What is this hinge called and where can I find it?
I´m looking for this hinge to make a folding desk similar to the one in the photo. Can´t for the life of me find these hinges anywhere and I am not sure what they are called. Any help appreciated.

Search for "lid stay" or "lid support" Many options out there.
I would second _MJ_'s suggestion for the angled supports.
As for the hinge itself, simple steel or brass pins would do the job. Quickie sketch based on the dimensions for the thing you showed.
