the game is called daddlums.

 

the table is about 24" wide and high to the playing surface. length is about 65" but ther is room to move as this is almost an extinct game and the customer will make his own set of rules.

 

i've been commissioned to make the table so it will pack away in a box for a courier but it must be stable enough when erected to not move too much.

 

it's played in a similar way to northamptonshire skittles as in you throw 3 cheeses at the pins from a set distance.

Having looked at the picture - that comes from about 5 miles from where I grew up, and where Mum still lives. Vigo is a funny place though.

small world isn't it...

 

if your'e ever up that way again soon alec i would much appreciate some photos of that table from different angles as these seem to be the only two that exist on the net and being unable to drive i can't see me visiting it...

 

don't go out of your way though mate.
