| ... but with natural oak shelving and utility drawer. The steel legs are circular cylinders, painted black, 9" long and 3/4" in diameter with unobtrusive metal glides (non-self-leveling). They are attached to the cabinet by square steel plates (3-1/4" side) each having 4 slotted screws. The 116 is shown in Rouland, "Knoll Furniture, 1938-1960", p. 132. Strangely the description mentions only caned doors but the picture shows Pandanus. I've owned this piece for 20 of its ~60 years and have never done anything but dust it. However, the front cane slider shows muc ... | |||||

| An update… I had legs fabricated to match the original Model 116 specifications — 1" diameter, 9" high, round, steel legs, coated in black semigloss paint — and replaced the 6.75" high, tapered brass legs that a decorator had installed. (See the before photo, #1, and the after photos. #2 and 3, below.) It is now restored to sideboard height (rather than credenza height). I have saved the brass legs for my own Frankenstein project. I have plans to disguise a modern 2-drawer lateral file cabinet as a mid-century credenza in my home office. | |||||
| Comparing the finer details | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| Comparing the finer details of the two, this is what I see. The ends of the tripod legs on the lamp in the Wright auction taper to a very thin diameter, thinner than on your lamp. The feet are spherical whereas on your lamp they are more of a football shape. The taper starts a bit higher up and is more gradual on the Wright auction lamp. I don't know what you call the part in the third photo so I just added text and arrows to the photos! It looks like it has a slightly different profile but it's hard to say without a photo from exactly the same angle. Yo ... | |||||

| The stem looks thinner and the base looks like a bigger diameter than the authentic one's I'm looking at right now. Also the round black part on the seat looks bigger diameter on the gray one than the authentic ones here. | |||||

| I have a Seng base like the one you describe. It has a bearing race disk made of what appears to be masonite, with holes drilled in it to space the bearings. The image below illustrates the general idea. The bearings appear to be fairly large in diameter, maybe around 1/4", but it is hard to say for sure. I have seen other Seng bases that are not like this, and have many more bearings that I believe are smaller in diameter. I think these are the type where the smaller bearings manage to work their way out, and get lost. | |||||

| That is one ugly break. I wonder if this would be best fixed with 5 long but thin pins near the perimeter of the leg. Perhaps the pins could even be threaded steel rod of a narrow diameter (1/8" maybe) and epoxied in. It is not something I've ever tried, but I've often thought it would be better at distributing forces across the break than a larger dowel because the small long pins would be distributed across the whole area and reach far up and down into the leg. (I imagine it as analogous to many stitches holding a seam together versus one large knot whi ... | |||||
| Picked up a huge unmarked | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | cdsilva | General discussion | |
| Picked up a huge unmarked black ceramic planter at Salvation Army today. It is 17" outside diameter by 13.5" tall. I'm not very well versed in ceramics, but initially thought it might be Gainey or Architectural Pottery. However mine has a thinner shell with inward facing flat lip, while all the G and AP photos I've come across have thicker walls and no lips. Now I need to find the right spot in the house and plant for it. | |||||

| I'm 99% certain that it's a genuine Knoll chair. I can't tell if the base portion is painted (wet spray), Rilsan coated or has a simple black oxide finish. If you can measure the wire diameter of either the basket wires or base (the base might be easier), you might be able to determine if the wires are metric. If American made, the base should be constructed of 7/16" rod. If it isn't, it's probably early European made. They were made in Belgium in the mid to late 50's (maybe a little later. Regarding the base, I've seen a few where the tails of the uppe ... | |||||
| Thanks for the response, | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | MLF | General discussion | |
| Thanks for the response, Retro. My wife is pretty sold on painting or powdercoating the floor lamp white, so I tried experimenting on that one, as we hoped to keep the metallic finish on the table lamp. The milder options didn't do much, but Barkeeper's Friend and scrubbing slowly dissolved the yellowed clear coat, while leaving the finish intact. A few tiny flakes of finish came off the stem of the floor lamp and the bubbling on both apparently underlies the clear coat. It's not perfect, but a huge improvement. Will have to think about whether its still wor ... | |||||

| Correctly done, here's what it'll look like. It helps to hold down the top cord as you make the turn with the new one over it, especially with stiffer cord. If you're weaving with 1/4" diameter cord like with the Wegner J16 rocker and some other chairs, this is especially important. | |||||

The last time I researched online custom shades, Fenchel Shades had the widest range of sizes and shapes and their prices were better than some other sites. (I used another site before finding Fenchel and the prices were high and the edge binding started coming unglued within a year. I don't remember what site it was, just that it was big and sold other lighting stuff too, i think.) My daughter needed a tall cylindrical shade with a ... | |||||
| UPDATE! Frank's Cane & Rush | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| UPDATE! Frank's Cane & Rush Supply has switched to a different paper cord that is a little darker and grayer in tone than what they have sold for a long time. It's lighter weight cord. I untwisted the three plies and unfurled one of them and compared the width of that strip to the same in their old cord (which they've discontinued). The new stuff is 20mm wide vs. 29mm for the old stock. Their old stock was already smaller in diameter than Danish-made cord. The new stock is less than half the amount of paper in Danish-made cord. They don't say anything ... | |||||

| Well...you do need to | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| Well...you do need to drill straight into the center of the ball. This is hard to do without at least a bench vise and a drill with a level, or a drill press. A lot of those maple balls in craft stores already have holes in them but they're probably too big a diameter. It should be easy to get a woodworker to drill an accurate hole for you if you don't have the tools to do it yourself. A high school shop class probably could do it. | |||||
