Yes exactly! Thank you! It’s one of those obscure parts that I just didn’t know the name for or how to really search for it besides asking actual people who know what they’re talking about haha.

Basically a table hinge, but yeah it's hard to find names sometimes!

You could make your own using a parallelogram design, but the manufactured one is a lot easier. Tool boxes and tackle boxes use them.

Normally I would but I have so many projects going on right now, I have to put a new engine in my boat before the summer, I have some Adirondack chairs I need to build, I have a bunch of half finished birdhouses that I need to complete before spring, plus I work 40/50 hours a week on top of that so if it saves me an afternoon or two of tinkering around with a design I’ve never built before I’ll take it!
