.
For anyone thinking of it, it's actually pretty easy just requires a bit of planning to ensure it's strong enough re; materials etc. This is super solid and I plan to use it as my desk twice a week, and my wife will use it as her art desk. Room doubles as a play room now for our toddler and our spare room for visitors.
