	Bad taste is the problem not redundancy.	1 Relevance	13 years ago	maniqz	General discussion
	... were thoughtfully designed by designers who toiled hours and hours to get it right. And now comes a buyer who'd buy fakes just for the looks and ignorant of the function of the piece. Akin to a guy who buys a car and replace the wheel into a monster 22" diameter size disregarding how a car drives and throws off the real intent of the car designer. Good taste can't be bought. One has to have the understanding and respect towards the designer and the object.
	Oooh --	1 Relevance	13 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Oooh -- that's a good idea. White mannequin, white room, wooden splint -- displayed to show what the **** it actually is . . . ! On the wall, concave side out, it's already got some "space" around it even if hung directly from the sheetrock ? Not very heavy, so one or two of the screw-in gypboard mounts, with screw-eye or cup hook applied to that . . . Done. Check that everything's the right diameter while at the hardware store.
	I think 300,000	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	... thinner and has smaller diameter yarns than Tonus. It's really nice fabric but Tonus has a little bit extra give for curvy pieces. I have seen 50-year-old Swan chairs with the original Tonus on them and it was worn but not to the point of having holes in it. I wouldn't hesitate to put it on a chair for home use, especially a valuable chair. The Milestone has less give, not because it's durable but because it's a polyester with a kind of a tight weave. Wool is a much more malleable fiber. The fiber just by itself has a lot more give to it than strands o ...
	score!	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	score! four Børge Mogensen J39 chairs for 10 bucks each! I have to redo the seats but I have been wanting to practice with the bigger diameter cord so that's cool. I have a soft spot for these. This was the first piece of Danish MCM furniture that I ever bought--got one from Roxy Antik in Copenhagen in 1998 when we lived over there. I just liked it. I still have that one.
	Base	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Jimbo	General discussion
	Base If you have the bronze bushing and it is worn out. It will need to be replaced with another bronze bushing. The internal diameter of both are the same but the external diameter of the bronze bushing is larger than the plastic hub liner
	I've seen their site!	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	I've seen their site! I haven't ordered from them because i haven't had a need to yet, but I was very impressed with the range of dimensions you can choose from. My daughter needs a shade that is 5" diameter and 30" long, or something weird like that, and they were the only place that came even close.

	I'm well aware of that - but ... I'm well aware of that - but there's lots of loungers out there with four stars. I just converted my management chair to one, and guess what: it's functionally a non-issue (at least for me). The travel diameter of the casters is smaller too (which I like a lot), but it still sits very stable - even if I tilt back with hands as far as I can reach behind me. Have to say though, that my 5'9" height definitely helps. did I mention that I'm glad not to be taller?
	I'm almost embarrassed to post this,	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	I'm almost embarrassed to post this, but here goes. First photo is of the seat of my Wegner J16 rocker which I rewove two or three times with the appropriate bigger diameter paper cord. It was so awful each time that I ripped it out and started over but I could never get it even close to square as I worked. Finally I gave up and did it in the more common diameter cord which is used on all the Moller chairs and others. IT LOOKS SO AWFUL. I knew at the time that it wasn't very good but now that I have a whole lot more experience weaving in general, I'm kin ...

	... to bare wood and this is because when I purchased the previous owner had painted a few times in a bright orange as seen in photos. In 1960 after Herman Miller manufactured the Time Life Stools they began to produce the stools in different woods and designs as prototypes to see which one was going to be mass produced in the end they decided to use Walnut with a more symmetrical stool. The other very rare prototypes I have seen are made of Mahogany and Oak and have been found in the areas surrounding the Herman Miller factory and area where employees live. I ...

	... the wood shuttle. We made a number of these ourselves and quickly realized they need to be at least 1/2" plywood or they will break. Hardwood will be best for a longer lasting tool. Do not start from the middle as it will just slide toward the narrower point and bunch up. Start from one arm and work toward the center. First place the rush on the inside of the arm then wrap around it to insure that it will not unravel. Glue will not be necessary. You can reuse or replace the cardboard on the inside but in the end it didn't affect the tautness. It is im ...
	It's groovy ... Or whatever...	1 Relevance	14 years ago	cubby01	General discussion
	It's groovy ... Or whatever... It's groovy ... Or whatever term came after groovy in the late 80s. It's not you're typical crafty rug hooker fare. I might even call it art although more commercial wall decor than art to me. I've seen some very similar before long ago but can't place exactly what setting. FWIW, I also took 'wicked large' to be 'very large'. Must be a generational thing. :-). It wasn't until later I reread and realized it was only 3ft diameter.

	... It's also a tiny bit smaller in diameter. Just a hair. Their prices for the natural cord are more than double that of Frank's. If you are considering getting some, I would just check with them first about the origin. http://disc.yourwebapps.com/discussion.cgi?disc=220033;article=12270;tit...
	Interesting!	1 Relevance	14 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	Interesting! The stuff I tested never got back to its original diameter. Maybe it was the Baltimore humidity. Look for a dye that works on cellulose. Rit might not work. You also want something permanent that isn't going to rub off on some sweaty dude's white golf pants, y'know?

	... upholstered seat. I think there is a little corner detail at each leg post, but it's so minor that I don't think it makes a noticeable difference. I have done a lot of dyeing, though not of papercord. I do know that the dye will likely not penetrate the entire cord. What this means in the long term, I'm not sure. Maybe nothing. The other thing is you'd have to test the cord first to see if it swells when the dye soaks in. Water causes it to swell and in my experiments it does not shrink completely back to its original diameter when dry. This isn't a ...
	Moller chairs have always had...	1 Relevance	14 years ago	tchp	General discussion
	Moller chairs have always had... Moller chairs have always had either 17 nails in the front and back, or 19 (it has to be an odd number). I do not know that it is critical, but I believe that the inexpensive, thinner diameter cord I have bought from Frank's looks better when you use 19 nails, and the slightly thicker "Danish imported" cord that some of the other suppliers carry looks better with 17.
