	Custom Hardware	1 Relevance	21 years ago	deaddigits	General discussion
	I am working on a project which requires some custom hardware. I don't know if I just need to go to a machine shop and have it made there or if there is a company that might be suggested who focuses on this very thing. I am speaking of pulls and cabinet type hardware, by the way. I have found a few companies that look like they may or may not produce items to specifications; this becomes especially dicey when it comes to the materials that a given establishment works in. It seems an obstacle to find, for example a shop that will both make my part, and do it in stainless; or at least anything other than brass. Does anyone here know where I might look? Thanks~David
	Thank YOU to the DA angel...	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	Thank YOU to the DA angel... (For bailing me out in my failed first attempt to post an image.) Adamfowler, I will see what I can do. (New printer to set up before I can scan something) But thankfully my wonderful wife will most likely do that today... at any rate, I will eventually come through. I am certainly a technology basket case! At the very worst, I can always take cell phone photos of a few 8 x 10 glossies, "old school" style. Funny thing is, I have STACKS and STACKS of installation photos. But I did most of my damage PRE internet, so I am below the radar.
	Seriously?	1 Relevance	14 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	Seriously? Scandiman, even I can tell the difference. The weaving is piss-poor, the top rail is made from at least three pieces of wood, there's a flat spot at the top of each front leg, the front and rear stretchers aren't shaped like the real thing... And I'm not familiar enough with the chair to know, but the overall size and proportions are probably wrong, too. And that doesn't even address the issues that would be immediately obvious in person, like wood quality or structural integrity.
	Yes, educate yourself.	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	Yes, educate yourself. Dealers aren't going to be eager to appraise your stuff if they suspect you're going to turn around and sell it, thus competing with their business. Which you are. I've been to about a zillion auctions at this point in my life and I can't tell you how many times I've seen a newbie ask a regular what something is worth. No one ever tells them a thing. Well, maybe some misleading info now and then if the regular is kind of a jerk. It's a very competitive business and the most reliable way to learn is to teach yourself with good reference books.
	Pegboard, if you don't mind,...	1 Relevance	16 years ago	jesgord	General discussion
	Pegboard, if you don't mind,... Pegboard, if you don't mind, could you email me the name of the upholsterer in Chicago. I'm at my username here, followed by the thing that looks like an "a" with a curved tail, followed by gmail.com. Aside from loving the brown/caramel upholstery on these chairs, I have been struck by the fact that they often bring a higher price than when upholstered in black. Clearly there are other variables at play, but take a look at the link from Wright below....it's an interesting phenomenon. http://www.wright20.com/search/jacobsen_egg/0
	Another Dieter Rams "homage?"	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Monochrome	General discussion
	Another Dieter Rams "homage?" I noticed the same thing on the original iphone. But why not steal from the best? It's a graphic solution vastly superior to the incredibly lame clip-art-like hodgepodge of icons that represent "Photo," "Settings," etc. on the main screen. Beats me why the sophistication of Apple's product design and advertising ain't matched by the design of the graphics on the flagship product. If I'm missing something, please tell me.
	lynch mob	1 Relevance	19 years ago	modernisbetter	General discussion
	lynch mob this thread seems to be more of a lynch mob than a group of people trying to solve a problem. there are two sides of the story and perhaps those so intent on bringing the wrath of god on this poor little dealer man should look at why you are spewing such rage at such an insignificant little story. going to the media? causing his life difficulty?, ruining his business? ever think that this guy may think he did nothing wrong as he talked to employees of the store ? it seems he did pay for it and didn't walk out with the thing. get real. you guys really should chill.
	RE: weaving the back of a Wegner Ch25	1 Relevance	5 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	Hi! I'm still weaving chair seats but phasing it out. I don't really have the room to work on that kind of thing in my little condo. I quit doing upholstery 6+ (??) years ago though I redid an Overman sofa a year or two ago for one of my kids but only because I got to work on it at her house! I'm having loads of fun selling on Etsy now--midcentury-ish collectibles and housewares with a Scandinavian focus, sort of. Mostly things I would own myself if I had unlimited space to display and store things.
	Disgusted	1 Relevance	16 years ago	mdcounts	General discussion
	with chinese knockoffs!! I have seen the Eames, Nelson and even Wegner knockoffs but I have never seen this one!! A Finn Juhl model 133 spade chair on ebay! http://cgi.ebay.com/MID-CENTURY-MODERN-BELLA-LOUNGE-ARM-CHAIR-WALNUT-DANISH-/140472533698?pt=US_Chairs&hash=item20b4d0c2c2#ht_2035wt_876 The horrible thing is that it costs almost $900!! and will probably fall apart in 6 months!! Disgusted!! Anyone else??
	X-ray ?	1 Relevance	13 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	X-ray ? The packaging of Apple products is so carefully done that it seems almost precious. My Mac mini came wrapped in a die-cut clear plastic sheath, inside its cardboard drawer-box. The Apple store crew had very carefully cut through this envelope in order to release the product so they could "migrate" the data from my old computer, then rewrapped the thing. Maybe the next iteration will have a little "drop seat" die-cut into the sheath; it wouldn't surprise me . . .
	I don't know about that particular sofa, but	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	I don't know about that particular sofa, but I have worked on a number of Pearsall lounge chairs and they had all kinds of stuff like that. One had shims that didn't look all that necessary and were kind of in the way of my reupholstery so I removed them, but then the thing didn't sit right once I was done. Grrr. Pearsall frames are kinda gerry-rigged under the fabric. They're not made like conventional furniture and they are not terribly high quality. I would guess that your shims are original, in other words.
	5 blocks ?	1 Relevance	15 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	5 blocks ? You could balance it on the roof ! No, really, the drawers are more safely transported in place in the cabinet than anywhere else. For a long trip, drawer cabinets shouldn't be moved on their backs if the drawer fronts bear on the face frame and support the weight of the drawers. Upright and blanketed is the best thing, in that case. For you, on its back on a blanket, no wrapping if nothing else is going to be transported. Don't overthink it. . .

	Incredible website!!! I wish... Incredible website!!! I wish the fade to black film wasn't out of stock! It changes colors until finally it fades to pitch black. You can peel off the seal at any point to stop the process in place. How badass! Question, have you used the ND filter? It is supposed to make more even shots? Don't know if I'd even want that ... being that the wonderful thing about polaroid is the slightly unexpected outcome...
	I try	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Riki	General discussion
	I try to look at it like this. It's just like hunting through a flea market or a thrift store: 99% of the "what is this?" threads are crap, but every once in a while there is a little treasure! Aha! Yes, indeed. What is that lovely thing? And then research follows and knowledge and input from others and voila! So try to look at the threads as a treasure hunt. Altho, it's true. The Mahogany Assoc. threads are beyond tedious. And, I forgot to add, my absolute favorite threads are those where people post pictures of their own rooms/furniture/houses.
	Unfortunately the London Eye...	1 Relevance	18 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	Unfortunately the London Eye... Unfortunately the London Eye is a good few miles from where the Olympics will be held and anyway would be an expensive way to do it. Naturally enough the only people who will see the Olympics for free (apart from some schoolkids) will be the usual d -listers, liggers, hangers on and any number of besuited parasites. And their 'corporate' guests of course. Normal Londoners just have to pay for the thing -and pay handsomely. We get the disruption, the dust from the construction lorries and Lord Coe's bullshit for free though.
