Good morning! I've begun working on a cabinet in my spare time, this one features a fold down desktop to serve as a workspace when needed and to remain out of the way when it's no longer needed.

Check out the work shown here

Nice work, Brian.
I don't understand your term "spare time". ;)

Hah, thanks Charlie!

I Hope that you'll check it out and comment.
