I am looking for plans for a dining table with a hidden leaf, check out this
site for an example.

http://www.smithinteriors.com/dr5.html

I mainly need to see how the leaf tucks away, so any style table would
work. I will modify the plan to suit my tastes.

Try spring-loading a pantry-style pullout slide or pocket door slides.
Hinge the leaf to that and float the other leaf (piano-hinged to the
1st one)

P.S: Watch the kids shred it the first time they see it opened. (Hey,
will this thing squish my sister's doll if I put it between the
leaves? How fast can we make it go down into the table? How much
weight will this thing handle?) stomp, stomp, stomp

Thanks for the idea, after blowing more than a couple of unproductive hours
searching around the internet, I did what I should have done from the
beginning.

I called Rockler, Woodcraft, and Lee Valley, the two guys at the former
stores couldn't remember ever having seen such a thing. Sue at Lee Valley
knew right away what I was talking about. Here are links to their hardware
for such a table.

For legs or two pedestals

For single pedestal

Thanks again.

Yeah, that's a much saner idea than folding them up in the middle.

Thanks again.

Jewelcome.

Paul,
Tables and Chairs (The Best of Fine Woodworking), contains an article about
a "butterfly" extension table, which is what you've linked to. We bought
one years ago at oak express, and it works very well.
Good luck,
Kevin
