| Drill out the rivet head. | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | tktoo | General discussion | |
| Drill out the rivet head. Use a sharp drill bit larger than the diameter of the rivet head in an electric drill, apply some pressure, and when the rivet head is sheared away the metal cap should pop loose. Wear eye protection. Any stubs left in the holes can simply be pushed farther in to provide clearance for the new feet. Of course you could also just grip the cap with an appropriate pair of pliers and twist while pulling, but that would likely mar the ends of the legs even more than what you might find exists already. If you don't already have the tools, ... | |||||

| ... The other is to rough it out with more common power tools and then refine the shape using hand tools, which would be my choice. The actual joinery is also less than straightforward, as the ends of the stretcher need to made concave to match the diameter of the rear posts. And then there are the fasteners. The cap screw/threaded insert method would be more laborious than simply mounting screws to mate with the keyhole system. Add to all of this finding the proper piece of wood.

| ... that can be used aren't actually 3D-printed. For example, Peter Donders' beautiful Batoidea chair (the red one with the footstool, below) is cast in aluminum in the usual way; 3D printing is only employed to make the mold. dirk Vander Kooij's Endless chair (in the video below) is made by a CNC extruder that lays down a quarter-inch-diameter molten plastic thread -- which is cool, but isn't what most people would call 3D printing. Unfortunately, 3D printing still isn't strong enough to make really usable well-designed furniture. Janne Kyttanen's Monarch sto ... | |||||

| Another Craigslist find!!! I | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Peruche | General discussion | |
| Another Craigslist find!!! I bought this Russell Woodard "Sculptura" patio set yesterday. Overall it is in great condition but I am going to have a friend of mine give it a professionally sprayed paint job in either white or black. 3 of the chairs are 28" Tall and one is 32" Tall which are standard sizes for this style Woodard patio chair. The patio table is 41.5" diameter and 28" Tall. Paid $50 Peruche | |||||

| Oddly enough | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | garlanre | General discussion | |
| Oddly enough the thing has started to grow on me. It is so awful that I can't stop looking at it (and yes, the diameter is 42 inches). It came out of the home of two elderly people who were moving to assisted living. Their house was filled with hollywood regency stuff. There were two nice La Barge tables on each side of the couch. But the lamps were truly fearful - oversized with gigantic scalloped shades with gold trim, lots of crystals dripping down, and heavy "bronze" bases. Whatever else this table might be, I think it's mid century. I'd still love to kn ... | |||||

| Only three screws | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| Only three screws for a four-foot diameter table seems odd. The base is weighted (I assume the "heavy" aluminum base has an iron weight added) and the table is usually moved by lifting the top. Would the three-screw base be present on a small-diameter top only ? Is the same base used on a variety of top diameters ? Looking again at the OP's photo, the base seems a bit small for the diameter of the top. Mixing and matching of tops/bases must be an ongoing issue for collectors . . . ? | |||||

I might put some veneer on the top. Walnut or rosewood with comments like this "Looks like You'll be in business in no time.... " i might sell them cheap in spite of you. i have said it more than once that these are for personal use and i wasnt going to be selling them. i marked them that any future offspring of mine would never mix them up. | |||||
| I could easily be wrong, but | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | fastfwd | General discussion | |
| I could easily be wrong, but I don't think those "La Fonda" tables were ever produced by Herman Miller (although they might have been produced by Vitra). Photos I've seen of the restaurant circa 1961 show chairs with the well-known quad parallel shafts merging into a four-star base, but they don't show any tables with that characteristic. Instead, the tables have just one large-diameter shaft and a circular base. | |||||

| ... form a short tube, and then one end of the tub is gathered and pulled tight so that you end up with a flat circle. The gathered edge is covered by the button. It is a very simple technique, you just have to find someone who works with leather and can find a good match on the hide. The foam bolster shouldn't be a big deal--those are sold pre formed and hopefully that size is available. If it isn't, one can be made by wrapping a smaller diameter bolster in thin layers of foam until it's the right diameter. | |||||

| ... that the wooden foot changes diameter all the time, but the steel tube does not, and you don't want the feet just falling out when they shrink up. So the naive solutions of glue or a tight fit are out... But there is a very clever and simple trick that Aasbjerg used to keep the feet in place. Edit: tktoo: it is very courteous of you to suggest that you might be wrong now and have been wrong in the past. But wholly unnecessary. The gods are not fooled. I embrace my roll as chihuahua. I don't like painted wood either so I am hoping to gnaw or claw the paint ... | |||||
| If the staples are the bigger | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| If the staples are the bigger gauge type used in electric staple guns, they might split the wood a bit over time. If they are fine gauge from a pneumatic stapler, they're ok. To do the webbing correctly, first test the diameter dowels you will need with whatever webbing you're using--it's probably 3/8" to 1/2", just depends on how the slots are. Other designers used this system and I've seen different sized slots. Do the first end of each strap off the roll--do not cut a piece off first. This way you can minimize waste. Stick a loop of webbing through ... | |||||
