Try the local dog rescue. They've probably got some old mutts you could take off their hands for free.

That's better but I think something similar should be possible for about 50 quid. What about fabricated from scratch, anyone know where I can buy just the fittings? Table and poles I could rustle up for next to nothing

Well there's a market opportunity. Suggest you design and make a product to undercut the ones already on the market and make your fortune!

Two options that I am considering for my cockpit.
on Amazon
A round table: Hardwood Folding Garden Table with attractive chequered design Tabletop 620mm Diameter Round
or
A square table: Rupert Folding Square Lattice Teak Picnic Garden Table
These both have grating tops and fold away.

I fitted the Desmo table leg with one socket on the cabin sole and another in the cockpit. Of course you do need to be able to recess into reasonably strong cabin sole.

The table pedestal is the Lagun and as you say, it retails for around £150. There is a marine chandler in the States who distributes the exact same piece of kit (different name) at about half this price. Unfortunately they do not ship to the UK. I had a friend who was in the States at the time and he brought one over for me. He just put it in his suitcase. Excellent piece of kit.

I bought mine 2nd hand for £M70, ripped off the top and made my own.
They're Swedish, from memory trade name Lagoon, and that being so probably not available at less than the £150 you've been quoted.
In fact the parts are very well made to very close tolerances and I doubt you'll get anything comparable machined to the price you've quoted.
I'd certainly be comfortable with paying £150 new and I'm a notorious tightwad.
You might try direct import from Sweden - no VAT or duty to pay.

For items like this think 'Caravan', suggest you visit you local caravan centre shop or even better a caravan repair centre.

Ah. I had one of those on Kudu. Very good bits of kit. I shall ask the new owner if it's for sale next time I see her, as I think it may now be surplus to requirements.

Not my boat i'm afraid.
Was thinking about making an 'L' shaped leg out of box section. I need something so that the table top can swing in and out of the way, any ideas for a bracket? I'm not sure what name a fitting like that would even go by.

There was one there that looked ok, still think fabrication will work out cheaper.
This one isn't bad, bit flimsy maybe

Two u bolts and a 90deg bend of heavy wall stainless steel might be as good a place as any to start when designing from scratch . Using boatjumble suppliers of course. ?tenner all in?
