| ... rail are invaluable. I could not figure out how that was done on mine and I even had another original Wegner chair to look at but without undoing it I just couldn't figure it out. It's just a matter of wrapping one side separately and tacking the end, then wrapping the other side and continuing that one on to weave the whole seat. The direction of the wrap is crucial. He also shows how to one whole course around the seat with the cord, then tighten and clamp it, then do another and tighten and clamp that. You are never weaving and tightening at the same ... | |||||

| Several of us seem to have missed that these two panels form a diptych -- there are lines that pass between the two compositions, combining them into one work. I doubt that the artist anticipated seeing them hung diagonally -- though there are square pieces (including a well-known Mondrian) which are diagonal compositions. Perhaps contrast isn't the only valid response to an existing feature like this fireplace ? And, different materials that share a similar coloration is surely not cause for alarm --- is it ? That said, of course these pieces belong in a ... | |||||

| ... version of an idea, as the basic prototype. Functionally, the large glue surfaces here replace the need for any diagonal members -- and the joinery is VERY simple ! Thanks for the comments and questions. As for the table idea with Aalto "trees" as removable legs (if I have that right) -- I like it, and (though it *must* exist somewhere) I haven't seen it -- yet ! SDR | |||||

| ... but an electric staple gun will do, I guess. Remove the tape and old webbing and all of the staples. A Berry staple remover is really good for this--get them out enough to grip with a pair of diagonal nippers. You can get a Berry staple remover on ebay if you don't have an upholstery supply place local to you, or order one online somewhere. Mark where the new webbing should go if it's not already obvious from previous marks or shadows. Staple one end. Stretch it and staple the other end. Cut. Always work off the roll, never cut a length and try to stap ... | |||||

| ... too far--into place and then screw back the top foot to snug it against the ceiling. The problem this avoids is that if you tried to do this with the feet at exactly the right height, the edge of the foot would hit the ceiling first, and you wouldn't be able to get it tilted all the way into place, because the diagonal distance from foot edge to foot edge is more than the length of the pipe. If you use very narrow feet this problem might be so small as to be unnoticeable. If you used very wide feet, this would be a very big problem. Alternatively, you coul ... | |||||
| So, just to be | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| So, just to be clear, we're discussing two separate joinery issues: First was the connections between the parts of the slatted panel or frame; second is the construction of the leg hoop. As to the slatted frame, I see four different fasteners, now (I'm not sure which are Herman Miller or other authorized production and which are knock-offs): dowels; large-head nails (if that's what they are); screws; and pneumatically driven finish nails. The end joints seem to be treated differently from the cross-bar joints, for some reason. The leg hoop joinery is inte ... | |||||

As the new age seemed to call for the elimination of what had by then become all too common -- machine-produced "carving" which had nothing to do with honest craft -- it was time to sweep that aside and look for other effects with which to beguile the eye: space itself, the colors and textures of materials in thoughtfully-arranged combination. Nothing wrong with Wharton Esherick or George Nakashima -- both of whom could ... | |||||

| NOT SO FAST FELLAS! I have an elephant grey Zenith labeled -rope edge chair but with a twist... the water transfer label, though very similar to your photo( same vernacular), is of FOUR squares - like a checkerboard section with the white squares on one diagonal and red and black squares on the other diagonal. Same typeface and info: " Zenith, Eames, etc is on them - but with this unique configuration. what can someone tell me about the date of manufacture and where this chair falls into the production schedule? | |||||

| Thanks for the illustration ! AZ's right, the seams should be suppressed. Some that I have made have had mitered (diagonal) seams at the corners; when wood grain is the finish material this is perhaps the neatest and most geometrically neutral way to "turn" the direction of the grain from horizontal (apron) to vertical (leg). I have also made a good-sized table-desk of solid cherry, in whose triple-mitered corners was embedded a welded steel tri-T to strengthen the corner joint(s). Another was of elm burl veneer, with a 1/4" let-in trim of ebony on all ... | |||||

| Oh, for the love of . . . ! Actually, when I visited the SF Federal Building I learned something rather dismaying: The interior color scheme in the dramatic public "nave" is appalling. Acres of darkish cold gray riveted panels combine with natural, polished concrete structure and a warm gray exposed-large-aggregate polished floor. The problem is that from the tall slanting gray-painted cladding sprout three or four green fiberglass air-handling shrouds -- attractively translucent and revealing a substructure of diagonal members. It's the color clash that's ... | |||||
