I've been meaning to post a few more normal perspective shots of the the mystery table and while tending to that effort, I decided to flip the table up on its head and take a closer look at that all wood table extension rail a bit closer and also tighten up all the original slotted higher grade steel screws that I figured a good number of them could stand a tightening up and I was hopeful that in doing so, I could reduce some of that shaky, creaky behavior and I was very relieved to find that not a single screw had been stripped, and not any of the wood cavities that the screws went into showed any sign of damage. So I was able to very carefully and slowly get all of them to tighten with a most secure seating, So the good news is that the table now sits very solidly and soundly on the floor and feels strong enough to now employ it as the new home base of my giant sized mitre box that I started working on back when there was still snow on the ground here. I never got around to completely finishing it off by adding a bit more trim, but that was just to make it a bit more pretty. But I'll have some pics up of that as well when I can squeeze that task in here.
So back to the table and the title of the picture above. I did find an extremely faded inked stamp on the side of one of the rail sections. It was difficult to capture because of the ink's fading and in a tight spot to fit my camera into to take the pic. So the cruddy looking text in the middle of the tables legs, represents my best effort at the moment to try to boost the readability of it but its still pretty difficult.
So the company is out of Wisconsin in the town of...Watertown. They invented and smartly patented the mechanism back in the 1880s and it turned into a roaring business success and ended up being one of the top two table slides in sales volume and it was apparently the local and regional furniture makers from all over the States and Canada who all fell in love with the product's beauty and durability and purchased them to be used on their own expanding table designs. Almost unbelievably, they've managed to keep their business doors open to this day and only stopped making their all wood product line in the mid 1980s and now they feature exclusively, aluminum table rail systems.
So now we know who made the rails.
But who made the rest of it???
The best visual clues I can muster of the table's maker is some recurring numbers that were written with a grease pencil. The predominant number being 78/12. So that is likely their catalog number on the design. And that design seems to have some elements of the world famous British furniture designer and builder from the 1700s, Mr. Chippendale. He published a catalog of his designs and left open a business license to copy his designs so long as you've paid him his fee for the printed catalog. And there-after, you too could become the next Chippendale local craftsmen...or crafts-women. But I don't own the catalogs currently beyond the one or two that have been digitized and made available for free download. But I haven't found this table's design in any of those page scans so far. Maybe that number I mentioned is a Chippendale model number? The world may never know! :)
Cheers!

It's Christmas Eve - just! We've had a fabulous meal at Inglewood Manor over on the Wirral, and I'm uploading with the Muppet Christmas Carol on the other monitor.
All is as it should be. :D
The photo is of course a cracker on the table, and the camera was pinched from Laura!
Happy Christmas everyone!

Among the highlights of our day in port at Barcelona, Spain, was a visit to La Pedrera -- the Casa Milà apartment complex designed by legendary modernist architect Antoni Gaudà and completed between 1906-1912.
After exploring the building's rooftop terrace and attic loft, we headed down one level to The Pedrera Apartment. The unit was opened in 1999 as a permanent exhibition space and is a recreation of a bourgeois family's home as it would have appeared in the early 20th century. The original use of each room has been preserved, and the rooms are filled with period furniture and accessories.
Here, you can see a view of the dining room. The Pedrera Education site provides additional information on the apartment in the ''Residential Building'' section, including photos of the gallery/corridor and some of the rooms and decor.
Phil Manker creates a table with solid maple triangulated fins connecting the spun aluminum legs to the center ring and bottom disc, weighted with a steel cone. The circular glass top, with bullnose edge, sits on bronze spheres.
A series of similar tables are available to purchase. Please inquire!

For those following along, I had ordered the replacement legs a short time ago and took delivery of them this past Friday evening. So this morning, one by one, I put each of the new legs into the new bench vise and went to work on the final woodworking prep of each one by cutting the same notches and drilled hole in order to match up the original teak leg's joint details. All the work was quick and easy enough for me to do the chiseling needed and managed to "color between the lines", as it were. The next step was the trial fitting, which went off with zero drama and so I decided to snap a quick picture of it with its new table legs installed. They're made from red oak and my "I know a guy", did an outstanding job of both selecting the best matching grain of the wood to mate up nicely with the original grain pattern of the shorty legs...once I stain them up to color match them to the rest of the table. And he also did a great job of sanding them to thickness, instead of thickness planing them, which can lead to more tear out of the grain, Stroke sanding, a tool I was not yet familiar to me until I googled it, to discover more about this somewhat large and obscure woodworking tool was all about.
Also of note, the table is not yet in the kitchen as I still need to dissemble the old one in there and haul it down to the trash. And once that chore is out of the way, I can finally then move the new kitchen table in there and eat my tomato juice can in pieces! ...zoom in on the place settings, folks. Thar be Easter eggs! lol
Cheers! :)

#DiningTable - A nice expandable dining table is synonymous with comfort and ease. But in everyday life, it is difficult to establish his family to table. It is not uncommon for a breakfast on run only takes one in her kitchen. In these cases, a large dining table will not be of any use and instead clutter...
GONE - This is a sneak peak of a dining table we put together by pairing a**-kicking metal legs shaped like angel wings with a stained wood top. Ohhh yes, we can bring on biker chic too! Width 119cm depth 76cm height 76cm
Werribee Park mansion former home of Thomas and Andrew Chirnside and later it became a Catholic Seminary from 1922 until 1973.
The Chirnside brothers were early pastoralists in NSW and SA . The bulk of their pastoral properties were in the Western Districts of what became the state of Victoria. They had Mt William run in the Grampians from 1842. Others runs were soon acquired and the canny Scots made a fortune with runs along the Wannon River and near Camperdown and Skipton.
Thomas decided to settle at Werribee although he had 90,000 acres of runs near Camperdown and Skipton. He acquired land at Werribee in the early 1850s and eventually built a grand bluestone mansion on the property from 1874 to 1877. It had more than 60 rooms.
Brother Andrew made his
head base at Skipton. Once Werribee Park mansion was built Thomas moved into the mansion too. It was Thomas who donated land and money for the building of the Presbyterian church in Werribee. Thomas never married and suffered from depression. He committed suicide in 1887 and left his share of the freehold properties to his brother Andrew and to Andrew's sons. It is said that he loved Andrews wife and had wanted to marry her himself. His brother Andrew died just three years later in 1890.
Andrews sons lived in the mansion until 1922 when it was sold. It was the largest private mansion in Victoria.
