	Long and honorable tradition	1 Relevance	21 years ago	Monochrome	General discussion
	Long and honorable tradition As I understand it, for most of history, tables were just this: a couple of trestles and a loose panel, easy to knock down when you needed the space for some other purpose or had to escape marauding barbarians. When did the attached- legs thing become standard? Anyone?
	PS	1 Relevance	21 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	PS use the web. Search and ye shall find, don't think you need to resort to local megastore like HD, to getthings done ASAP. Rooms that take longer to finish always seem to look better...although a 62" TV is really gonna cramp the style no matter what you do. Sorry, I can't get past the thing, it's insanely big. But this is America, I guess. Stupid big is something we do well in this country...supersize me
	RE: Madsen and Schubell	1 Relevance	2 years ago	Herringbone	General discussion
	@bo Thanks for the info! Yes, the feed was done by Preben Schubell and he was inspired to tell his father's story and show his furniture by some conversations we had and by the research we all together had done over the preceding months. The thing is far from being complete, it doesn't answer some remaining questions but it is a fairly good overview.
	One of things I always have...	1 Relevance	16 years ago	flyingpatricio	General discussion
	One of things I always have... One of things I always have noticed is that a lot of the patina achieved on "antiques" is part of the heating sources they used through much of the years of it's lifespan. Coal and wood burning are extremely dirty. I know this firsthand seeing as I have lived in Victorian and even older homes much of my life. All the soot and grime that comes from those sources ends up in that patina as the piece ages. It is IMPOSSIBLE to replicate this without being able to tell the piece has been refinished. On the other hand the MCM pieces in most parts have not had to endure this dirty air as they've aged. They've just dealt with the standard particulates common in the average modern home. There would be no way for them to achieve a patina like a much older piece. So in saying, if you have a MCM piece in fairly poor to rundown condition it's not anywhere near as difficult to reproduce an excellent authentic refurb. On many pieces there isn't much of a patina to have to replicate...chairs tend to have a better chance of having a patina because of more hand contact. In fact I find it easy with the clean lines of MCM, granted I haven't messed with any tambour doors. The most important thing to remember is Wood is beautiful anyway it is. The best thing to do is preserve it the best you can and if that means refurbing a piece, at least you've breathed life back into for another 50 years.
	There is no way you are going	1 Relevance	10 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	Repair
	There is no way you are going to get anybody to take the case apart and then get it back together again. You can take the leg assembly off though. Are your ceilings tall enough that you could roll it out vertically? Or take it out a window and onto a cherry picker, or crane? Maybe call a piano mover. I think this sort of thing is their specialty, and this will weigh so much less than a piano!
	It is not a particularly	1 Relevance	10 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	Identification
	It is not a particularly early label. I am not sure when the DFC club ended, but I would guess the late 70s or 80s sometime. I would generally guess no earlier than the mid 1960s, but both of these dates can probably be refined with some research. You might ask Carl Hansen. And let us know here. There are plenty who are curious about this sort of thing as well.

	Square Rug.	1 Relevance	20 years ago	Brandon	General discussion
	I am trying to find a basic wool tan or beige square rug. Apoximately 6'6" Does anyone know of a place in the US where I can find such a rug or have a rug cut or made to a certain size. The only thing I have found is the FLOR rug tile. This will work, but I do not love the feel of these rugs. Thoughts?

	Could it have been part of a wall unit and those brackets on the bottom rested on a support rod between standards? I don't know much about how Danish wall units are constructed, that's just the first thing that popped into my head. But they also look like they're pine, in which case I would guess they were added later.
	thank you	1 Relevance	12 years ago	sonofeltopo	General discussion
	thank you i agree i just feel like its going to be quite a bit of work and i'm also quite a novice when it comes to stripping paint also have mixed feelings about the chair in general its kinda a love hate thing going on. i just bought it cause it was three dollars and i liked that it was a modern take on a windsor chair.
	Side pics	1 Relevance	13 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Side pics I was just in the finishing stages when these pics were taken. They are definitely teak, spent hours on them. The one unfortunate thing, the paint got in the grain and I couldn't get it out without wreaking the wood, so that's why they are stained the darker colour. cheers
	Cool chairs.	1 Relevance	13 years ago	bj	General discussion
	Cool chairs. Seem american office furniture to me (lobby chairs) and are indeed derived from thing like the barcelona and the kjaerholms. Casting on the feet seems a bit rough, wich indicates lesser quality. Foam seems to have gone on the seat.
	.	1 Relevance	15 years ago	cada	General discussion
	. Seems such a shame, as this sort of thing leaves a bad taste. They go on to say that George Nelson was their 'inspiration'. The company is actually called Kirch. I think it's cynical, but the nature of 'search/key words' has fed this sort of name-association opportunism. Just look at eBay
	.	1 Relevance	15 years ago	HPau	General discussion
	. yeah for the last bit of polishing you need the soap and the mop for a mirror finish and room to move the pieces around, not so easy on a bench grinder, the workshop here has a wide tool and cutter grinder thing that is handy but it gets really hot and dirty.
