It begins by sourcing the best quality cast iron bases. We focus on bases from Western Europe & from the period of the late 19th century to the early 20th century. We focus on the shape, style & the quality of the casting; the bases come from a variety of sources, some were used as machine bases from factories & workshops & others for farm equipment. We begin by sandblasting the bases, this removes years of dirt, grease & very often many bad paint jobs! We then burnish them, this removes any remaining paint & smooths any coarseness from the sandblasting process. After a good dust & clean the bases are given several coats of clear lacquer, - for this we use an acrylic lacquer, the same type used in the manufacturing & restoration of cars. Once the bases are complete its time to move onto the tops & for our table tops we use a 3 plank planed Idigbo hardwood. Idigbo is the same wood used on lorry beds & in other industrial settings & is known for its toughness as well as its interesting grain. The 3 planks are cut & planed & then clamped & glued into place. After everything has set the top is then sanded. Now the piece that connects the top to the base is made & the decorative Idigbo skirt finishes it off. The table top & skirt now has its first few coats of hard wax oil - we use a premium natural hard wax oil by the German company Saicos. As well as being extremely hard wearing, it is also waterproof & allows the wood to breath but at the same time reduces swelling & shrinkage. The final touch on our tables is the protective steel edging, we use a 3mm thick hot rolled steel banding made locally in Gloucester which is cut to size, lacquered & fitted in our workshop. The table top now has its final coats of hard wax oil & then base has its final coat of clear lacquer & its now complete!
