	Yes ! I wouldn't [i]dream[/i	1 Relevance	11 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Yes ! I wouldn't [i]dream[/i] of buying a home until I knew the brand and capacity of the septic sump and the water heater -- would you ? I mean, a girl has standards . . . Hang on, A. Mark, I'm up in the attic looking for my veil. Drat -- where did I put that thing ? I last loaned it to my former baby-sitter Margaret for her fourth wedding. Girl got au jus sauce all over it, I don't know how. Maybe I can dye it pink. Is that okay for a first (blush) nuptial ?
	Yes.	1 Relevance	12 years ago	objectworship	General discussion
	Yes. I'd be concerned with internationally shipping the thing without going through some sort of a broker, and I don't think its dollar value would justify the hassle, or risk of getting burned on a bad deal. I like to arrange sales in a way that the buyer comes (after some sort of an interview), we discuss it, I receive cash money, and everybody gets what they perceive to be 'fair'. I buy things the same way, but reversed. Of course, each situation has its own conditions. I bought a book from New Zealand once.

	I'll post some more when the blasted thing is finished. Eucalypts have a tendency to drop branches and have killed a few campers here and damaged cars, they also like to burn so I imagine thats why they were removed. This stuff goes under the name Tasmanian oak, people in Tasmania just use it for firewood, up here the local timbers are so full of twist and tension and are so incredibly hard they are rarely used as cabinet timbers, thats probably what you got there.
	Polishers	1 Relevance	13 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Polishers Haven't needed one for a few years, the guy I used to use in Bethnal Green has disappeared, McGuire I've heard are good though. If you know anyone in Alfies ask them where the guy who used to be next door went to he was really good. Any should be able to do it perfectly well. IME you get two types, the antique restorer type and then the sort who may do more commercial and on -site work, boardroom tables and that kind of thing. Both are fine and if you don't need woodwork doing the second are cheaper and quicker.

	. Just out of curiosity I did some googling on restoring this sort of thing and found this at hivemodern Please note that we advise upholstering the Ribbon chair in Tonus 3 or Momentum. Other fabrics may cause a number of pleats to appear, which cannot be avoided. I'd go for hand stitching instead of the zip, its actually pretty fast and easy and from what Spanky has said sounds a bit more reliable. These fabrics aren't washable (or are they?) so the zip seems a bit redundant really.

	I wonder what percentage of... I wonder what percentage of our income we or our governments spent on things we didn't need this year? For the firewood lovers, when it was made do you think Noguchi gave no consideration to it? When an artist creates something do you think he finds the cheapest and most utilitarian framer he can find in the phone book, maybe he goes to Ikea? If you are given a bunch of flowers do you just put them in any old vase and when you look at a painting is paint the only thing you see?

	We never did those kinds of recipes, but... we did have all kinds of weird Swedish foods. Jansen's Temptation comes to mind. Potatoes, eggs, cream and anchovies...an acquired taste, personally I love it. My mum was a foodie even back in the 60's. Homemade granola, home canned tomatoes, that kind of thing. She would never have allowed Cool Whip in the house.

	. sigh whatever you say DC. Please do me the favour of applying your remarkable gifts to these images...then again you know diddly squat about construction and probably couldn't tell us anything about the rather robust construction of these types of chairs or the brutality of cutting involved. Look below the surface. Are those cables not beautifully delicate? Are the concrete supports not brutal and isn't the WHOLE thing remarkably cohesive? Is everything so literal and 2 dimensional for you? How unfortunate.
	Come on, Riki honey...	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Lunchbox	General discussion
	Come on, Riki honey... You cannot honestly affirm the approach of companies like GE. The simple truth is that the operation of these companies is in their own self interest first. What is the value in aiding the Chinese growth of an economy and country devoid of basic humanistic value? Should those inside our borders not be more important than those who could rise against us? Joint ventures with countries which operate and govern in civility are one thing. This is something else entirely.

	What also amuses me is... the original poster poor Pete 1979....never dared to repost...we made a dog's brakfast out of the Spice Gun and he ran ran away...but then he's Actually I've always liked the wide age range here...SDR, Koen, Vivienne and the long missing Annette.sco are above me, and there are other much younger. Agesism doesn't apply to our love of design but it does seem to apply to our tastes in gadgets, gewgaws and thing-a-ma-bobs!
	mary ann scott	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	mary ann scott This is the stupidest Idea ever! Doing a cheesy reproduction of a classic masterpiece such as this is the most idiotic thing I've ever heard.Firstly; it would most likely hurt the value of these classics ,and if you can't obtain an original too bad. I have the original under my finger tips sweetie.... I am talking about Cloning it for the rest of the world to have and adore and share with me, I feel like Doctor Evil !!! hahahahahaha
	Aw. . .	1 Relevance	22 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Aw. . . Don't feel bad -- death always brings a final "fifteen minutes of fame," before everybody moves on to the next tragedy. We've given LOTS of coverage to the unique Herr van der Rohe, haven't we? I'm looking forward to seeing past interviews of Mr Johnson (whose first name is spelled with one L, by the way) on the Charlie Rose Show (PBS) in a little while. . .and I still want to know if he said "the building is just the thing that occurs between the drawings and the photographs"! I mis-spelled "New Canaan," above.

	The neighbohood hunk also built these drawers. The odd thing is...when ever I visit, one drawer is always open. Either I have a ghost, or poorly made built-ins. I have never been thrilled with them, but a hunk is a hunk.. evil is in the drawers, Aunt Mark
	Shrink wrap is a wonderful	1 Relevance	16 years ago	HowardMoon	General discussion
	Shrink wrap is a wonderful thing. Try layering bubble wrap and cardboard over all the surfaces with an extra thick layer of cardboard over the edges, then go crazy with the shrink wrap to hold it all in place.

	Yes,avoid grain corrected leather at all costs!! The grain corrected leather has a phony shine and creases quite severely,doesn't last as long as full grain.No such thing as patina with this grade.
