	spice carousel?	1 Relevance	16 years ago	william-holden-...	General discussion
	spice carousel? Sounds like a "spice carousel" might be the thing you desire-- a turn of the dial dispenses a 1/4 teaspoon. It's no beauty, but it eliminates the need to unscrew lids, and is mountable to hang under cabinets.

	dude, the fact that nobody... dude, the fact that nobody here can tell about must surely mean that it is an obscure prototype indeed (or that one of us has silently gone and purchased the sucka behind your back). I invoke rule #1 of shopping: if a)you like it, and b)it's not significantly more $ than a non-"designed" version of the same thing, and c) you need one--JUST BUY IT.

	james There you go even Vitra the holy grail changes things up when they see fit, nothing surprises me everyone wants to make things better and more efficient If you want the original on any thing from Knoll, Herman Miller, Vitra, you will just have to buy the 50 year old ones at wright auctions.

	I can see the (scant) humour... I can see the (scant) humour and I like the fact they're not being produced which communicates the idea without wasting the resources. But whats not so good is when this sort of thing (and theres a lot of it) gets pumped out not to fill a need but only to gratify the cognoscenti.
	I can't do the lava lamp...	1 Relevance	20 years ago	whitespike	General discussion
	I can't do the lava lamp... I can't do the lava lamp thing. They came back in "style" in the early 90s and several people bought them for me, albeit cheaper version for little faux-hippie stores. From there on out they just scream "juvenile" to me.

	Koen, I'm surprised you are... Koen, I'm surprised you are allergic to discussions. What you are calling: too much "I like/I do not like/you like/you do not like/we like...." is just a very positive thing. It's expressing ideas, sharing opinions, learning from each other. You shouldn't feel negatively about it. It's very constructive.
	Hi Koen, I only purchase and/...	1 Relevance	22 years ago	FUSEBOX	General discussion
	Hi Koen, I only purchase and/... Hi Koen, I only purchase and/or pay attention to originals. Knock-off's aren't my thing. I do feel, however that they are fine for others, as I would rather see a derivative in one's collection, than nothing at all. If one's budget dictates buying lesser quality, so be it.

	dust bunnies	1 Relevance	23 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	dust bunnies Well if you really want black floors but can't put up with the dirt you could always get one of those roving robo vacs. You're space is small so just let it do its thing by itself. My parents have one and the sucker picks up all kinds of dirt off their hardwood floors.
	RE: Rud rasmussen?	1 Relevance	2 years ago	Herringbone	Identification
	Also not sure. It depends on what you would do. You could fill the cracks with some wood filler or you could take the whole thing appart and reglue the boards. But you'd probably also have to rearrange some structural elements to allow for wood movement and prevent cracks in the future. This seems to be quite the effort.

	That sounds like a lot but... That sounds like a lot but that kind of sewing goes pretty quickly. I have not reupholstered an egg chair (yet) but I've done a lot of this same hand sewing on other pieces and I actually like doing it. I prefer the look of it over the alternative, which is that metal Ply-grip stuff or Curve-ease or whatever it's called, but usually it's not cost-effective to hand stitch. I like when it is, though. There's a thing that writers do when describing a craft that is foreign to most people, and that is to reduce some aspect of it to sheer numbers. The hand stitching isn't so remarkable because of the number of stitches, it's remarkable because it takes practice and skill to get the tension of the fabric just right and to make the stitches uniform in size. Puckered fabric or stitches would ruin the whole effect. This impressive numbers thing hit home years ago when I was at a quilt show and stopped to read the artist's statement on one of the prize-winning quilts. A docent seized the moment and started droning a prepared speech about the quilt: it had X number of stitches of quilting, X inches of thread used in quilting (both really huge numbers), and blah blah blah, as if that made it a great quilt. The quilt itself was horrifically boring and unimaginative in design and use of color. Craftsmanship was not enough. Anyway, sorry for going on. I just hate it when writers do that.
	Hi, sorry for having missed	1 Relevance	8 years ago	Ernest Rams	General discussion
	Hi, sorry for having missed it. Spanky, thank you for taking the time to explain! Another thing I wanted to ask: I find it very complicated to post anything from my mobile phone, as it asks to verify that I am not a robot, and you need to click on all these images with cars, store fronts, and so on, but when I write from my PC I do not have to do it. Is there a reason for this difference? Cheers Ernest

	LCA- love the sheep with the Vikings, especially in front of that painting or print! Anytime you wanna unload any of that, lemme know. Haha Cdsilva, might your chairs be cherry? I'm not great at IDing wood outside of the usual suspects, but that's the first thing I thought of when I saw the color and grain pattern. They're very handsome, btw.
