A buddy of mine is hot on picking up an 8' Frederick Willy table and is looking for my opinion. I never heard of them. From the photo it looks like an ok table. He says it is 3 piece 1" slate. I'll probably end up helping him move it and end up recovering it. Anything special I should know about these tables? There seems to be nothing in the archives about these. Are these tables any good?

I believe I also had the (dis)pleasure of working on one of these gems. Definitely a unique design, along with the fact that the side aprons were some kind of "custom" home job that were permanently nailed to the table. :rolleyes:

There was no way to access the edge of the slate once the slate was screwed down and level. I ended up having to staple the bed cloth to the wood surrounding the slate. A total PITA table :banghead: but it turned out OK :thumbup:

Jack that was a pretty nice job. That table looked sporty when you finished it.

The good news is my buddy has moved on....he is looking at a Brunswick where the owner is throwing all kinds of stuff in. TG!

Thanks for the help.
