	That was well written! Your... That was well written! Your theory is really sound, and I like the starbucks analogy. We see the same thing happening in "Blue Blood" muscle cars as well. The rare types are being price influenced, at Auctions like Barret Jackson in January. The prices get pumped up, and many times its key players pushing select cars, trying to get an illusion going that something is worth a go-zillion dollars. thanks
	Thanks so much all for taking	1 Relevance	9 years ago	dhoeffn	Identification
	Thanks so much all for taking the time to respond to my post. Much appreciated. The top is very very solid like you say leif. Also, checking out the cleats better they are glued on in addition to being screwed on and reading about wood expansion and cleats, gluing is not a great thing. They feel very well glued and I do not think I can get them off without having to shred the cleats. Also half of one of the old dowels is in one cleat still with a screw in it that I can't seem to get to back out without stripping it. Fun fun. Thanks again for the responses.
	It has to do with the finish.	1 Relevance	11 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	General discussion
	It has to do with the finish. If it is an oil finish that is intended to be continually renewed, you need to continue oiling it, if it is dirty, it is good to clean it. (Not that either thing is hard, but they must be done right). Ib Kofod Larsen's stained beech Selig chairs have a finish that is very different, and not meant to be renewed, and much, much harder to redo. Another way of looking at it is to think about whether it can be redone just like it was done at the factory. If the answer is no, then it is a reasonable to think that you will damage the value, either tomorrow or someday.
	foxxxy's right,	1 Relevance	14 years ago	Solange	General discussion
	foxxxy's right, I suggest you now cease any further contact with the seller, who has clearly revealed their (craven) agenda, and go through ebay, who will likely force the seller to do the right thing (as per foxxxy's suggestion). I can see no reason for the seller to have a portion of your insurance claim...to fill out a form or make a phone call on behalf of a paying customer should be considered (if nothing else), the cost of doing business...

	Yes, you know how you read th... Yes, you know how you read that people can throw up when very upset? I never really believed it. I'm quite keen on the kitchen crafts market stall thing, spoke to some people who do it and they do quite well, they get to meet people actually interested in what they do and get out and about, lots of positives to it and still all the design challenges in the smaller things. A lot of the work at those places is a bit so so too, a small increase in looks and quality would be very attractive to customers I think.
	thanks everyone for the help	1 Relevance	16 years ago	schef MCM	General discussion
	thanks everyone for the help thanks a ton guys, i know going with the gut is a good thing, i didnt want that last chair simply cause it felt wrong even though it was right, call me a weirdo, it was a real Eames by HM no doubt but I needed something better and i am a sucker for that new leather smell, i will say i didnt expect the special leather to be so much, so i wont be getting that, i found a company selling new ones with the discontinued leather (8) for 3299 which isnt bad at all. ill be picking one up soon.
	University finds	1 Relevance	19 years ago	finch	General discussion
	University finds I recently strolled around the campus of Florida Southern College while passing through Lakeland Florida a few months ago. It's a bit of a crumbling beauty. You want to take the whole thing home with you. There were a few pieces that looked like they might have been designed by Wright himself, relegated to the furthest corners. http://www.bluffton.edu/~sullivanm/florida/lakeland/floridasouthern/wrig...

	What about the color? ... What about the color? Should I just go for some sort of pure white? I should probably shoot the base of my dining table at the same time, or have them do it, so they'll be sure to match up correctly. I'm probably worrying too much. These guys are used to color matching all the time. This should be an easy one for them. I know what you mean on the filler. I worked a bit at a sailboat shop in college. I avoided the repairs as much as possible. Breathing in glass fibers wasn't my thing.... later, m
	last posts	1 Relevance	12 years ago	kate kaplan	General discussion
	last posts at least for now - if anyone wants a closer look at an item, I might have a photograph - or, I might have some info on where the thing was sold - and if anyone has anything to add, I'd love to hear it. In the meantime, the Sloan's ad is from 1958, well outside the New Dimensions period, but its inclusion with those materials probably means that my father designed the furniture, when he was freelancing after New Dimensions closed. the final pic is a page from the 1953 Akron Art Institute Young Designers show. I hope you've all enjoyed this. I have.

	For some time I have been... For some time I have been looking forward to the day when I have enough money saved to buy an Isamu Noguchi Series E hanging lamp. They cost about 1,200 USD. They are made of paper. I imagine that a cat, dog, or small child could destroy one in a manner of seconds. What's that you say? Lit Up does not believe that the inexpensive and non-durable materials make it a worthy "investment", and that I would be a fool or a mook to buy such a thing? Perhaps some day I will get back to you on that, in the unlikely event that I happen to give a shit.
	.	1 Relevance	15 years ago	HPau	General discussion
	. Thanks SPD, I got the twin screw vice and a few other things a couple of weeks ago, its good to hear that you use them and that they are good, I had only imagined they would be, it seems expensive but isn't really. I think I'll need another set. I am going to post the design for a loose tenoning 'machine' I have come up with, I can't afford a festo domino and am worried about servicing and accesories for the thing anyway, please comment, I'll need experienced critique before I go ahead with it. Pegboard, weren't the second generations ESUs' structurally more sound than the first?

	. God yes, it feels like the last few months have been awful everywhere. It will be a good wake up call whatever occurs as to where we site industrial facilities of any sort, the flood maps here are all being redrawn. I dislike television but can also laugh at myself and the stereotypes on either side of the argument, it is pretty funny really. I don't think anyone here if they met face to face would really have any problems, compared to other forums this lovely place is amazingly polite, its a fine thing.

	WRONG-KA-BOB Repros DON'T look the same. (If you think they do, then you need to look harder) Repros DON'T work the same. (That is the most WRONG thing you said above) Repros are UN-REASONABLE facsimiles. FAKES. FAKES. FAKES. Get one, you deserve to learn the hard way. But thank you for your spirited defense of such a horrible viewpoint.

	I must not have been very... I must not have been very clear: The first thing I noticed when I looked at the chair was that there are those two plugs/screws on the front leg. Odd detail. I think I would have expected to see only one. And I can't remember ever seeing a Danish chair like that. And you are in New Zealand. And down in Australia and New Zealand there are very Danish looking pieces that are local production. So, the possibility that it was produced local to you suggests itself.
