(...) Well, that really depends on which parts you use. The brick hinges that were suggested have the hinge on the corners, so the wall really would be 5 studs long. --Bram (23 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)

Hi Jon! I got my tables at IKEA about a year ago, but I decided on using the "AMON" table surface and "CURRY" table legs. AMON is, at least here in Sweden, availible in both 120 x 80 and 150 x 80 cm with a few selections on color. One being white. (...) (23 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.storage)

(...) Close, but not quite. It's actually a 6-stud long wall in a 4x5x6-stud triangle. The 3x4x5 ratio is measured from the centers of the studs, not the studs themselves. Going 3 studs deep and 4 studs wide actually gives you slightly more than 4.5 (...) (23 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)

(...) If it's not absolutely necessary to connect both ends to a fixed place, you could always just use one hinge brick on one side, and "tilt" the resulting wall at an approximate 45 degree angle. -Bryan (23 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)

(...) If those dimensions are not critical, you can do a 5 stud long wall at 36 degrees using a 3x4x5 triangular arrangement. Since sqrt(2) is not a rational number, using hinges as you suggest is technically impossible. It sort of works for a (...) (23 years ago, 4-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)
