History lesson: These built-in cabinets are pretty phenomenal as they stand, but we like to dig a little deeper when the opportunity arises. ——————————— Like the antique table saw we posted last week, we had a few markings on these that inspired some sleuthing. Stenciled on the side of each is “Patterson & Shaw”. —————————— According to the “History of Pittsburgh and Environs Vol.1” by George T. Fleming, originally published in 1922, Samuel Patterson was “one of Pittsburgh’s foremost men in construction lines, received a practical education in the public schools of Pittsburgh, and took night courses at Duff’s Business College, then, while scarcely more than a boy, struck out into the business world.” —————————— He worked at one time at the Westinghouse Air Brake Co. before apprenticing as a carpenter. Patterson would turn his trade into a career, starting the Patterson & Shaw construction contracting firm with his partner. After the untimely death of Mr. Shaw, Patterson continued the business under the same name in deference for his partner’s memory. The firm is credited with having built “many of the fine residences of the city.” —————————— Samuel Patterson is also credited as one of the oldest members of the Builder’s Exchange and the @mbaofwpa. ——————————— Anyhow, that’s a long way of saying that these pine cabinets are pretty well built! (Check out more about them on our featured ineventory page. (In order of pics: $250 / $225 / $195) ——————————— #cjreuse #20YearsOfLessWaste #PittsburghHistory #americanhistoricalcompany #builtincabinets #linencabinet #wardrobe (at Construction Junction) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Trg5PhGXc/?igshid=x2p40c57kvnd

Got in this seriously cool and very vintage table saw last week. We’ve tried to find some more info on how old it might be (look at those linked leather drive belts!) but so far haven’t found much info. Seems to be late 1800 - early 1900s. ——————————— A plaque on the base says “Force & Briggs Agents Pittsburgh, Pa”, John W. Briggs and Frederick J. Force owned this Pittsburgh-based firm that sold new and used machinery. The company became Briggs Machinery Co. in 1902 (Pittsburgh was spelled without an h at the end from 1891-1911, so the plaque would seem to indicate this is pre-1891.) They were known for selling Kowalsky “Pittsburg” gasoline engines - John Kowalsky was a noted inventor and engine builder who had a shop located in Verona, PA. and also built boats and early airplanes. ——————————— Other than a few YouTube vids of those late 19th century Kowalsky engines, can’t find anything on this. Any woodworking historians out there?
