yo,
im designing my kitchen right now, renovating the whole thing, but ive got this corner thats not being utilised. i plan to set it up so that you can push the corner of the bench and it pops up to reveal hidden appliances. the issue with that im thinking is the amount of for to drive it would need to be quite lard (essentially driving two pieces of solid granit, 500mm x 500mm and an appliance weighing in total about 12 kg. my thought was to have 4 od those hydraulic lift tubes (idk the name) bolted below it that woild push it up quite easy but then the issue is with pushing it down, as i dont want it to require a lot of force, so i was thinking of having it power driven (touch sensor that acts as an up and down switch, automatically turning off once its at the top or bottom. but then the issue with that is it might be thater noisy and id prefer to plug it in, not have it wired directly to the mains and just install a power port behind it, that would also power the appliance (brings up the issue of having a sturdy enough chord with routing).
any input? it would sort of be this in appearance but vertical and automatic
and combined with the principle of this, in fact this is probably what im after but on a larger scale. im worried about the issue of having it water tight though

Check with Q about it.
I'm sure he can have the boys come up with something suitable.

I don't know where you live OP, but as a cabinetmaker, I have installed appliance lifts in lowers, however you need to open the door, then it will pull out, up and lock at the same level as the counter...I get my stuff from Richelieu or Hettich...

there isnt one currently because its not built yet. but essentially it will look like this, without the overhead cabinets and a bit of a thicket bench

a tv is stupid, yes. but not the principle

the principle of this is to spill shit on your counter and replace your TV in 2 years.

They make outdoor TV sets. Pricey, but water resistant.
