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!
