GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN -This little coffee table is super-cute. Hailing from the late 50s or 60s, the tapered wood legs are topped with pink laminate which has thin lines delineating a diamond pattern. The original bubble-gum pink has been faded by sun exposure to a pale, understated color.
this is my last "Ebay discovery" : a white "Horn Collection" coffee table on wheels
made of Baydur (a Polyurethane-Duromer patented by Bayer in the 70's)
a German fabrication with lines and shape typical of this brand of small cabinet and table
(Horn Collection still exists www.horn-collection.de but unfortunately no longer manufactures such products)
I think she will like very much between my 2 seats "4-4000" (design by RobinDay in 1970)
And the orange "Nesso" lamp adds just enough color to all ...
We decided to hike table mountain, it started out a very hot day, after making it to the first split in the path up the mountain, we took the wrong turn, and ended up walking along the mountain as opposed to up it (we were given the wrong instructions) so after a long tedious walk along and down the mountain, we had to get the cable car up to the top to get the view we were looking for.
I hate to write generic descriptions for multiple photographs i'm posting but having the ability to upload is very rare here in South Africa, so apologies for the lack of interesting descriptions for each photograph.
These are some of the photos from along the way.
This table is made in an edition of 50 by The Gallery of wonderful.
Measuring 200x90x76 its made from Chestnut, the same wood used for school desks back in the 1950's. In homage to the school desk, you will find a vast storage compartment hidden in the middle of the table, which is accessed by removing the two hand-cast stainless steel ink wells on the top. The table is sealed and matt varnished for protection.
Other tables have been designed by Martin Rowson, Gary Taxali and Keaton Henson. They will set you back £7250
This small side table was designed to fit into a small space at the end or arm of a sofa. This is why it is quite small for its small footprint. The splay on the legs helps with stability. The legs are wedged into rails which run in tapered slidind dovetail slots in the underneath of the tabletop. This locks the legs in, keeps the top flat and also allows it to be relatively easily flat packed. The legs are planned octagonal so it can be made without a lathe.

Halloween themed table lamp.
I used a simpe (non LEGO) table lamp with a simple socket and a switch and surrounded it completely with LEGO.
There's a black cat, a pumpkin, a (rainbow) ghost and a vampire castle.
It's built in a modular way, so that each side panel can be easily removed and replaced by any other motif when it's not Halloween any more.
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN--This is a lovely dining table in the vintage industrial style. An accordion-type metal piece unfolds to support the metal table-top. 135cm long, 89cm wide, 74cm tall.
Built it myself. 2 sheets of plywood. Foam and vinyl from Galaxy Fabrics. Suited speed cloth from Gambler's General Store.
Photo is taken in a former coal plant. The complex was closed in 1977 and except for a few roofs, the buildings are still intact. The mine shafts are located under the adjoining hills. Inside the buildings you will still find traces of the men who worked in the mines.

Oh the joys of the holidays!
My role in my house thanksgiving was table decorator. I made the place cards in less than an hour. All you need is a template from Microsoft Word, a hot glue gun, and a nature walk in the front yard :)

Round Dining Table
4th Quarter of the 19th Century
Narra
H: 31” (78 cm)

Contrary to belief, the tops of round tables are not cross sections of large tree trunks, but are cut from planks. When their diameter is very large, exceeding five or more feet, they are cut from the buttresses that support giant, century-old trees. Large round dining tables with a solid top are hard to come by, especially now that most Philippine forests have been logged over.
This dining table with a top made of a single piece of narra is seldom seen. The top is edged with an S-curved ogee molding going around a fillet molding which is bordered by an inner ovolo or concave molding. The circular table top support has a narrow half-round molding running around the bottom edge.
The top rests on a pedestal leg in the shape of a turned vase-like baluster resting on a drum to which three scrolled feet are attached. The body of the vase is carved with series of lobes, a wide reel forms the neck of the vase, while a quarter-round molding forms the lip. The drum has a ring at its top and bottom and four vertical half-round moldings are appliqued equidistantly in the space between each foot.
Each scrolled foot consists of a thick piece of wood with a complicated jigsaw outline of ogee curves and cusp that are enhanced by shallow carved scrolls in the Chinese manner. The design of the foot tacitly proclaims its maker to have been a Chinese artisan.
