Hi all! :) I've started a small project to make a little portable wooden multi-angle-adjustable drawing board. I know there are many simple ways to implement the angle-adjustable part, but I wanted to go that extra mile for convenience and have something similar to the lift-support mechanisms commonly found in larger drafting tables, where lifting the drawing area locks the board into different angles, and a slight lift allows for closing back down. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the part I'm looking for! :confused: I've seen parts close to what I'm looking for, named in the following ways: [LIST] [*]Ratchet Support [*]Ratchet Folding Bracket [*]Lift-up Ratchet Table Support [*]Ratcheted Lid Stay [*]Multi-Angle Lid Stay [*]Adjustable Lid Support [/LIST] Unfortunately, most of these are more heavy duty and for much larger tables than what I need. I only need something big enough for a small board that could support a regular 8x11 sketchbook. Does anyone know what I should be looking for, or where I might find it? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks very much! :D

I'm making a top tier to a dungeons and dragons table I've made in the past. And I want to be able to raise and lower the tier, so I don't have to just lift it off the table if I don't need it in place. I want to use spring loaded pegs, but I can't find what those are called. I thought spring loaded pegs is the right thing but it brings up nothing. I just would like to be able to drill into the legs of this top tier I made, install these peg hardware things and then be able to push them in when I need to raise the table, and they will pop back out to hold it in place. They are the type of hard ware you see in many office buildings, to allow for raising and lowering of employee desks.
