| Latex foam is very expensive | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| Latex foam is very expensive and also harder to trim with a razor blade because it will compress before giving way to the blade. Cutting compressed foam will result in a distorted cut edge when you release the pressure. But probably more importantly, most (all?) latex foam now is poured into molds with metal posts every inch or so. The posts differ in diameter; bigger ones result in less foam per square foot and thus less dense, more squishy. Smaller posts yield firmer foam. this is apparently the only way to get different densities. The problem with i ... | |||||
| Replicating them is | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Zephyr | General discussion | |
| Replicating them is relatively easy, but quite tedious. You would need a decent drill press, and the correct diameter forstner bit. After that, it is just layout and then repetition. I suspect there might be the opportunity to make a jig to assist the process. The difficult part, would be finding the afromosia, I suspect. 6-8' lengths of 4/4 to 5/4 Afromosia (I cant remember the thickness off hand), probably run you the same cost as just buying the finished wall standards second hand, not to mention the time saved. A slightly different story if you hav ... | |||||
| Signed 40' round abstract painting on wood signed.. Any ideas...? | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | onegroovydude | General discussion | |
| Hello. Happy Friday..!!! I was downstairs moving my shag wall hanging around, and forgot I had this back there with it. I'm sure it's a long shot, but wondered if anyone recognized the name. I'm thinking Magritte...:) Judging by the colors, and style it appears to be 80's to me. It's on plywood. The paint is extremely thick, and has an iridescence in various areas. Mega Glossy. It's pretty cool. 40" in diameter. Any ideas? (edited by DA - pictures not showing up) | |||||

| Oops, sorry, I should have | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| ... wooden plugs to cover them, while the screws on the back were not. They're also Phillips head screws; usually when there are exposed fasteners on Danish furniture, they're hex or square type, I think. So assuming these are repair screws put in later, and that the originals were smaller and recessed and covered with plugs, then it makes the Buch connection more likely. If only to be an "inspired by" design. One of the screws is recessed but the other isn't--can't tell from the photos if the two screw heads are the same diameter. I'm guessing not. I dou ... | |||||
| The block is very short grain | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | Repair | |
| ... Russian Roulette. Possibly a row of finish head screws (much smaller diameter head) could be put into the frame at a 45 degree angle just below the block, leaving the head proud enough to hang cord on it. You couldn't do this with L nails because they would pull out at that angle. The threads on the screws would solve the problem. And this would require pre-drilling too. Or you use a stapler like the factory did. I always prefer to duplicate the factory's techniques. I prefer to avoid pieces where I look down on how the factory did it, so I don't ... | |||||
| I would look for a standoff | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | Repair | |
| I would look for a standoff or extension tube or something of the nature. It would need to be the right diameter and have the right internal threads for that threaded rod. Then for the screw head, I would look for a screw with the right hex head and threads to go in the other end of the extension tube. With some luck and looking around on the internet you can cobble together those pieces. Again with luck those head diameters and tube diameters will be just right for off the shelf parts, or close enough. If you absolutely have to, it might be possible ... | |||||
| I have never bought a new | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| I have never bought a new butterfly chair frame but I have gotten more than a dozen vintage ones at auctions over the years and there was a big difference in the diameter of the steel used---some quite thick, and at least one that was really quite scrawny. So that's something to look at if buying new---also check how well the welds are cleaned up. Some of my old ones are kind of blobby. Now as for the sitting angle---that may vary from one maker to the next but you should be able to determine that from side shots of the frames if they are available. I ... | |||||
| Yes, consider a cheap flight! | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| Yes, consider a cheap flight! I know round trips to Denmark and Norway were between $300 and $400 two or three years ago. But they might also ding you pretty hard on luggage if you bring back a huge bolt of fabric. (Fourteen yards of a very bulky fabric is a very large diameter bolt.) But either way---this is one of those situations where you have to think how you'll feel in the future. That's how I often decide whether I want to invest in a pricey upgrade. I know that if I settle for something that's not exactly what I want, I will always think about t ... | |||||
| Cado or Bruksbo measurements | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | aaronml | General discussion | |
| I would like to construct a shelving system similar in design to the Cado that uses wire brackets or the similar Bruksbo and would like to know the diameter of the wire brackets used in each (looks like about 5/16" from what I see in photos) and also the width and depth of the uprights that are mounted to the wall. Can anyone help? | |||||
| ID Danish Wooden Tray w/ Handle | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | guyinSF | Identification | |
| Bought this nice wooden tray at a thrift store but I don't know anything about it. Can someone tell me what one would use this for? Also there is a small 1" diameter gold foil label on the back and all I can get out of it is "Made in Denmark". Does anyone recognize the maker/logo? I just love the way it hangs on the wall! Thanks! | |||||

Underneath is a wire- stright spring to hold the leather seat together. Very comfortable zig zag shape tublar steel. (Expert on Rietveld Ida van Zijl says not by him.) | |||||
| Are you talking about the | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | Spanky | Repair | |
| Are you talking about the flat wool tape, maybe? That is no longer made. There was another product that was flat and i think about 1/4" wide or so, maybe narrower, and each strand had 5 lengthwise ridges in it. It looked like 5 tiny diameter cords bonded together. I think it was molded paper but I'm not sure. Zephyr, it was tchp who was thinking about getting a kit but then just got some cord and plunged in. His first chair looks perfect. Then he did the rest of his set and they all looked perfect, too. https://www.designaddict.com/forum/Repair/Repl ... | |||||
