| Minimoma - here's another | 1 Relevance | 8 years ago | Spanky | Repair | |
| Minimoma - here's another strange thing. While looking at the drawing you placed here i noticed that all 3 horizontal lines (stretcher, seat rail, armrest) are positioned differently than the distances I took out of a real world chair. In the diagram hereunder - at the left hand side: your drawing and highlighted lines on top At the right hand side - same lines taken from a the photo at the center. please advice.. | |||||

| ... on the thick side but that may be because I did a batting wrap on top of the 2" thick foam--I really can't remember! One inch thick urethane foam is a bit thin for a seat cushion (latex would be fine since it's more resilient). - And here's the diagram of how to do the V channel method. Again, the channel would be cut along the entire perimeter of these cushions. | |||||
| My grandfather's Papa Bear | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| My grandfather's Papa Bear may have had that same fabric on it, but in solid black, so there was no heathering. It is a thick wool twill weave (the wales run diagonally). It was a couple years ago but I check everywhere for twill weaves in wool, and only found Knoll Cavalier, on Spanky's recommendation, and it seems to have been discontinued. Regardless, Cavalier was much, much too thin and tightly woven. So I doubt you are going to find any sort of matching fabric. If you wanted to save some of the original fabric, maybe you could do everything but the ... | |||||
| Thanks for the questions. | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | SDR | Off topic | |
| Thanks for the questions. Although I have gone up to 24 x 36 -- they make gridded card stock that big, or they did in the 'nineties -- I work small so that I can relax on the couch with a clip-board, so I can scan and print at home, and so that I don't have to spend forever just to see how a particular formula will play out. It's always a mystery: what will happen if I do this, or that . . .? That's really the motivator. If I was mathematically inclined, I'd probably know the answer already, and doing the work would be a simple chore of production, bett ... | |||||
| Ok, construction details: | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| Ok, construction details: The stretchers interlock. I can't remember from disassembly whether it is the side stretchers that are locked in or the front & rear. It would make better structural sense if the side stretchers were locked in, but I think it is the front & rear. The locking is accomplished by cutting a tenon on one stretcher. This is inserted into the leg first. Then the perpendicular stretcher is prepared with pegs, and inserted into holes that are drilled into the leg _and through_ the tenon, locking the tenon into place. The older chairs al ... | |||||

I know HM does these repairs, but not affordably, so I'll be getting the aftermarket shock mounts. I could walk into the local HM dealer with an allen wrench and tracing paper, but I don't think they would appreciate it. | |||||
| Is All Meladur a Wright Design? | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | dcwilson | General discussion | |
| I picked up a sugar bowl labled Meladur by General American 722. There is no Russell Wright label on it. Its burgundy and has big thick handles on both sides. In the Venn diagram of design, was all Meladur the Russell Wright design (the pattern he sold for $15K that kept being produced for a long time), or did Meladur come in a bunch of different patterns designed by different designers? | |||||
| I cannot speak for everyone | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | _ | General discussion | |
| I cannot speak for everyone but the vintage examples that I have do not have nails or any kind of hardware to attach the parts together (as seen on that diagram). I undertstand the comments about the legs but the example I am sitting on at this moment seem to do the job the way Nakashima intended. In his book (The Soul of a Tree) by Nakashima shows how the studio shrinks the spindles using heat lamps and allows them to expand back when fitted to the holes (like a traditional Windsor chair). | |||||

| ... Just make sure there isn't a fastener like a little nail or brad driven into the joint diagonally. Sometimes, these can be hard to see. If there is, you'll need to extract it somehow. With the table inverted, try squirting some hot water into the joint and let it sit for a while to soften any glue residue. Blot excess with a towel and repeat this step as necessary until it comes free. Some restorers will even drill a hole diagonally into the joint and rig a kettle with a tube to inject steam directly into stubborn joints to loosen them. Keep trying hand pre ... | |||||

| ... I've used has a good surface (medium-density overlay ?) and is used for highway signage, they tell me. Ours has a nice pale gray finish -- but the fir core plies are not necessarily free of knots and voids. Festools are nice. I wonder how the Domino makes its mortise. Is it a router bit that travels back and forth ? It's useful to have a tool that creates a mortise for a narrow spline -- Lamellos are two inches or longer. Biscuits I've used are solid beech or similar wood, with the grain oriented diagonally to the length of the "football" and the wood c ... | |||||

| ... or mold. "Hey, dude, lend me your mother's chair -- I promise I won't hurt it." Get out the Saran Wrap . . . It's a wonderfully coarse fabric -- perhaps chosen because it could be deformed into the necessary shape, without creasing or overlapping ? Note that the fabric is cut "on the bias" -- meaning, with the fibers running diagonally -- which would aid in the draping. Wonderful artifact -- and probably comfortable ? The texture might be nice to sit on, and inhibit "squirming" or sliding down in the seat ? | |||||

| ... for a replacement. Otherwise... Correcting the bend probably isn't trivial, but if the seat-mounting points on the base haven't moved, the bend is only making the chair wobble and isn't also putting unexpected loads into the mounts or interfering with the proper rocking action of the seat in its mounts. If you got a great deal on the chair and the wobble is the only symptom of the bend, you could easily "fix" it with a 0.75cm felt pad under each of two diagonally-opposite glides. | |||||

| ... standards. Having sat in the full sized chair, I found that its not really a chair you sit upright in (i.e. with your back against the back-rest). Yes you could do that, but as the blurb in the Knoll brochure says: Florence Knoll wanted something she could "curl up in". And that is precisely what the Womb is good for. I found it rather comfortable whilst flopping into it diagonally, or sitting in it horizontally, with my legs on one arm rest. I wouldn't want the chair to be any smaller if I was going to do that on a consistent basis! There are a few Womb ... | |||||
