Product Information

Table Skittles, Bar Skittles, Pole Skittles or Devil Amongst the tailors is a popular pub game all over Britain.

The Life Guards did their job so effectively that it was likened to a skittle ball ploughing through the skittles. The worn patina of the table positively glows under the silky surface, a testament to more than a century of bringing great joy to families and friends. They regularly collaborate with local community groups, design professionals and place people at the heart of everything they do. I was lucky enough to have some offcuts of Mahogany which have done the job, though strictly speaking the pins shown here are a little too stout for serious league play.In the rare example where a two-life turn produces two draws, house rules apply but it is suggested that the next turn simply carries on in the standard two-life fashion. In 2009, after years of collecting, Andrew Silla and his wife Grace began to work privately with clients from their residence in Southern Maryland. A game of great skill for serious pub competition or just good old fashioned fun for children and adults. Many of the traditional games which have been a part of our pub culture for generations are in serious, perhaps even terminal decline.

Unless you have the experience and tools for wood turning, the pins are always going to be a tricky job. Built in 1504 by Prior Thomas Docwra, St John’s Gate was the south gateway to the Priory of Clerkenwell, the headquarters of the Knights of St John of Jerusalem. They had a jig to hold all of the candles and they taped and fused them with match that holes punched in the piping at the right place to go over the prime of the candles.

Two pub tables in American cherry and maple and American walnut and ash were created for the Wallpaper* Handmade Exhibition at Milan Design Week 2012. The one I had was far too light for the job, but I got round this be filling the wide cavity with a generous quantity of lead solder. The four candles (Tailors) were all fused together and as they were the same, burnt down at the same rate, with the centre on igniting the mine (Devil). In the middle of the left hand side of the base (as the player looks at it) stands a pole about three feet high connected to which is a swivelled chain with a a wooden ball at the other end suspended at same height as the skittles.Many of the pubs in Newark have a Devil Amongst The Tailors table, the result of a now folded local league. The game's base, a simple yet elegant mahogany frame, stands on legs that are both turned and tapered, culminating in ball-turned feet. The troops came among the protesters in a way that was likened to a skittle ball ploughing through skittles.
