	Lief	1 Relevance	10 years ago	waffle	General discussion
	Lief Here is a dis-assembled pic. I tried to take a pic of the dowel ending but couldn't get it to focus. One of the dowels is stuck/glued/whatever and I didn't want to force things....Still think this is just a great thing AND Today bought a lamp that looked familiar.... for a reason. It's a David Cressey/Robert Maxwell Earthgender lamp. Large, but not the largest size. Pretty handsome
	Its a curse	1 Relevance	12 years ago	HPau	General discussion
	Does this happen to anyone else? You're looking at upholstery samples or whatever online or in a shop, you've no idea what the prices are you just like plain simple things and whatever your choice it is always the most expensive option.Maybe its a bit like that thing with Lecorb and the plain cast iron boilers being the most expesnive becuase the decorative ones hid the casting flaws.Anyway Knoll velvet and felt costs a bomb, nice though.
	M A # 593	1 Relevance	15 years ago	VRL	General discussion
	I have a mahogany 9-drawer dresser with the metal capped legs. I have not seen anything close to it in stores or on any sites. I was thinking about selling it and was wondering how much I should try to sell it for or maybe just keep it a little longer; since that little tag keeps nagging. One thing for certain todays furniture is not built anywhere near as good and sturdy as this piece is. Has anyone come across a 9-drawer (3 x 3 full drawers) that I could go view for comparison? It also has smooth rounded corners top and bottom.

	Thank you, leif, zephyr and tktoo! That's exactly the kind of detailed instruction I was hoping for. I had though about making a plywood jig and using bar clamps but wasn't sure if there was a better way. I think I will do that. A friend has some long bar clamps that I can borrow. I have Titebond 2 on hand. I will definitely do a dry run. I tend to get into trouble most of the time when I skip that step and realize when I'm too far into it to stop that I forgot to have some essential thing within reach...or something. I'll post an 'after' shot when I get it back together.
	Bonjour Bonsoir,	1 Relevance	11 years ago	racecar	General discussion
	Bonjour Bonsoir, I have no idea about the mirror. Maybe The Persistence of Memory by Dalí? For the light atmosphere spacial thing, you might look to James Turrell and Olafer Eliasson for inspiration. Not exactly what you describe of course, but they do fantastic things with light and space. I'd recommend going to the library or book store and looking through design books for a few hours. good luck with the projects
	Bought the Peelaway	1 Relevance	13 years ago	danielmpoole	General discussion
	Bought the Peelaway Results to follow. Definitely been painted (badly) but the good thing is that I can scrape off the paint with my nail so it should come off easily. Bj, I got a set: 2 chairs, sofa and a coffee table. I've seen a set (see photo) in a dark stain which look lovely. Although the stain does not look original, it sure does look nice http://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/seating/settees/pair-of-bent-plywood-se...
	hahahahaaaaa	1 Relevance	13 years ago	phonegirl	General discussion
	hahahahaaaaa "are you at all handy?" I'm sorry...when I stopped laughing...I'm sure I could do it if I tried but imagine that strategy as another project "waiting to happen". Ideally, the same guy who sharpens my knives and lawnmover blades would be able to rewire the lamp while I made him a coffee!! 🙂 I'm intrigued and plan to look on YouTube for a tutorial on "how to". But words like "the thing that goes..."...I have NO idea what you're referring to! 🙂 Love your confidence in my fictional "handy" ability!
	Thanks for sharing, woodywood.	1 Relevance	13 years ago	tktoo	General discussion
	Thanks for sharing, woodywood. I can see a theme emerging, though I'm a bit confused by the taxidermy. I'm sticking with hand-colored photograph on the young man. There looks to be both dry and aqueous mediums involved. 1880-1900, depending on region, but it looks European to me based on style of attire and my gut. Your other over-worked photograph of the bearded man could be American. What's that silver-painted metal thing that EH likes so much?
	replying to self #3 -	1 Relevance	15 years ago	waffle	General discussion
	replying to self #3 - folks, can I contact Mobler directly? They still exist, correct? PP Mobler? Is there a better way to request assistance? Thing is, the rocking chair is v. curious. 6 spindles, tool marks. But clearly a model 182. Not marked. I just really wonder if this is an early, odd, or rare example. I have not reached out to a manufacturer before and just want to make sure it's feasible! EDIT - Well, I did it anyway. They had an INFO@ address so I took a shot at that. Very interested to see if I get a response!
	Your	1 Relevance	17 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Your sensitivity to intrinsic (as opposed to monetary) value is commendable. I don't fault you at all for trying to do the right thing for these pieces -- even if I myself would have given them away at the first opportunity. After all, you like them (apparently) and are concerned that perhaps others who might own them later would regret having them disfigured by the wrong upholstery or other changes. I don't see how anyone could fail to respect that. "Collectable" is not always synonymous with "monetary value," is the lesson of this episode -- or could be, anyway. Thanks for showing us. (I am surprised, as you are, by those early dates, by the way. The plating seems in very fine shape -- almost as if they hadn't been in use all that time ?)

	I'm at a loss to get your... I'm at a loss to get your point. I never said that there were NO skateboarders who liked jazz. My opinions are not based on ignorance, I assure you. Next time a horde of teenage boys are annoying the sh*t out of everyone at the local park I'll go up and ask them what their favorite Miles Davis LP is...although I know that the answer will be a blank stare followed by an F.U. I would have done the same thing at their age. Anyhow, this thread is way off topic now and just bound to veer farther off course, so we'll just have to agree to disagree. Dude.
	I think it was November 7,...	1 Relevance	19 years ago	Big Television Man	General discussion
	I think it was November 7,... I think it was November 7, 1980 that the modern era cool died (the day Steve passed away) And while no one can ever take his place, one can certainly aspire to it. You my friend are heading in the right direction. His performance in LeMans was taut, understated and absolutely note perfect. To say nothing of the fact that virtually any Porsche will impart a bit of coolness. My wife looks at me like I'm from another planet when I prattle on about the Dr's exquisite engineering, must be a guy thing.
	How can I tell if it's echt or ersatz Eames?	1 Relevance	21 years ago	ms.muffy	General discussion
	How can I tell if it's echt or ersatz Eames? Hello, I'm clueless! But thankfully my Google-search quest for knowledge has led me here. I just bought an Eames(y) chair off Craigslist, and was hoping to find a checklist of ways to tell if it's the real thing or not. I flipped it over and didn't notice any obvious marks. Can anyone tell just by looking? http://www.flickr.com/photos/26117668@N00/122840124/ Thanks in advance for any info...

	In other words, we increasingly opt for something "unnatural" but controllable, over "the real thing" which is (naturally) less controllable. Surely this began with primitive man's earliest domestications, which were attempts to secure greater comfort and reliability of food source, protection from predators, etc etc. So the current phase is just a "high-tech" extension of that, made possible by our latest technical advances. You think?
