	Ah, yes, I see now. That	1 Relevance	8 years ago	tktoo	Repair
	Ah, yes, I see now. That definitely needs fixing. I'd use West System 105/205, two layers of 6 oz. E-glass cloth laid bi-axially, peel-ply, and do the whole thing all at once. You'll need to pry out the T-nuts first and plug the holes so they don't leak resin and figure out a clamping strategy that will keep everything flat. Lots of good instruction/advice on the West System site if you're not experienced with fiberglass layups.

	Trying to source flecked retro fabric-any ideas?	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Twin Palms Vintage	General discussion
	I'm based in the uk and I'm planning to reupholster a Space Age Craft Associates sofa. I'm trying to source a nubby, flecked tweed fabric. I've tried Bute and Kvadrat but although they have similar fabrics their colours are a bit sedate. I'd like a more colourfully flecked pattern (like an 80s suit lol) but don't know where to source such a thing. Any advice would be gratefully appreciated. ck clive_kelly at hotmail.com
	Hi Aunt Mark,	1 Relevance	10 years ago	DjL	General discussion
	Hi Aunt Mark, Thanks for your comment on my coffee table. I do like some thing askew but this table is square with the sectional. It is a Paul Kjaerholm knockoff that has the appearance just like you have pointed out.
	Yes, SDR, the irony is	1 Relevance	11 years ago	Riki	Off topic
	Yes, SDR, the irony is precious. And, yes, I have to sign in every time. Happy birthday, Mark. Those of us born in '62 are all a little weird. I'm blaming it on Kennedy. Happy New Year, my friends, and may this be the year we all find the one thing we've been searching for diligently. For me, it's a damned Murano glass shade for an outdoor lamp that I bought 6 years ago. Why, why, why do I buy things that need a part?
	Forgiven anger… a great gift	1 Relevance	11 years ago	Eameshead	Off topic
	Forgiven anger… a great gift for the Holidays. You say some great things Mark, and it is truly amazing what kinds of things trigger such specific emotions. Sound is often such a thing. I cry more than I used to. But in a good way I think. Not like Im sobbing my way through each day or anything… I think it has something to do with the epic-ness of time, and the passing of it, and some of those markers of course, and a cheesy movie does it once in a while. And CW. EDIT: "Will your lawyer talk to god for me?" SDR did I miss something? Of course I did.
	Walter Bosse hedgehog	1 Relevance	12 years ago	Riki	General discussion
	Walter Bosse hedgehog found today at a brocante fair for 2 Swiss francs. It is ticking all the boxes for being authentic (this thing was copied numerous times) except it is all brass and not black & brass like one normally thinks of. What do you think? Authentic? P.S. Spanky, post a photo after you redo the cushions on that chair. Good find!
	yeah...	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	yeah... shawnaugust, Maybe I am being too optimistic. Once a place is filled up, the process does slow down a bit. I do have a real hard time keeping from sending an email when I see a laughably HORRIBLE knock-off Nelson clock on ebay with a description along side of it that says: "....will lend authenticity to your mid century decor". Authenticity! That is the one thing it will NOT lend to a room.
	HM logo on shock mount?	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Poach	General discussion
	HM logo on shock mount? Backing up woody's comment, I've owned hundreds of these chairs, and have never seen the HM logo on the shock mounts. There are often letters and numbers on them, but I assume those to be lot or mold cavity markings for quality control. Maybe it's a Vitra-specific thing. Seeing the new pictures, the legs also appear to be something other than Herman Miller / U.S. production (too shiny).
	.	1 Relevance	15 years ago	HPau	General discussion
	. yes, it was a reasonable sized tree. I wonder if there is such a thing as a small (say 30 x 15 inch) veneer slicer available? Or if one could be made? The ones I've seen in operation were huge hut there is so much 'únusable' wood around that could be converted into veneer for Luthiers and box makers...You can bandsaw it but thats wasteful I think. You need to heat (the tanks were hot and steamy and smelled of molasses, I never asked) the log but something guitar sized could be done fairly easily.

	Thanks all. It sounds like s... Thanks all. It sounds like she is now convinced that the chair will benefit greatly from having the buttons, and she will find someone who can do it. She should, as she got a good enough deal on both chairs that I could have strangled her. She just bought a late 50's house, and I emailed her some photos of some 670's, saying how great they might look in her house, and the next thing I know she finds two of them a couple weeks later, as her very first Mid-Century purchase. I guess maybe it helps to live near Zeeland.
	Awesome Orange	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Friend of Design	General discussion
	Awesome Orange Hi I talked to my vintage source. He says the best thing he has tried is a product called Awesome Orange which you can get at Walmart. His directions are to wet the whole fabric then gently work the stained area with a soft brush (toothbrush) or finger nail until it lifts the stain. Let air dry. I can't tell very well from the image but are you sure that is hopsak and not polyknit? Good Luck!
	The one-off is fine	1 Relevance	18 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	The one-off is fine The DCM is fine- a simple joke about Memphising up a MCM design. Clever. Got the punchline. Move on. What would be amazing is if Starck took the Prince Charles and made the entire thing out of polished aluminum, lucite, and mashed potatoes painted gold with ray-guns stenciled onto it. Seriously. Because all of those things are classics, but like, you're using new materials. So it's clever.
	Thanks	1 Relevance	18 years ago	rockybird	General discussion
	Thanks for your advice. This desk needs a lot of work. The laminate top is completely scratched up - like someone took scissors and cut it in many places. The colored wood is completely faded, chipped. I showed pics to a carpenter who says he can relaminate it. I dont know if that is a bad thing to do to a vintage piece? I would also prefer a vintage original, but this one does have some issues and I am trying to decide if it is worth fixing. I appreciate any more input. 🙂

	I'd imagine this one has alre... I'd imagine this one has already been seen by enough folks, even though the seller appears possibly to have missed the boat. Were it not a 'live auction', I'd bet their email would already be full with Buy It Now offers. It is always fun to see this kind of thing happening on Ebay. Even more fun by far: to know that this set was apparently part of Wilson Pickett's estate. If one looks close enough, you can almost see Little Richard shaking his head as Pickett approaches the bar.
