Here's a pic of an expandable dining table. The leaf folds in the middle, and stores underneath the closed top. Anybody know more? Maybe a supplier of the mechanism? Maybe plans?

Michael Fortune had a very comprehensive piece on the making of a butterfly table in Fine Woodworking which comes up as issue 220 around mid 2011 - they have plans available too. http://www.finewoodworking.com/woodworking-plans/article/finest-way-to-expand-a-table.aspx

Would you post a link to the Lee Valley hardware for that leaf, please?
