So instead of a laptop on my lap I want the wireless keyboard in my lap and the monitor on a stand at eye-level over my legs. It is a 23" touch screen using Windows 8.

I've searched for joints - swivel, ball, bolt/wing nut, articulating arms etc. but really haven't found anything.

Does anyone have any design ideas? Or a source of joint parts?

Thanks in advance!

I searched but didn't find anything; gave me many results with anything but "DIY Monitor Stand"!

What I found before I posted was desk mounts; mine is a floor pole mount that swings out over my recliner; not a desk.

Haven't even found anything even close to that; perhaps you could search for me since you know the web site.

Thanks again!

You would probably need to adapt it for the remote monitor. Basicly it had two different ways to order for the base of it. The base I wanted was a weighted base that was designed to roll under the sofa or side of chair. It had a fold down, swing out, twist any direction, tension spring loaded lockable articulated arm with a shelf for the laptop.

fwiw...
My old desktop computer, I just took a piece of paneling and covered it with formica and made it perfect size for my keyboard and a mouse pad.. It was my lapDesk... works fine.
