    Source for hinges

    Where are these available?

    I'm going to assume those mount on the top? (Rather than the bottom of, say, a table leaf?) This is the best I could come up with just doodling around:

    There's a lot of specialized hardware that just isn't made anymore. I've taken to fabricating broken pieces using bric-a-brac from the BORG.

    Thanks Jonathan but I need something to work with the geometry and mortises of an existing piece. Has the collective knowledge of the Creek been exhausted?

    Not necessarily, but my bed is calling me and my eyes are having trouble staying open.

    Try searching on:

    > hold open hinge <
    > drop leaf hinge <
    > drop front hinge <

    It may be easier when you do a search to look through the images instead of everything else that pops up.

    Found this:

    Among a few others.

    Thanks guys. "Secretary hinge" is the magic search term. I was trying "folding table hinge" ect... and getting nowhere.
