Blind Pivot Hinges???

[Doug Jones]

Do you have "WOOD" issue #122? The "folding tray table" project calls for 16 blind pivot hinges, where does one (me) find these kind of hinges ? Or what alternative mechanism could I substitute for ?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated, Doug

Doug,

Take a look at the barrel hinges, bullet hinges or pin hinges at Lee Valley. They are small to tiny and are blind when closed and hardly visible when open.

That's the March 2000 issue, I believe. And I do have it at home (at work at the moment). Are you looking for a copy of the article? If you already have it, don't they usually give a list of sources for hardware for the project? If you need a copy of the article, I could make a photocopy and send it to you by mail. PM me, if you need to.
