I built this as a dining table but noticed it would do double duty as a desk. The frame is built of heavy gauge steel and has 2 tubular cross braces with bolting ends. The solid top is made of 2″ x 12″ aged sugar pine.
60″ x 34″ x 30″ tall, approx 250 lbs, price $1,950 and available in other sizes, finishes, a steel top, etc.
I am starting on a new design this coming week and it’s based on a 60 French Industrial design. Dimensions will be 36″w x 12″d x 72″t, and I am making a 24″ wide version. Price should be in the range of $1,100 – $1,400, not sure yet.

Ellis Media Console Table w/Peruvian Walnut Top – $995
Here is the TV Stand I recently finished. It has a Peruvian walnut top with a shellac finish. And it doesn’t have doors which gets the price down. This piece would cost $995 and is 4′ x 20″ x 32″ tall. It would also work great as a kitchen island.
Finished today, has a shellacked mahogany top…
This new creation has a thick mahogany top with a shellac finish. It measure 40″ w x 20″ d x 18″ t and weighs a little over 100 lbs. The cabinet has two doors with cast iron latches, and is enclosed all the way around by a cloverleaf screen. Other features include a dark vintage patina on the steel, lots of iron rivets, 6″ cast iron casters, and a small hole inside the cabinet for A/V wiring if you want to use it for that. This piece is designed to function as coffee table or a TV stand with room for components below.
Priced at $1150
Here is a Manhattan coffee table, named after the bridge in NY. I wasn’t sure about the red color (which I modeled after the Golden Gate bridge) at first, but now that it’s finished, I love it! The hardwood top is aged white oak and has a waxed finish. It’s a simple design and has a familiar vintage look. Size is 40″ x 20″ x 19″ tall. Price is $795, or unpainted with a natural patina on the steel would be $695.
Working on a couple coffee tables based on my media console design. Hope to have one of them ready in about 10 days. Size is going to be 40″ x 20″ x 18.5″ tall. One will have the cabinet doors, and the other probably won’t. This would also work well as a low TV stand. They’ll have the same 6″ casters and will be uber heavy, about 125 lbs. Price will start around $795.
Now I just need to come up with a name for this design line! Here is a photoshop cut and paste of how it might look.
The other day I was looking at New York bridges and felt inspired to create a new design. I call this new piece the Manhattan table, named after the Manhattan bridge. It uses angle iron in a unique way, which lends itself to a strong structural design, while using less material. And I love the combination of cross braces, rivets, and bolts. It measures 11″ x 12″ x 23.5″ tall, has a raw steel patina, and a mahogany top with a dark vintage stain. Stay tuned for a Manhattan coffee table! This vintage industrial design would price around $350.
Here is a slightly altered Brooklyn design coffee table with heavier casters, aged hardwood, and an inset top. I already have plans for a completely new design based on old bridge architecture.
Here is a big console shelf I just finished for a client’s office. I managed to get some really big slabs of Honduran mahogany for the table and it came out pretty cool. It’s huge (70+ inches long and 18″ deep), weighed 130 lbs, and has 5 spoke casters on it.
I was recently contacted by an Indian company asking if I was interested in buying their furniture. The minimum order was a 20 foot container load. So I took at look at their catalog and was amazed at the prices. $100 for an end table that would take me a week to make. $225 for a dresser that would take me 2 weeks to make. I thought to myself, “holy shit, I should buy a container load and sell this stuff for dirt cheap!” I could even mark it up 300-500% and probably still sell it. But after some contemplation, I realized what a stupid idea it was. Over buying imported products has taken it’s toll on this country, as well as others. Some kid in India is probably working for $1 a day to make this stuff. And it’s fairly dangerous work too. I almost cut off my pinkie the other day. And I am very careful, poorer countries are far from that in my experience. And if I was to be selling this stuff, I’d be taking jobs away from other Americans like myself. I’ve been to just about all of the local industrial style furniture shops around town and many of them are selling these imports. And it looks pretty decent, but feels cheap to me, probably because they use thinner materials. A lot of the online retailers are doing the same thing. Hudson Goods is selling a cart that has the same picture from the Indian catalog. They use reclaimed wood too, but do I care if an India made table is made using reclaimed wood?
Kind of Ironically, I ended up hiring a European immigrant to help me out. He does great work, understands me, and the money stays in this country. Hey, it stays in this state! So if you care, you might ask the store “where does this come from?” Because odds are they took off the “Made in India / Thailand / Mexico / Indonesia / China” sticker. This might be my first political post, at least on this blog.
This is a new Industrial Dining Table design (Aug 2010). Prices start around $1,850, and I can customize this in many different ways.
Here are some pictures of a customer’s dining table and bench. Table measures 7.5′ x 3.5′ x 36″ tall and the bench is 61″ wide. Reminds me of a pub table I saw in London. The top is spruce with the Grandpa stain.
This vintage inspired 1940s French work desk offers simple, clean lines enhanced with side and back stylized diagonal supports. Solid and sturdy, the desk weighs in at 150 lbs – but glides anywhere smoothly with gorgeous five spoke locking iron caster wheels.
Desk workspace is hand crafted from aged solid white oak hardwood, with cool, deep gray steel details and supports. Makes an excellent computer or writing desk for any loft or apartment.
This versatile design can be tailored to suit your style. Mix and match walnut or mahogany desk workspace, alter the size, create a console table or kitchen island, remove the wheels, remove the drawers or add more, create a rust or polished chrome-like finish – the possibilities are endless.
More info or pictures available upon request. Lead-time for custom pieces is around 2-4 weeks.
This piece is priced at $1,350. Due to size and weight, desk ships freight. East coast shipping: $375. West coast: $300.
Details: Desk dimensions are 60″ x 24″ x 30″ tall. Drawers are 13.5″ wide and offer lots of storage space.
Tip: A more economical version of this piece costs about $895 and is 4′ x 24″ x 30″ without casters or drawers.
