Offering tables were an important part of ancient Egyptian religion. They were usually placed in the courtyards of chapels of tombs and were used in rites connected with the deceased. They often consisted of a simple thick slab of stone reminiscent of the shape of the hieroglyph hetep that signified offerings. In the middle of the table was usually a depiction of the food offered to the deceased: vegetables, fruit and meat. Tables bore inscriptions with the name of the deceased, which reinforced the effectiveness of the funerary offerings.

Table Cape area first settled and developed by the Van Dieman's Land Company in the 1820's.
A marine board was established for the nearby Port of Wynyard in 1868. The port had grown during the 1850' to cope with the burgeoning timber trade.
Mr C.B.M. Fenton, a former mariner, kept a light burning in the front window of his house to guide mariners during the night.
The board established two iron beacons at the mouth of the Inglis River in 1870. These were constructed by Mr William Peart, who later became Harbour Master.
After several shipping incidents in the area, Table Cape was examined by Mr J.C. Climie, a railway engineer, for its suitability for a lighthouse.
Table Cape is a spectacular flat topped promontory with a sheer drop to the sea.
Construction began and the tower and cottages were completed and in service in 1888. The tower was constructed of brick then, painted white. It has a circular steel stairway and a steel fly-over gangway to the door which is set above the below ground level base. The keeper's cottages were built of stone.
The design was by Huckson and Hutchinson of Hobart and built by a local builder, Mr. John Luck. The bricks came from Victoria as ballast.
Materials were brought to the site, from Wynyard 7 kilometres to the south, by bullock wagon.
Less than three weeks after the opening of the light the headkeeper's son, Bertie died at the age of 14 months.
The cause is not known, but it is the cause of a sad entry in the lighthouse log book.
"Wind south. A strong breeze and misty weather. Employed in the lighthouse and cleaning up about station. At 5.10 p.m.
Bertie Jackson, son of the head lightkeeper, departed this life aged one year and two months."
The undertaker struggled up from Wynyard on horse back with the small casket and after consultation with the clergy recommended that Bertie be buried near the lighthouse were his family could tend to his grave.
He was placed in a grave marked by a fuchsia bush. The bush has long since disappeared, but locals who knew the place have recently constructed a memorial.(Light houses of Australia)

Not much to see in this set; these are mostly photos I made for a project I'm doing.
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN--Hard to get a good enough photograph of this table--it combines vintage flair with a steampunk feel. Bonus: lazy susan built into the top!

My view yesterday for lunch.
I have been offline for a week cause the Internet price was 65 cents a minute. I just could not fathom paying that. I have had a blast all week. And I still have a week to go. This was my lunchtime picnic view yesterday.
ANSH: an outdoor table
Austin and I took off work early Thursday to head up to the Shining Rock wilderness area. We were planning on hiking in and camping for the night on Tennent Mountain to watch the Persiad meteor shower. Well, we decided to setup camp in the saddle just below the ridgeline on Tennent. But, we didn't get to see the meteors. This was the only shot of any sort. www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1476853822340017&l=7c... and it was with my iphone.
The night was spend in our tents listening to the wind and the rain pound down and around. Next morning we didn't get a sunrise either. lol But it wasn't raining and it did clear off. So we hiked out, drove up to the Linville Gorge and did a little hike out to the Chimneys on the Eastern rim of the gorge. We didn't get to the camp sites due to more rain, but I did get a few shots. Here is a pano of Table Rock on the way back to the car.
She was in High School yet but headed off to college. So we make this corner table together, hoping it would be useful in the years ahead. The three legs come off easily with a wrench. The triangular "table" on top could be used as a footstool underneath. Hard to believe that this table is over 30 years old and that it has lived in college dorms, apartments & rentals, but is now in her very own home, hundreds of miles from where we made it.

LEGO train table. Dimensions: 30" high, 3'x5' surface. I built three tables for my layout. 2x4 sides (a bit heavy in retrospect). Sleeves for PVC pipes in corners. Removable caps with levelers for the floor.
Update:
1) The levers on I chose are about 1/2" long. You might want longer "elevator" screws on the bottom if you need more leveling action.
2) the levelers will 'walk' themselves out of the inserts. I'd buy an extra box in case you lose any in tranport or at an event. The sleve will stay snug in the PVC, it's the screw/base that will unscrew itself.
Update 2:
1) caps don't come off very easily once weighted. Not a big deal but I didn't see them being such a snug fit
2) 3x5 size worked otu great for my minivan. Any bigger and I'd have to go to the roof.
Nothing fancy just an old rickety table stuck in the corner of the house.
Items I use for some of the photography indoors.
Black fabric, old junk, face mister,
Ulanzi lights, mirror, empty toilet paper roll, pill bottles, cardboard, and anything else I can think of.

After hosting a huge Christmas Eve party every year, my aunt and uncle have a quiet Christmas day dinner with a little less people (~50 vs. ~11).
