Step 4 Folded closed

I put the 90 deg turn on the peice of the first arm so that I can fold the whole thing up against the wall to get it out of the way, I'm glad this is possible but it really dosnt get left folded up against the wall much.

Very nicely done. I'm looking into doing something like this myself. What kind of wood did you use, and what shop tools were employed? It looks like oak; is this correct? I'd think that pine would be too weak to support a monitor.

thank you, I'm going to tear it all apart soon and check to make sure everything is wearing ok, but it seems like it is holding up really well, and i have 3 kids under the age of 10 that use it roughly a lot. When i do so I will try to remember to update my pictures some to show this dissambled. As far as wood, yes its all oak, the 1 inch stuff is from a stair tred left over and the slats are wainscoating, so really i dont think it cost me more than 30$ in wood if you had to buy it. these were bits I had leftover anyway though. as far as tools, a drill press was really handy to make sure the pilot holes and pivot holes were all square was really handy. A table saw, band saw and chop saw were used although I'm sure that you could use any one of those or even a hand saw if you had to. and a belt sander was used to finish it up and soften the corners a bit. I wished I had a router table though, could have made it a bit fancier.
