	Looks like	1 Relevance	12 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	Looks like that's the right guy, whatever his name is. I like the abstract painting, I really do. But seeing his other stuff reminds me once again how it always gets to me when I see that an artist has done all four: still life, landscape, portraits, and "abstracts", dabbling in each as if they are all pre-fab genres that need to be checked off. How come there is never anything in between? Or some overlapping weird stuff? Perhaps it is because they are the "big four" categories of painting, and artists feel pressure to prove themselves in each? I still wish he only did one thing, rather than everything. Rant over.

	I'm helping my folks with som... I'm helping my folks with some renovations at the moment, there really was a lot of orange and brown, it must having been like living inside of a gigantic jaffah. There was this thing with bedding a while ago, I bought some pillow cases and after putting them on realised that they were the colour of old dried sweat etc, yuck.

	Our design within reach in to... Our design within reach in town is the smallest in the country and they don't have everything in the showroom. I'll have to check them out when I'm in a bigger city. The prices seem a bit on the high side and I'd be inclined towards the vintage for a tad less. I've got a thing about reproductions. Tried living with them and they always end up bothering me. Lol. I can handle the wannabes in lighting and that's about it.

	Wouldn't then... ... it be a failure as a design? Regardless of aesthetics, if you can't use the thing without risk of personal injury, it seems to me that it does not function. I would call that a design fail. Or, you could simply change the name from Sapper tea pot to Sapper sculpture and enjoy it as an artwork. Maybe it succeeds more as a work of art than a functional object?
	After	1 Relevance	14 years ago	Robert Leach	General discussion
	After After World War Two some aircraft factories went over to (and reverted to) furniture making. This looks just the sort of thing that would have been produced by one of those factories. Both Ernest Race and James Leonard in the UK used these methods, as surplus wartime aluminium was not subject to rationing. (although I'm not suggesting your chair is by either of them) Where are you in the world?
	I may be	1 Relevance	14 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	I may be making too much of the end grain thing. There's lots of teak garden furniture out there, unfinished, that's doing just fine -- I guess. What I've seen here, when there's not enough sun on a set of teak pieces, is the growth of various organisms on the surface, lending a patina (?) of blotches. Cleanable, I suppose -- the furniture wasn't mine.

	Perhaps one just slips a... Perhaps one just slips a thin knife blade under the wraps, then pulls the long tag end of the rattan back against it, slicing it off under the wraps... Doing this weaving job would be a lot of work, so I am still kind of hoping that I can find out the actual way it was done for certain, to lessen the risk that I end up having something go wrong, and have to re-do the entire thing.

	wow, lighten up. If somethin... wow, lighten up. If something doesn't fit in your house, and you are willing to modify it to make it fit in your home I am all for it. Especially if you don't plan to try to sell it. Why would cutting down some css poles be sacrilege? I am planning to do the same thing in the future in my home office to match a sill line for some clerestory windows.
	Glue	1 Relevance	14 years ago	J.J.	General discussion
	Glue Thanks Tulipman! Love to hear the consensus but that sounds great. I probably will look into having it repainted professionally but I certainly might take a stab at a glue & clamp job. Damn this thing is beautiful. I'm happy I pulled the trigger and brought it home. And very happy I have you all on the forum for guidance.

	ng, who says the guy who... ng, who says the guy who does that plastic object blog is the last and final word on this stuff and everything he writes is fact? i don't believe everything i read....i reached the conclusion previously stated from reading things, not just the thing you suggested i read. now i am looking for confirmation on what i decided, not what it says on some random guys blog. regards.
	Cut one down	1 Relevance	15 years ago	norm	General discussion
	Cut one down If you get tired of waiting for actual tie back bars you can always buy a full length upright and cut it down. I sacrificed one myself for my system. The only thing left to do after that is fabricate the fastening brackets to connect tie back to upright and wall. Uprights show up more frequently than tie backs.

	Thats interesting, a similar ... Thats interesting, a similar thing happened at an annual wood working show here a few years ago, there were so many complaints about it and the excessive number of kids...they really were underfoot though and too easy to hurt, these things are trade shows not family days out.
	It's just a fillet weld.	1 Relevance	16 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	It's just a fillet weld. Or more specifically, a fillet-welded lap joint. The joining of a rectangular tube with a round tube or bar, as in your photo, is often called a "box connection". "Single J" welds are for THICK plates, like for boilers and big pressure tanks, not for this sort of thing.

	So I guess his MO... ... is to buy perfectly decent to really good pieces and dress them up as truly exceptional pieces? Surely such an obvious deception as buying one thing under one account, blatantly and deceptively modifying it, then selling it under a different account would warrant some action on the part of eBay.

	They have yet to email me... They have yet to email me back. Must be sold. Sheesh. This happened to me with an egg chair for $125 just a month ago. Weird thing is yesterday I thought it was a good deal. It was listed at $1250! Then I checked last night at it dropped to $750, which I thought was amazing. And now it's $375 and I can't get a damn answer!
