My neighbor has a table that is made of 6 oak planks
all hinged together. The legs fold out as a separate unit
and are hinged like the old comping cots. The two are latched
together to form a camp table. Wife wants on made. I can't
find any of the old strap hinges that were used in the old
army cot days. Any ideas?
Thanks for your time and efforts.

You need a really good, old-school hardware store. We have two or three in
Martinez, but there ought to be something in Davis or Sacramento. Look for
an Ace, or maybe a True Value, or a Do it Best, where you can buy hardware
that isn't all prepackaged in shrink wrap plastic. Somewhere where the
help remembers the Eisenhower administration.
