Hinges for folding lectern

[richardchaven]

I want to make a very portable, small lectern for an instructor.

I'm looking for hinges that will

- Prevent the legs from rotating more than 90 degrees

- Leave 1/2" clearance when the legs are folded flat to allow the cross-brace to fold under it

Or I could glue a 1/2 inch square strip and flat-hinge the legs to that.

Any comments ?

OK. How about a picture when you're finished?
