| Opposite of my thoughts... | 1 Relevance | 22 years ago | mwood5 | General discussion | |
| Opposite of my thoughts... ...I'm going to keep the orange Knoll pads intact as they've still got tags, etc. But I do want the fiberglass chairs and metal base to look correct. I'm normally not one to refinish things. I collect vintage guitars and drums...I LOVE that worn patina, but it's a little different when you have dinged up fiberglass. I like getting fiberglass splinters even less than breathing fiberglass particles when sanding. later, m | |||||

| Good mooring Mark, Beautiful sunrise! Love those clouds that just hang there. Is that a pair of dinghies in the foreground? Or is that robert1960 in one of his smaller boats? It's still pre-dawn dark out west. SDR is not even up yet. He is probably still sleeping one off after another wild night in San Francisco. | |||||
| Need help to ID a teak sideboard | 1 Relevance | 4 years ago | DCNZ | Identification | |
| I have a plinth base sideboard that might be a simple ID for someone, unfortunately not me as I can't find anything on it. It's a bit stained and dinged up but I hope it will come up nicely with a bit of tlc. it's 1920 long, three drawers and sliding doors with tapering triangular shaped handles. Any help would be great Thanks Dave Attachment: 1842365034.jpg Attachment: 1842365045.jpg Attachment: 1842365052.jpg | |||||

| ... palette knife. Accurate positioning is a bit tricky as the glue acts as a lubricant at first and the mounts want to slide as pressure is applied. Avoid excessive clamping pressure so as not to starve the joint. Before the squeeze-out sets up, smooth it into a +/-1/16"-radius fillet and clean up the rest. I'd be curious to hear what your relative has to offer regarding adhesives. I've used PC-7 to adhere about a dozen shock mounts to my ES670 and DCMs over the years with zero failures. PC-11, OTOH, failed within a year. I have no idea why. Worked great on my ... | |||||

| @lexi, I don't know anything about the socioeconomic status of Traleenies these days as we only spent the night there on our way to dingle. The few we met seemed just lovely and the Ashe Hotel was nice enough, too. Things here in the US are, well, you know, not exactly great right now. If he doesn't manage to kill us all in the next couple of days, though, things may actually start to improve! Speaking of insults, some of our media have taken to calling a new, highly contagious strain of the COVID virus the "British variant." I've read that some of those hav ... | |||||
| RE: Weird upholstery choices | 1 Relevance | 7 years ago | objectworship | General discussion | |
| I actually tend to prefer unorthodox colors and patterns that flirt with bad taste.. this reminds me though.. years ago on Thomasville’s dealer net there was a video of their most seriously terrible upholstery atrocities that had been special ordered by decorators, I mean like the most horrible, worst stuff I’ve ever seen.. collage fabrics and tassels and brush fringe and skirt tape and dingleballs and on and on and on. I’ve looked for it on YouTube but I can’t find it, and now Thomasville is out of business, shoot. | |||||

| Knoll Credenza restoration question | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | clarktherobot | General discussion | |
| I am restoring a Knoll Credenza that I found for dirt cheap on Craigslist. Unfortunately, it was in pretty bad condition with alot of dents, dings, scratches and blemishes. I tried to use Howards Restore a Finish (walnut) but it only made it slightly better and the blemishes are still very noticeable. I am wondering if I can sand the laminate top and doors and refinish using Howards (or another stain)? Has anyone had any luck doing this? Any advice you guys can give me would be much appreciated. Thanks so much! http://imgur.com/a/MzQOO | |||||

| ... most, I have attached a few of the ones that I have documented. 2. you will have no issues lightly sanding-out the dings on the edge-banding. Use 150, then 220 grit paper, or you could probably just use 220. Note, if the table was finished with anything other than oil, you may need to completely sand off that finish from the edgebanding for the oil finish that you are adding to present as an even color. My Gudme table has wood sliding mechanisms underneath, but I recently redid an unmarked table with the same metal slides as yours seems to have, and exac ... | |||||

| ... a light sanding and then application of RAF has been successful for me in the past for walnut, oak, and teak. Low tannin content of rosewood and the limited amount of rosewood in my house means I have not tried this with rosewood. I do like RAF in walnut applied to both teak and walnut, as thing seems to really bring out the grain in both. I avoid colored RAF if the piece has dings or nicks, as the color builds up in the dings and looks awful. That said, if a piece has significant dings and scratches, I will steam these out, which requires removal of all ... | |||||
| Kai Kristiansen (?) chairs in need of some TLC | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | frnturelvr | General discussion | |
| I purchased these chairs yesterday (Kai Kristiansen?) for my home and I could use some advice on how best to give them some TLC. The wood frames are nice and tight with only a few minor dings. The finish is pretty bad though - they're all dry throughout and are in different places dirty and discolored (see pictures). Any general suggestions for how I might revitalize these without having to completely refinish them (I'd like to avoid that if possible)? The person I bought them off of suggested just hitting them with some steel wool and some kind of oil (whic ... | |||||

Previous owner was a picker and threw on PU haphazardly in order to sell quickly. So there are drip marks on the right side, bubbling on the top, and drips at the tips of the pulls. 2. The LEFT cabinet door has wood epoxy that needs to be recovered with veneer. 3. The hinge joints are not original on the LEFT cabinet door (already ordered replacements) Other than that its in good co ... | |||||
