Adapting a Lagun table mount to 80/20.

Lagun’s table mount comes with a fixture that’s intended to be mounted on some sort of wooden furniture, usually.

It’s wide, with 4 mounting bolts:

Since I’m going to be mounting to an 80/20 extrusion that is the leg of the bed, I needed to modify this.

Pretty simple, drill 2 holes, countersink for the heads, cut off the sides.

Now I have a table mount on the side of the bed that I can use as desk space for working, extra table space for cooking, etc.

The top of the leg is tapped for a 5/16×18 thread, so to take the stress of the table off of the pivot, I screw in a knob bolt through the 3-way corner connector to the top of the leg to stiffen everything up when the table is on.

The countertop is another one of those hardwood workbench tops from HomeDepot, and fits either on the Lagun mount, on top of the sink, or stores behind the driver’s seat:

Now I can use this space at the end of the bed as a desk, or as counter-top space for cooking. Pretty simple, but very useful.
