	I believe	1 Relevance	17 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	I believe I believe you're referring to Sketch-Up by Google. It's not THE easiest thing to get a handle on, but I was able to bang out a few ideas in an evening, so it can't be terribly difficult.

	Speaking of smash and grab If I was into that sort of thing, Lucifer, it would be at a Herman Miller or Knoll showroom, not at Alphaville's!!!

	Yes I wouldn't do anything more than wax it If you want it slightly darker, get a tinted wax staining or varnishing could be disastrous! it's such a lovely thing, I'm insanely jealous 😉

	If anyone wants to have a go ... If anyone wants to have a go at making such a thing I'd like to see the results. I'm going to try rolling it into shape on the weekend before I put the effort into full size technical drawings.

	I of course would as well, bu... I of course would as well, but cannot even come close to affording it. If I could, trust me, I would do that, but some of us who admire and enjoy the classic design have to make do when we can't afford the real thing.

	Aha Surely the wings are intended as headrests; there are of course plenty of precedents in earlier upholstered chairs -- an "English thing," perhaps ?

	Looks like more of a found-object or tramp art kind of thing. “Potential Ernest Race Chair” is a bizarre assertion
	Heh Tulipman, that is a good karma story	1 Relevance	18 years ago	dashes	General discussion
	Heh Tulipman, that is a good karma story Stories like that (and I've had plenty myself) are what I have to keep reminding myself of when I start getting anxious about "missing out" on something. There have been so many times that I've picked up real scores even after stuff has been picked over and over by others. The thing is that not everybody is looking for the same thing, and clearly not everybody can recognize everything. It's definitely an interesting culture, this thrift store/flea market thing - I'm not a dealer but I sometimes wonder if the people at the stores think I am because of how often I go there - truly I do it for pleasure and education - it's like my classroom (and this is my study hall, lol). I'm slowly replacing all my random furnishings with MCM, and I'm definitely on a thrift store budget, and will stepwise work my way up, trading up as I go along. It's fun as hell!! Too bad I can't make a living doing this - although if I did this for a living, I wonder if it would still be fun? Riki, I did go to one of those mall type antique shops, it was just overwhelming - I'm used to the needle-in-the-haystack situation and when I walk into a place that's just wall-to-wall treasures, I nearly black out, lol. Also, at least in my area, the antique stores seem to really focus on antiques, hardly any MCM at all - and I'm not sure why, whether it sells fast or they just don't realize that it's hot. :shrug: There were a handful of MCM things though, a Juhl table, a (blanking) tray table - and it was so fun to actually handle them and see the real deal. But the prices... oye, just not used to that ($800 for the Juhl, and it was one with (ugh!) woven cane (and we already know how I feel about that...). On the other hand, I got that Brown-Saltman table I posted about in another thread at a little antique shop that mostly had older stuff, but this one table was like the orphan there, so I had to take it home. It cost more than my usual budget for such things, but it was so unusual and I'm nearly certain it's a John Keal design, so, it had to come home with me. Now, if only I weren't running out of space! I think if I had a warehouse I'd be able to fill it up in a month.
	joshlamiel	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	joshlamiel I think the dates are still pretty much the same as we had arrived at earlier. The 1956 bases and the embossed double triangles of Summit Plastics is a common and reasonable overlap. Assuming the 56 base is original to the shell, that is the big key in nailing the date. But how BIG are the Summit double triangles? In my way too detailed notes, I have the Early Summit double triangle chairs date range to be from 1955 to 1959. But there were larger double triangles on the earliest chairs in that range, and smaller double triangles on the later shells. No specifics beyond that. Because that would be too obsessive, right? Then in 1960 or so, the Summit shells change to the embossed circle S. Forgive me. It's an illness. PS It is possible that the shells were not original to the low H bases, but they feel right to me, in spite of the re glued mounts. (The pair thing, the age/wear thing on the parchment shell, it all seems to add up.)
	paulanna and Who that	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	paulanna and Who that Pauleann and who's that Now who is the mature one!!!! both of you are acting like childest 8th graders ..... Who's That.... I guess the only way you can see your name on this forum is by being the hall monitor and reporting people to the Pincipal. I have not seen one thing that you have contributed on this thread .. other than reprimand me for bashing the stupid statement that Pauleann made . So So Sorry i did not get the wedding , weather, and Coach umbrella inside comments . For that I am dumped on by the likes of you. Pauleann I will not apologize again to you for my un approved adjective a bout nazis, This is not Don Imus, Al sharpton. Jess Jackson, Issac Washington, where you think people should be censured In Our Country we do have freedom of speech you were not called a nazi, a nazi symphthizer, or any thing associated with the German Third Reich you simply chose to fill in the blanks and make up what you wanted too. I could have said the Hi way Patrol and I am sure some one would have been offended (for that i am sorry ) I enjoy this forum, for someone like Whos that to say i am a drag on it that is forum that is fine I am not going to write Patrick and Alix like some do and complain but for g-ds sake maybe you can make some contribution other than trying to keep me in line .
	I once had a sale myself and	1 Relevance	12 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	I once had a sale myself and two guys got into a very heated shoving match on my front lawn over an antique dresser, lots of loud shouting included. When I discovered auctions years later, I was so happy--none of that kind of thing went on (thought plenty of other super annoying stuff did and eventually that got to me, too). Anyway, yeah--the list thing sounds like a good idea but it would depend on the first person to show up, I guess, or the people running the sale would have to have the foresight to do it. There was a dealer in these parts who was so anxious to get a better look at what was in an estate sale that he climbed a tree the night before so that he could see into the windows. Then he fell out of the tree and broke his leg. I'm not making this up. Another time I was waiting (im)patiently in line to get into a tiny house after the sale had just started and a very shady dealer I knew arrived and said to the person in charge, "My partner's already inside, could I go in?" and the person fell for it, of course. There was a massive group eye roll among those still waiting in line.
	Riki Riki Riki .... you ...	1 Relevance	18 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	Riki Riki Riki .... you ... Riki Riki Riki .... you know a lot about furniture,and i think you answered your own questions, This kinda crap happens all the time, every now and then you find the acorn of all great pieces, a lot of times you have to go through all the junk to find the great one, so do not be pissed at your self, it could have just as easy been the one you were looking for as it could have been a fake, The best thing to do if you are really passionate about MCM is read up on all the main designers of the 50s 60s 70s cause those are the main players, They are timeless and collectible and you can never really get hurt buying there stuff, some of the lesser knowns are hard to follow, I hate to say it but I am considered a expert in the field of MCM furniture, and I tell everyone you never go wrong collecting the great designers, and do remember there is more to this deal than just a Eames Bucket chair, or a 670, lounge chair, I love George Nelson, Harvey Probber, Isamu Nakeuchi Arne Jacobsen, Verner Panton, Florance Knoll,Warren Planter,Milo Baughman, Edward Wormley for Dunbar, Mies, Alexander Girard, LeCarbosia, Paul Evans, and Greta Grossman, I have multiple pieces from each designer, I live with them everyday as they are in my home and collection, and the great thing , I not only can bore the hell out of any house guest or impress them , one or the other, as i know almost everything about them and the year they designed the piece of furniture and who manufactured it, The reason i tell you this is cause once you get hooked on these guys you can not stop ! as it not only becomes a passion it becomes a obsession and you want to buy every book you can afford to find out something interesting about them. but it is by far the most fun i have ever had, cause it keeps you always searching for the best of the best, one other thing always visit 1st dibs as it can be a valuable source for finding cool things,
