Need some table building advice.....asap.

KingtUT

I'm at the critical stage of building the base for the egg. Myquestion concerns the hole cut out. How much room is needed to allow for the hinge to open down in the table? I'm trying to set the egg as deep as possible into the table. I have a 24" opening for the hole to be cut and for the hinge cutout. Do I have enough room? Until I know, I cant set the height for the base. It's a tough measurement for me get , but I know I've seen plenty of tables with a opening cut for the hinge. Any help is appreciated.

Here's a build with the egg top flush with the table. Hope that helps.

I have no idea as I don't have a table. However, TNW's plans are very popular and he gives dimensions. Hope this helps.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. His table is 33.5" deep but he seems to have room to spare. Mine is 24" so I'm still unsure. After seeing that, I'm guessing I'm just shy of enough room. Thanks

what size is your egg?

Large. I have enough room for a 24" opening. I've decided I can't recess the hinge fully. But I will go ahead with a 21.25" hole and make a cutout for the hinge to recess some. I hope I've figured correctly, we will see soon. The hinge cutout should allow me to sit the egg about an inch and a half deeper than most.
