| Just bear in mind | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | william-holden-... | General discussion | |
| Just bear in mind --as you're trying to separate the base-- that it needs to be pulled directly UP, on the axis of the rod. That rod won't move. Try to grasp the nylon washer with pliers, and see if it will come out. It should -- at this point, the only thing holding these elements together should be dirt & inertia. (WD40 might help, can't hurt.) | |||||

| Wild I've said the same thing myself LRF. For the past year and 1/2 I've watched these show up on the regular. They must have had a high production run. I expect more to comeout of wood work too. Glad I've held off this long. Too bad the rarer Nelson clocks don't hit the market this often...you never know. | |||||

| RE: Recently acquired? | 1 Relevance | 7 years ago | waffle | General discussion | |
| I remember..... someone on DA back in the day was a heavyweight Braun expert. I have come across something that I think is pretty high on alot of collectors wish lists, an original ET 55/2 calculator (the white one). I am trying to research the darn thing but there is a dearth of info out there, or maybe I am just a knucklehead. I'll add a pic at some point.... | |||||
| RE: Possible Yngve Ekstrom Pastoe Chair? | 1 Relevance | 6 years ago | lexi | Identification | |
| @havertz. A side view would give a lot of information; however at this point in time I would say it looks like a Folke Ohlsson chair for Dux. The one thing that is bothering me though is the seat shape, but this may have been a later re- upholstery job? Edit; on reflection Alf Svensson is a more likely contender for designer. | |||||
| Every job asks for a | 1 Relevance | 16 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| Every job asks for a different thing. I needed a material I could expose the ends of, here -- so solid stock seemed the thing. And my limited shop meant I needed something already surfaced on four edges (S4S). Identical width and square edges were crucial if the pieces were going to be well glued. There's an 1/8" brass rod inserted from the bottom, held up by a small recessed pan-head screw, and passing through short nylon bushings at each intersection. The wood had to be drilled before assembly, of course. As I wasn't able to drill each plank all the way through with my small drill press -- and because the accurate location of the hole at both ends was vital -- I drilled a 1/4" hole at each end, with a smaller bore beyond, meeting in the middle, and inserted nylon bushings (sold as "spacers). To get all surfaces of the wood finished easily and adequately, I varnished the ends of the blocks before gluing up the panels. You can see the light reflecting off the end of the piece in the photo below, taken before the faces were sanded and finished. Simple isn't always easy ! But it's fun to solve the problems. I expect to make more pieces using this "simple" hinge . . . | |||||
| big misunderstanding!!! | 1 Relevance | 23 years ago | cedric | General discussion | |
| big misunderstanding!!! So first betty, what I meant in the first part of my previous post is that the fact that people can "forget" the objects they use is not necessarily a bad thing. It can be done on purpose. It just depend on the objects... Design is in my opinion a matter of functionnality AND esthetic. The thing is that you have to find the good balance between these 2 aspects according to the product you have to create. Of course I´m really attentive to esthetic in design. Or else I would have chosen another job. But you can´t design everything in a sculptural or playfull way. Just because design doesn´t only concern furniture, lighting and tableware. I don´t know which would be the best example... Let´s talk about public toilets (extreme example-I never worked on such a project, and don´t really want to do so, but maybe once I´ll have to... you don´t always choose). Somebody designed each of the ones you used. Would you have appreciate them to design that in an Alessi-playfull style??? I´m not sure... I reassure you, there are many things I love in the Alessi collection... But if you go to some public toilets, I guess you would prefere to do it discreetly, without a crowd looking at you as the one who use the "strange flashy thing". Thereafter, it also depends on what is your conception of good design. Only the style? What is for you a well designed product : a chair, or the bic-pen which has been used unconsciously to draw it and all its competitors, to write the articles about those chairs and to fill and sign the cheque you give when you buy them??? I personnaly don´t even want to know if one is better than the other, just because it is impossible to compare products centred mostly on functionnality with ones centred mostly on esthetic. And then, Koen, I´ve been really surprised by your misunderstanding concerning my post, mostly because I really agree with you concerning this topic... So I read once more my last post and, I admit it, I was not clear at all concerning this point. So, concerning the term "dictatorial" I used, it didn´t describe knowledge (I didn´t write it, and mostly I NEVER EVER THOUGHT THAT). No, for me knowledge brings freedom and independance. What I (clumsy) wanted to express, is that this kind of education can easily turn into a kind of mind-dictature if it starts to be taught in a too "systematic" way. The "lessons" could then become : "what people must buy/what people must not buy" without letting people the opportunity to build there own opinion. | |||||

| Do you have a rubber mallet? | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Spanky | Repair | |
| Do you have a rubber mallet? That's the best thing for knocking apart loose joints. You can start with light taps and work your way up to more serious whacks. Just alternate opposing joints so you don't end up exerting too much force on the ones you're not working on. | |||||
