	do not be lazy	1 Relevance	15 years ago	niceguy	General discussion
	do not be lazy judson, Asking about replacement glass is one thing, being too lazy to look in the Yellow Pages or do a "google search" for a source is another. I am sure that you are able to look up glass dealers in you area. Do you own homework. And of oourse you would get the color, cut, and bevel to match. Your question is pathetic.
	A few years ago some friends ...	1 Relevance	15 years ago	HPau	General discussion
	A few years ago some friends ... A few years ago some friends had a 'bad art party', I made some Hitler collage nonsense but the best one was a transcript of a mock interview which was so well worded in post modern meaninglesness that it was only by the last paragraph that you realised the entire thing was about 'ínvisibility'.
	Nice!	1 Relevance	16 years ago	garlanre	General discussion
	Nice! That's beautiful, Mario. Did you use spray paint to get that nice even coat? And what kind of wood was underneath? I'm wondering whether it would be worth my while to strip the whole thing back to its original state. I'm also wondering how the hell you get that copper stuff off. 🙂 Thanks for you help.
	My only photo......	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Sound & Design	General discussion
	My only photo...... My only photo... err...negative, and was found in book I purchased. Appears to be a Steelcase knock off of an Eames. This past weekend I came across a small stack of Nelson bubbles, Eames chairs etc. Didn't buy, not my thing. Should I see them again, will photograph them for you.
	I like the Ligne Roset...	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Antonella	General discussion
	I like the Ligne Roset... I like the Ligne Roset chairs. Also I've read that the manufacturer uses environmentally friendly methods of production which is a good thing. Between them I think that Malmo is suitable for a movie room best, as it is more compact and solid, and it doesn't get messy.
	Wassily	1 Relevance	22 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Wassily Not to Mention my fake wassily chair by eurway.com I hardly even sit the thing.. Guests like it though.. I look at it in disgust..Go reminder of knockoff and there quality (not that the quality of this one is so bad but its just not the same.) But I figured after looking at custom designs on a website for LA knoll and herman miller are cheap...
	Maybe,	1 Relevance	22 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	Maybe, but this thread dissapointed me. I thought I would get some interesting stuff out of it. But it got reduced to the use of language, which to me is a pallid cop-out, and then it died. No one who posts here uses english so poorly that they cannot be understood. Some folks post with such brevity that their meaning cannot be understood, but that's not the same thing. No, I don't think language is at fault.
	what did you really expect ?	1 Relevance	17 years ago	chewbacca rug (USA)	General discussion
	what did you really expect ? did you really think that buying knock-off products from modernica was going to be as good or better than the real thing ? i don't understand, do you really identify with the under-dog so strongly you would go out of your way to buy knock-offs ? its always a BAD idea to buy knock-offs. ALWAYS.
	If you do get interested in...	1 Relevance	16 years ago	HPau	General discussion
	If you do get interested in... If you do get interested in it I wouldn't recommend buying one of the off the shelf systems. I set my own up a few years ago using a Rietschle pump (Busch are good too), a very big reserve tank (just an old LPG tank from a wreckers yard) and I use waterbed bags with a plastic channel and tube to seal it. Connect good quality plumbing fittings and air tool hoses, a tap on the tank lets you control the rate of evacuation and stop it quickly if you need to. I put an old vacuum gauge bought from a flea market on the tank. The quality of the pump seemed to me the most important thing, they are expensive but you could probably get a good one second hand and have it serviced. The pressure will never go much higher than 13 psi, depends on how close to sea level you are. Flat work is a bit boring, it gets interesting with curved work and other things.making the mold can be a trying experience, its cheap enough to have them cnc cut and much less frustrating, I presume youv'e read the Bent Ply book? I've pressed textured panels using thin aluminium and handmade paper over leaves and twigs, it looks good. Thin unsupported shells require a very good adhesive, I don't do that sort of thing anymore because a good less toxic glue still isn't available, not that I've found anyway. Good luck! http://www.woodworkforums.com/f40/vacuum-bent-plywood-stools-11731/
	I think there are a bunch of	1 Relevance	11 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	I think there are a bunch of differences that are more significant than the core material. the knobs are different, thicker on yours, thin-edged on the real one the drawer bottoms on yours are white melamine, wood on the original the drawer runners are applied strips of wood on yours, cut out channels on the real one drawer fronts are dovetailed on the real thing and separate boards fixed to cheaper wood on yours the bottom on yours is not teak as on real one the overall width is just 10" shorter but it still has 3 drawers--I think a "compact version" would have two drawers--? And then there's the glaring butt joint issue. I'd guess that it was a Thailand- or Singapore-made copy. I have seen chairs made in one of those countries that are very close copies of Danish designs but with slight differences that wouldn't jump out at you unless you are really familiar with the real thing.
	Selrite...	1 Relevance	16 years ago	straylight	General discussion
	Selrite... The only person I know of who has any interest at all in Selrite furniture is myself and my interest is purely scholarly. I have absolutely no interest in collecting the stuff at all. If you wish for something to be appraised the best thing to do would be to go to a local antique appraiser.
	Well..	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Robert Leach	General discussion
	Well.. I reckon teak carcass and Burmese Teak (afrormosia) for the legs. Walnut for mid century furniture is very much an American thing, European furniture tends much more, but not exclusively, to be teak. Simon's probably your man though.

	If a million monkeys sew... If a million monkeys sew cloth for a million years.... No offence intended in my first reply Barry, it's just not my thing - needless to say I'm not alone. Don't take it personally ;o)
	Weinberg clock	1 Relevance	18 years ago	I Clock	General discussion
	Weinberg clock Rocky I am loving your Weinberg clock. I have one like that but different color. I have 4 different Weinberg clocks and am always looking for more. They don't come around too often. My parents had that same brass bird/sun thing. WOnder what ever happened to it?
	I've run across similar-style	1 Relevance	9 years ago	tktoo	Repair
	I've run across similar-style pins a few times, but in cast metal. Possibly an English thing. I guess they were designed like tuning pegs on stringed instruments so that one could get a purchase on them if they became stuck in their holes? Never seen cheap-ass plastic ones before, but seems consistent with the construction of the OP's sideboard judging by the nailed-on drawer rails.
