	Hi, Niceguy, Thanks for the	1 Relevance	10 years ago	TinyArmada	General discussion
	Hi, Niceguy, Thanks for the input. The dimensions are 28 deep 59 wide 17.5 tall. two circles are 18 inch diameter and 3 circles are 12 inch diameter. If we had found it anywhere but in the original owner's residence I might be inclined to agree about it possibly being commercial, because as you point out it's obvious utility for displaying items. It was in a home with a lot of high end mid century modern designer furniture and art (they had amazing taste). They were an elderly couple and everything in their home was bought during the era. They also trave ...
	Tightbond II and III have	1 Relevance	10 years ago	Zephyr	General discussion
	... is right on, the trick of course, will be to get 3 (or more) bar clamps tight on a round object with beveled edges. I dont know that one clamp will be enough clamping force to get the invisible glue line that is desired. I know you said you don't do a ton of woodworking, but if you could trace the cutting board on to a square board slightly larger, cut it in half, and then cut out the resulting half circles (just outside the trace line), put the cutting board between the two halves, and then you will have a solid, flat surface to clamp to. It is going to ...
	One of the downsides of knock	1 Relevance	10 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	General discussion
	One of the downsides of knock offs is that there is no incentive for quality, and there is minimal incentive for customer support. It is an unabashedly disposable product with no expected resale value. That is the implicit contract. As such, you are on your own with regard to finding a replacement part. I am amazed that they have a polite person who responds to such inquiries. The world is a better place than I expected! Perhaps you should measure the diameter and then head down to the hardware store and see if they stock a chrome plated drain pipe that diam ...
	On a much smaller scale....	1 Relevance	10 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	On a much smaller scale.... I've been wanting a set of Jacob Jensen Vikings for a long time but they usually sell for $200-300, which was beyond my budget for something I didn't really need, especially when i have so much stuff already that I don't really need. But then I got this set for a price that was shockingly low, even by my standards. The catch was that some parts were missing---but nothing I figured I couldn't make myself, at least of passable resemblance. Oh, PLUS, I realized they are perfect displayed on the granite stones that I picked up off ...
	hi all!	1 Relevance	11 years ago	DJV	General discussion
	hi all! Thanks for your comments so far. I am also curious for the dimensions of this little side table. Is there somebody out there who dares to make a guess about the height and diameter (in inches)? @smogguy: you say it might be a lucia eames design. interesting. Where on the web can I find more info about her designs? Thanks!

	... to use in a recording studio in Sweden, I think---the foam arm had cracked through. They're not too tricky to redo but guessing from lots of photos I've seen of similar chairs that were not redone correctly, it may be hard to find an upholsterer who either knows how to do a curvy molded shell or who is willing to research it and learn some new techniques. You should check on the undersides of the arms of the shell for damage---the frame is screwed into small blocks of wood that are set into the foam and on the three that I did, most of these were mangled, h ...

	... diameter. The cushions are machine sewn. The button tufting cords are probably punched through the shell of the chair and secured on the outside, at least on the seat. The back cushion and maybe the seat cushion too may be the attached type that looks like a loose cushion--can't tell without seeing more details. More importantly, though---have you done any machine sewing on leather before? It's best to use an industrial sewing machine that is specifically designed for sewing leather, one with a compound feed walking foot. This is so that the layers of ...
	Two possible ways to extract	1 Relevance	10 years ago	tktoo	General discussion
	... pin to get it to move. 2. Drill a small (1/16th") diameter hole in the end of the pin deep enough to insert either a #4 steel screw or proper size screw extractor to pull the pin. For drilling into metal it's best to dimple first with a center punch to help prevent the bit from "walking" at the start, use a new bit (either cobalt or titanium-coated made for metal), use slow speed, apply some pressure, and wear eye protection. Brass is somewhat self-lubricating when cut, so no need for oil or water. I use brass round bar all the time for my work and have lot ...

	I was thinking it might look better with a larger diameter glass top...thanks for your opinion and thumbs up:)
	I am unfamiliar with this	1 Relevance	12 years ago	tktoo	General discussion
	I am unfamiliar with this particular chair, but the hardware appears to be a standard (possibly plated) socket head cap screw with a custom recessed spacer. The screw itself might be found "off the shelf" from a specialty fastener supplier like McMaster-Carr (once you determine specifics like length, diameter, thread pitch, etc.). The spacer may be more difficult if not impossible to source, though any small machine shop should be able to reproduce it easily. I'd probably try to contact the original manufacturer first, if possible.

	Chris M. That's a beautiful Bitossi charger. We have a couple in different sizes and love them. We collect all the blue Londi designs. But I have a question. You wrote that it's 42", could you have meant 14"? Our largest is 14" in diameter and I've never seen one larger.
	And in case the fake-looking	1 Relevance	12 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	And in case the fake-looking mark isn't enough, the end of the cushion is indeed different than that on the real thing. The end piece is a flat circle of leather on the fake one, whereas the on the real one it is a strip of leather that is gathered into pleats in the center. The button on the fake one is also smaller in relation to the diameter of its cushion. (This makes it look like the cushion is too big in diameter but it's actually correct if you compare it to the thickness of the big cushion. Unless that's too thick, too...)

	... the bull below was stamped Made in Norway but now I can't find any mention of that so maybe I imagined it. It does have the same distinctive shape to the animal's back as on the elephant, though---coming to a peaked ridge instead of being broadly rounded like a real bull or elephant. Is your elephant shaped like this too? The front legs are thicker on yours than on the Norwegian elephant and bull. That makes me think it's by someone else. The eyes on my Norwegian elephant are tiny black beads inset in holes---probably glass? They're very glossy and are ...
