DIY Tracksaw Hinge for Microjig Matchfit — easy build that has a huge impact!

I decided to make a folding hinge for my tracksaw rail that integrates with my ‪@Microjig‬ grooved benchtopper. I designed the benchtopper so i could have the grooves when i need them and put them piece away when i don't. It made sense to make the tracksaw hinge integrate with the benchtopper. This is how i made it with no plans or design - i am defintely happy with what I made, but i can also see room for improvement. Leave a comment and let me know what you think!
