I went to Lowes and was able to find the hinges, knob, nails, and brads that I need. Surprisingly enough though, it is QUITE difficult to find 1/2 inch plywood that's good in both sides that's not expensive cabinet wood. The people at Lowes were really not top sympathetic that they didn't have a simple thing. Simplicity is not their money maker, I suppose. It all worked out because my dad knows a guy who has his own lumber yard and was able to get what we want and deliver it so we didn't have to struggle with it on the roof of the rav 4 (they're quite large boards). So it all worked out, but one thing I learned is that when working from a "recipe" from an old book from the high school library, a lot of things are outdated and really hard to find.
