I'd like to attach a swinging arm-like device to the top of my desk that I can pull down when necessary. Help?

Hello,

In radio booths, they have microphones that swing on an arm that can be pushed and pulled in many directions. I'd like to build the same thing for my desk with a microphone attachment, but really have no idea where to start with the materials for that. Home depot maybe? What would I be getting? Are there pre-made arms like that that I can mount?

Thanks.

    I have made such a unit,in the past before microphones were built into monitors etc.I used a cast off,inexpensive desk lamp like the 5th one down in link.One could also use a flexible"goose neck" type mount.
