Dinette Table Leg Hinges, Makes Into Bed

[Curt Sprenger]

Our dinette table leg was stationary (vertical, no hinge) with a
supporting angle bracket. I ordered a pair of item AB340110 Table Leg
Fasteners from SaliboatStuff. Didn't use the 90 degree part of the Leg
Fasteners. Bought a 3.5" hinge from ACE.

Removed the table/leg from the coach, turned it upside down on the
bench. Removed the leg/table 90 fixed bracket, and angle support.

Replaced the 90 fixed bracket with the hinge.

Drilled out the angel bracket ends to 3/8" hole, to accept the Leg
Fasteners screws. Put the threaded screws through the drilled holes.
Tightened up the Leg Fasteners to the screws. Aligned both ends (to leg
and table). Marked the holes for the wood screws. Drilled the holes, and
assembled.

To lower the table, remove the two Leg Fasteners (screws), fold up the
leg, lower the table to bed level.

Could have made my own fasteners, but the brass fasteners look more
Bluebird than plain painted steel.

Thanks to everyone who offered information and suggestions. Much
appreciated.

My grand kids will be happy!
