[QUOTE="AlanT, post: 492720, member: 30185"] Thanks, Dale. You're moving faster than I. I haven't yet figured out sizes. I'm trying to focus on the right size and material for the piano hinge. Since I'm using 1/2 plywood, it's a little bit of a challenge to find piano hinges small enough that will work. While a typical 1 1/2" hinge would technically work, it would leave a sharp edge exposed with the lid open. Not a show stopper, but not great. It seems like McMaster-Carr has the largest variety of piano hinges down to 1 1/16", but not cheap. I'm currently dealing with my daughter's car issue and trying to get it towed for repairs. It's always something. I appreciate all the help provided on this site. I've learned a great deal in the last 2 years. My boat is finally get some attention after years of "emergency-type repairs" to keep it in use. [/QUOTE]
