History of the Cable Cafe'
The Cable Cafe' is a steel frame building bolted to a cement base. The entire walls are is covered with used logging cable, mostly 2" "skyline" right hand lay, with a strip of left hand lay cable around the center. The gable ends are constructed of 1 3/8" and 1 1/2" cable. There is approximately 8,200 feet of wire rope welded to the channel iron frame of the structure. The weight of these walls is an impressive 26 tons.
Sandblasting removed the the rust from the cable and it was then coated with Polylite, a plastic covering. The exterior gable ends were left in their original rusty condition and coated with a clear acrylic. The inside gables were painted with a mixture of bronze powder and varnish. A very impressive building that is well worth the drive to take a look. We'll see you for supper soon.
