You can get workbenches for garages that need room for the car, where the bench folds up against the wall when not in use, and then the legs fold out of the way. Here's an example. http://www.loadedshopper.com/home_sweet_home/folding_workbench_is_good_for_garages_tight_on_space.php Could something similar work for you, if you had a thin cocktail design? |

My project (under construction) is similar to what you are describing. In the photos you'll see I've removed 2 of the cabinet doors and the shelves (in my garage) and rolled in my monitor (which is on a temporary plywood t.v. stand). Out in front is the CP, which is on a desk (which has 4 casters). The final plan I envision has the whole garage cabinet rebuilt. The section with the arcade will have 2 doors that open to reveal the monitor which will be built into the shelving (with a bezel and a finished look). The CP will be on a new rolling stand and stored under the monitor (tucked away neatly behind the doors). When I'm ready to use the arcade, I'll simply roll the CP forward into position for a nice showcase set-up. I may have some sort of tracking system so the CP rolls out straight - maybe eventually a motorized mechanism to push it out for me. Yours could be similar but on a smaller scale. Build your monitor into the cabinet shelving. Have the CP slide out from under the monitor like a large drawer. After game time push in the drawer, close the cabinet doors and it's out of sight - just like that ironing board in the previous post! |

Thanks for all the input and ideas guys. I really appreciate it. The "mame my ironing board" project is a really funny idea ! Here's a pic of the rough kind of idea I originally had in mind. Don't worry, my Woodwork skills are better than my photoshop skills ! I will do more research, maybe get busy with some cardboard and see what I can realistically come up with as a prototype. |
