Hinge Question
Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


I am making a card table with a circular top approx. 33" in diameter and 7/8" thick. The top will be cut down the middle and fold over on itself (rather than down). So when the table is open, the hinges will be visible and flush with the surface.

Is there a rule of thumb for the size of the hinges? Also, any recommendation on brands?

Dehumidifier
Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


Between the boat and the high-humidity of the Midwest, I have been battling some mildew showing up here and there. I am going to install a dehumidifier, but have a couple of questions.

1. I do not have a drain in the garage and I will need to run the discharge hose about 20-feet to drain to the outside. I assume I will need a dehumidifier with an internal pump to composite for the distance?

2. What is a good humidity % to shoot for with wood and projects being housed and built in the garage?

3. Any recommendations on the size of the dehumidifier, or stick with one rated for the square footage (approx 800).

Thank you!

Big table top!
Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


I am finishing up what I consider an odd sized table. It is 5' x 5' out of 1 3/8" thick walnut. Heavy top, so heavy that since I work by myself, I had to design a apparatus to move and flip the top over.

The schrinkulator calculates an 1" of movement if I put in the high value of 12% and the low value of 6". I would think that would be the extremes or at least I hope so!

I was going to use figure eights to fasten the top to the apron but I am concern that figure eights would not handle that much possible movement. Thoughts?

The base is 35" x 35" with 5" x 5" legs and 2" x 5" aprons. I was only going to put the figure eights parallel to the grain. Would it be a mistake not the attach the sides of the table to the base in some way? Once again, there is a potential of a considerable amount of movement.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Toney
