	Is good design conservative design?	1 Relevance	15 years ago	HPau	General discussion
	As Wordworth (or someone) said "tis the conservative who chops the mouldered branch away"...Did anyone see the post about Avant garde design on the Blog? If the ethical thing is to preserve resources is there room for that sort of production? Should there be? Is it time for designers to hae a radical rethink about what they do, why and who for?
	Did you google "reborn"?	1 Relevance	11 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	Did you google "reborn"? While it's an apt name for a line of recycled furniture, it's also an anime thing and the name of a very popular doll company that makes very lifelike newborn infant dolls for the adult collector. I'd ditch that name real fast if it were mine.
	Apologies if I'm on the wrong	1 Relevance	11 years ago	afridih	General discussion
	Apologies if I'm on the wrong forum guys. To Spanky, I guess you're right that no furniture will last you a lifetime. I just want it to last as long as possible and I think forking out a little bit of extra money is the way forward. I find the same thing with clothing, shoe shopping, electronics etc Maybe I will just buy from Crazy Eddy...
	I don't believe there is any	1 Relevance	12 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	General discussion
	I don't believe there is any direct way to know. You would have to find some indirect way of knowing. AP Stolen went out of business fairly early, so that puts a hard end date on the window. If it was purchased in the USA, for instance, that probably eliminates nearly the whole first decade, just because Danish Modern wasn't a big thing for about that much time.
	Many thanks M_Dennis87!	1 Relevance	12 years ago	aviilu	General discussion
	Many thanks M_Dennis87! I think you're right I have to start the whole thing all over. I googled the pigtails you mentioned and I think this is what happened with me. But at least I will can strip both the leaves and the top in one go and aim at one uniform finish. You said you did not recommend Citristrip. What type of a stripper would you use instead? I actually did find some Arm-R-Seal wipe on poly at home. Just need to get Waterlox then.
	Leif, buy a Dexter.	1 Relevance	12 years ago	tktoo	General discussion
	Leif, buy a Dexter. The venerable old chrome-plated standard that's designed to be used with a straight edge. It's what I started out with and what I still occasionally use. If you're gonna cut fewer than 50 mats a year, there's no need to spend a lot of money on yet another thing to store. And when you get one, I'll turn you on to the tricks.
	Awesome chair	1 Relevance	13 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Awesome chair That thing is rugged and badass. #cowboyeames What did you spend on it? I just acquired my first few Naugahyde shells (I think some are interesting and others garish) and find them to be pretty comfortable. I love good beat up versions of objects I own/cherish.
	wow interesting....	1 Relevance	13 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	wow interesting.... The legs are triangle shaped, but your spot on with Hans Wagner shape, on the skirt. It does have the bolt tighting tool attached under neith still. Good thing I found this out now, other wise I would have been to nervous to refinsh the top. That u very much, more research for me
	I agree with pirx pilot	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	I agree with pirx pilot Besides, "Option 4" is way more fun too. The great thing about searching in the thrift shops and fleas and garage sales is that you don't know what you're even gonna want until you see it. Then it becomes wonderfully obvious when you find it. (Looking "open-endededly" also increases the odds of success quite a bit!)
	.	1 Relevance	14 years ago	onno	General discussion
	. Hi Simon, me too I don't claim to be right always and everywhere, if so I would be a fool. 🙂 We just have to realise that there is in fact no superior reference without any doubt, even the funitureindex is sometimes wrong in clear attribution. So we all know, to err is human, and that's a good thing! In this particular case I think you are right, it seems to be designed by Hugo Frandsen for Børge Søndergaard.
	Threads get	1 Relevance	14 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Threads get lost easily when not addressed every day. And what directs a new poster to the appropriate thread -- when the easiest thing to do is start a new one ? Perhaps we're looking for a "column" or department -- in other words, a new heading on the bar above ? How many new posters take the time to read the forum rules ? Just thinking out loud . . .

	. Tung oil? Maybe, just did a couple of quick searches and some people do you use it, this link is interesting though, perhaps you could just strip the coat with thinners and then do it yourself, it might not have the look of a glossy spray coating but if the yellowing and peeling is inevitable perhaps thats a good thing. http://www.stonecaretechniques.com/36_m.htm
	I often visit Housing Works stores	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Tulipman	General discussion
	I often visit Housing Works stores OMG-they're as busy as a mall store at Christmas time.Fierce comptetition.I have never had much luck there,and the most frustrating thing is to find a beautiful hand tailored suit coat and no trousers.
	Heath	1 Relevance	15 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	Heath Nothing too enlightening about Future Shock; I just mentioned it because your comment about "too much choice" reminded me of the one thing I remember from the book: Toffler's discussion of overchoice, which made a big impact on me for some reason (although I've since decided that the condition is always temporary, so it's not a big deal).
	.	1 Relevance	15 years ago	HPau	General discussion
	. The second cycle thing seems a bit redundant, with the collectors market the way it is that pretty much occurs anyway. I'm relaxed about it though, paint away kiddies, life is short and they're not high craft or anything grand. But if there was a destructive child anywhere near a Scimtar chair I'd have to take action though, tazer?
