	... etc -- seems to have promise. Why not continue the painted wainscot within the porch recess -- or, better, because the siding goes vertical there, paint the entire recess in the darker color. Then the accent-painted door will really pop. And, unlike in Claus' handsome illustration, continue that color around both odd-height windows at the left end of the porch, to unite them as a pair. (Yes, I see why Claus stopped the color where he did -- for a better composition -- but if the darker color is not a bright accent (save that for the door ?) then the exte ...

Romantic spaces :), for kids to leave it at night, etc. But indeed not to read. About the cut glasses-bottles: I've been working with this for more than a year. Many times, about every month I said, I give up here, for one or other problem. The first of the problems by the way was about the question. "How are they cut? With the good old technique of thread and alcohol or w ...
	Variations	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Poach	General discussion
	Variations Luc, You're 15-5/8" to the top of the low point? Wow, mine are 15" even. That's a huge difference. Maybe the foot style is influencing it. My DCMs (and LCM) are of the "boot" style. Also, the angle is a function of the difference between high and low points. The highest point of my seat pans is 17", so a 2" drop. How does that compare to yours? Re: flex, much of the deflection is, as you inferred, a twisting of the wood over the center shock mount. As I push down on one rear corner, the other one rises. However, this is not a simple rock ...

	In most cases they don't need fixing to the wall. However, a single bay might, as it could theoretically shift diagonally if it only has shelves, not cabinets. I have such a set up in my hallway for books and they are screwed to the wall near the top of each support. (there are holes in the uprights)

	... legs. But those wire struts are the only means of making the principle leg member -- a 1/4" rod, I guess -- stiff enough to do its job. Thus, it was an aesthetic choice. I also like the way the whole construct becomes a diagonally-placed square by the time it reaches the central intersection. And of course all of this makes a nice contrast to the simple, colorful shell.

	I've always been curious as to whether the "fox" or blind-wedge mortise was used for the rear post to arm/back rail joint. If so, good luck. Otherwise, you can try heat, steam or hot water to help work the joints loose. Bad language is universally applied. Some drill tiny holes diagonally into the joint and inject hot water with hypodermic needles to help soften glue, but this can often swell the tenons, too, and make disassembly even more difficult. Compounding the task is the quality of the original assembly. These chairs were simply not meant to come apar ...

	... was just married, I was watching my dear aunt cut bias strips for a slipcover she was making. I told her about the bias tube trick that I'd seen in a book and she said, "Nah...too many seams." I think about her every time i cut bias strips. Every once in awhile I pick a fabric that has a weave with a very obvious diagonal pattern that I can cut along. That makes me happy. What I'd really like is if there was ready-made welt in interesting, quality fabrics. All I've ever found is icky chintz and heavy cotton twill in a few colors. OH well.

	... diagonal in one of Mondriaan's paintings) but, the differences in ideology, the differences in cultural background or the differences in the origins of each of the three major mouvements did not produce major differences in form language. One can could argue that there are major differences between some of the head figures of the mouvements. Tatlin could hardly be taken for Mies Van der Rohe, or J.J.P.Oud for Breuer, but, especially in the case of the Bauhaus teaching staff these people came with their own strong personal style. M.v.d.Rohe did not become th ...

	Always	1 Relevance	19 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Always looking for original ideas in structure, to see how an expert would handle the resulting form, I find this a wonderful example. Note that the "chassis" is an X-shaped frame, with the legs presumably mortised or half-lapped onto it, and the top surface cut diagonally -- with perfect structural and material logic -- and let into a dado in those frame members. The only question for the designer is whether to taper the X as it nears the corners -- which might have begun to disguise the unique structure being deployed. SDR U S A

	I like the curious pattern that is made by the operating windows in the living room; you can see how they are stepped diagonally in the exterior photo. There are other houses of the same sort. One has recently gotten a new owner. I'll see what else I can share. The plan is typical late Wright: sort of a geometric biology or botany. He made endless variations of these plans. . .

	What's not to like? "The first flag of {New Mexico} was designed by New Mexico historian Ralph Emerson Twitchell and featured a design quite different from the current flag. Mr. Twitchell's flag was blue with a small representation of the flag of the United States in the upper left hand corner and the New Mexico State Seal in the lower right hand corner. "NEW MEXICO" was embroidered diagonally across the field from the lower left hand corner to the upper right hand corner." Ouch.

	... material(s), to resist eventual movement. The fact that the leg is on a diagonal is of help in resisting north-south and east-west movement of the top, but the legs as a set are entirely vulnerable to rotational stress -- and a structure will find its own weakness and not be able to resist attack upon it, I'm sorry to say. I see at least two materials in the photo: MDF (?) for the table -- is that wood edgebanding I see on the long edge ? The benches seem to be made of hardboard-skinned lumbercore -- or are they of hollow-core or light-weight core constr ...

This piece of furniture represents to me that rare case where an almost unlimited number of variations could be manufactured, with the only change being the shape of the major "part." Perhaps there could be seasonal "new offerings," or regional specials -- square for New York, wavy for Paris, diagonal for Berlin, stepped for Tokyo ? Of course, the wave ...
