If you're talking about the Grand Banks hi-lo table, one would think there were plans for the things drawn up at American Marine (now Grand Banks). Whether they still have them on file down there in Singapore is anyone's guess, as is the question of whether they would copy off a set for you. I guess you could try the Grand Banks parts department back east for a start (the phone number is on the GB website, or maybe someone will post it-- I have it on my work computer but not on this one). The only other suggestion I can offer is to find someone with a GB that has this table and take the measurements and hardware details off of it. It's not a complicated table at all, in my opinion, but I'm not much of a woodworker, so maybe it's more tricky to make than I think. There are some dovetailed slides that come out to support the leaves, and the hinges are these interesting, right angle, multi-leaf metal things inset into the wood. But I've seen these hinges in cabinet hardware catalogs, so they're not hard to find. This type of hinge has a name, but I don't remember what it is. I don't know if the twin, telescoping legs are common pieces of hardware or if you'd have to have them fabricated. C. Marin Faure GB36-403 "La Perouse" Bellingham, Washington
