THE RALEIGH TIPPER TABLE
In 1885 Richard Morris Woodhead and Paul Angois formed a small cycle manufacturing shop on Raleigh Street in Nottingham. By 1896 their small company had become the largest bicycle manufacturer in the world. They went on to produce motorcycles and even cars. Sadly UK production ceased in 2002. Whether your a transportation collector or simply had one just like this as a child, this piece casts the mind back to a year or so when life was simple, summers were long and laughter was abundant. Clearly now too big to ride it but never to grown up to enjoy it the Raleigh Tipper table will keep yourselves and friends young for a few more years.

The Tractor Wheel – SOLD
The same dynasty of farmers that brought you the “Sneaky Sack Truck” also supplied us with the raw material for our favourite and most testing upcycle to date.
As we proceeded to resurrect the giant object from its grassy grave, its shape and beauty revealed itself with each clump of dirt, moss patch and bramble we pulled from it. In that moment, a new and more fitting resting place for this old time farm yard work horse was conceived in my mind. Like mad scientists we scraped, sawed, hacked, axed, welded, sealed and polished until……………..it was ALIVE!!!
Tractor wheels are filled with salt water to add weight for traction and also act as an organic antifreeze in the winter months. This causes the oxidisation process to accrue at a quicker rate, in turn creating a beautiful autumn coloured rainbow effect in the metal as we brushed away the rust. Welding a cycler base to the underside and small stations to support the glass top have been done so to create the effect of floating. Achieving the aim of bringing the agricultural English style into the home in a big way.
