Hello from Maine, I bet this has been done before. I have seen Danny Galaga's a long time ago. Has anyone else made one? I was thinking of making one that turns by hand, like a Lazy Susan table. I was thinking of putting a wooden circle around the monitor a la Salty's cab. I was thinking the wooden circle would extend out of the table at one area, maybe a cutout on the table, to facilitate hand turning. Does this exist? If not, care to help me design it? Thank you, Craig |

I considered it years ago, but then I kept added and adding, then realized it would be a monstrausity. (I was going to have an 8sided cocktail table). I was going to rotate so I could have horizontal and vertical on each side... Lazy Susan will definately work if you can get one with a big enough center to fit the monitor. They come in sizes and can handle a LOT of weight. You end up paying for it though. btw, you can get away with just some wheels. Horizontal rotation is a LOT easier then angled or vertical. |

whats the point on a coctail. the 2 ends are for vertical and the 2 sides are for horizontal games. just change where your standing? just seems like a whole lot of work when all you have to do is walk 12 inches away for the same result. |
