Interesting.. So if you want no cupboard its $135 for the table then extras for Laminex so under $300.
Yep I got the Bunnings hinge (prestige brand I think?) and it is no good when the screws go in as it closes to far so the table doesnt sit level . I had to put screws with big heads on them to level it out but will get a better hinge down the track.For quality piano hinge in different sizes I found a Sydney company that have them.

The stuff bunnings have looks average to me and a quality hinge is what will make the table solid. These guys have them in different thickness.
You can't buy direct but they sell through these guys.

So there it is all done! Really happy with the way it come up. Only issue is the hinges I got from Bunnings have a large gap and had to put bigger headed screws in so the table sat level when open.
Getting a better hinge would be a lot easier Pete.Just a thought @17triton is it possible to recess the hinges to reduce your gaps? Bit of mucking around but may be worth it.
nah whip the hinge off, scratch a groove with the circular saw. Put the hinge back. Job done 5 minutes tops!!!Getting a better hinge would be a lot easier Pete.
Hi Triton,just wondering what you made the cupboard out of ? cheers Pilchards.View attachment 48330View attachment 48331View attachment 48332View attachment 48333
New hinges fitted to the table. My neighbour suggested to use Zysa hinges and fitted them for me. They look a lot neater I think.
I used 190 x 19 kd hardwood ( Victorian ash ) and gave it a couple of coats of lime wash to lighten it up and match it a bit more to the Jayco timber finish.Hi Triton,just wondering what you made the cupboard out of ? cheers Pilchards.
Thanks, you have done a top job. How have the hinges held up after some use,is the table still straight or is there some flex in the hinges?I used 190 x 19 kd hardwood ( Victorian ash ) and gave it a couple of coats of lime wash to lighten it up and match it a bit more to the Jayco timber finish.
I sold the van in January mate but the hinges held up well. we didn't use the table a lot and most time was folded back to give us room but definately no issues. Our kids are a bit older as well and knew not to go leaning all over the table as well which helps.Thanks, you have done a top job.
