Folding Wall Bracket for Counter

Need a folding wall bracket for a 48" x 14" x 1 1/2" butcher block slab for extra counter space.

Would like something that is easy to use, avoiding pinched fingers and sharp edges.
I have no problem paying for a top of the line bracket.

I think the slab would weigh about 25 pounds. Anchor the brackets into 2x4 studs.

Thank You?

I've installed similar shelves in workshops. I've used Sugatsune folding brackets.

Paint on cabinet hinges question

R

RJHNY1 on Aug 04, 2023

Hi guys, I have a question. I hope this is the appropriate forum for it. I started a project to try get paint off of my cabinet hinges. I did a google search and a gentle solution was to put the cabinet hinges in simmering hot water with baking soda. The idea is the paint will slide off the hinges using my finger nails or a toothbrush. During my research, I read (and watched videos) that doing it this way would be gentle on the hinges and not ruin the finish. I did this today on 4 hinges. However, it seems the finish on it (which is antique brass) is coming off. Instead of an antique brass color, the hinges have a black color appearance to it. Why would this happen? I'm not sure what I did wrong. Could it be the age of the hinges? They're probably 20-30 years old (it came with the house when I bought it 6 years ago). I can't imagine that warm water and baking soda would cause the finish to wear off. Some feedback would be most appreciated. Thank you!Read More

Lazy susan type turntable for recliner chair

S

smartsally on Sep 15, 2023

I wonder if anyone has ever built a wooden lazy Susan that would hold a recliner chair? I have searched everywhere online hoping to buy something to allow a chair to swivel without installing a swivel conversion kit. I could not find anything except large lazy susans made for tabletop placement. This makes me wonder if it is possible to build one. Why couldn't I cut two 30" circles from plywood and place a swivel base mechanism between the circular boards? I would probably add some small blocks or glides around the base to protect the floor. I would screw the 4 chair legs to the top board to secure the chair. Does anyone think this is doable? I know there are conversion kits to add swivel bases to recliners but I thought this might be a different approach and achieve the same result. Appreciate any thoughts on this idea. Read More
