	That's brilliant Koen.... That's brilliant Koen. Thanks for that. I'll have to roll my sleeves up this weekend. Precisely the sort of thing this site is great for!

	. SDR has more experience than me, turning, mold making and bent wood is more my thing, did I mention my workshop floor was attacked by white ants? It was heart breaking but it will hopefully be fixed soon. I would suggest having a look at the James Krenov books, they are modest but not in any way weak descriptions of how to work, hard to explain. Personally I've never thought much of mitres, if a solid quatersawn dowelled carcass was good enough for him it should be good enough for your project. A butt joint can look really fine if everything else is done well too. Do you have any sketches? Racking is the big thing to avoid, There are ways to make things far simpler for yourself if you are prepared to use knock down fittings. Jalk, Wanscher etc used them and their furniture is still sound after 40 or 50 years, threaded inserts are fine if you use good quality ones in hardwood and use some supporting pins, Ikea don't do this so theirs fail sooner rather than later. Cross dowels are my favourite, this is a ghastly image but perhaps you can imagine a dark timber with brass fittings and the barrel turned with the screw driver slot facing inwards, there are much much better examples of how it can look, I just can't seem to find any right now. Link to another book you might find handy, its a good one and should be in your library. http://www.amazon.com/Classic-Joints-Power-Tools-Yeung/dp/1579902790

	bing bing! Also called a wood grenade. I use a variant of this all the time. It is a great way to split wood. This one is particularly attractive. No idea why it is bronzed. I'm keeping it as a "thing"

	the world of chairs OK I'm a newbie in your world of chairs and I'm just reading about the whole Yugoslavian knockoffs of danish design thing. So basically the chair has no particular value but the seller won't let it go for what I proposed. thanks for your help so far !

	In a sense, yes, I paid... In a sense, yes, I paid about $300 for each chair and the fact is the damages are minor, and that's why I lean towards keeping them. But the whole thing just doesn't feel right, especially with the idea of getting ripped off!!
	well	1 Relevance	14 years ago	waffle	General discussion
	well I have had tremendous luck w/ greyhound. Cheap, fastish and MOSTLY gentle. They have only ever broken one thing of mine. Otherwise I ship via UPS but pack like CRAZY. UPS is less gentle than greyhound, in my own opinion.

	looks like one of the vintage reproductions to me. For one thing, it appears to be missing the skirt along the undersurface of the table where the chair backs would meet when tucked under. All of the copies that I have seen are missing the skirt.

	James, James, Yep, I did the very same thing...got on my knees to check the settee. They seem to be the only things in the library that have labels. There are a few of the stools about, but you're right...there used to be a lot more. Too bad all the bases are black...never really cared for black tulips. fm

	thank you so much LRF. I... thank you so much LRF. I am really hoping that the chair is comfortable though. I would have to pay 600 Swiss Francs, which is around 500. Thats very pricey for me but if the chair is comfortable might be worth it. I really like the look so thats a good thing. Will report back with a picture If i bought it...

	Is the Danish Furniture	1 Relevance	10 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	Identification
	Is the Danish Furniture Control sticker original, or did someone just slap that on there because they felt it was somehow deficient in marking? If it is orginal, it would indicate a no earlier than ____ date. But I've never seen such a thing slapped on a Wishbone chair, and it does not convince as original based on the photos so far.

	This has to be one of the best things I've ever seen on eBay... I think the only thing that'll top it was the ZipLoc bag that someone was selling as a "waterproof cellphone case." http://cgi.ebay.com/VTG-HERMAN-MILLER-EAMES-CHAIR-PAD-KNOLL-MID-CENTURY-MOD-/200624727123?pt=Antiques_Furniture&hash=item2eb62a6453#ht_500wt_1098
	Bertoia Bar stools (demand for originals)	1 Relevance	16 years ago	terryt	General discussion
	Help... I would love to get input from anyone who knows if there is much demand for the polished chrome bar stools? Since there are a lot of knock offs out there I wasn't sure if there was much demand for the real thing. Also if paying 250.00 each for the authentic Knoll is too much. Probably would resell them if I aquire. May come with the chair seat pads only. Whadddaya think? Thanks very much!
