| Just one more of those Sharper Image type conspicuous over-consumption toys for douchebags... an "executive gift" for the Escalade or Hummer driver wearing the "performance" clothing with the stupid bluetooth thing in the ear talking and talking and talking Disposable gifts are a huge industry. This is just a "higher end" version of the cheap stuffed teddy bear clutching the plastic heart that plays the horrible electronic song when you press the button at the gas station... Money is better burned but there are so many suckers... | |||||
| I like the part about Trump! | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Eameshead | Off topic | |
| I like the part about Trump! Trump Trump Trump. Is this the Trump Thread now? Just kidding. This sounds great SDR. I can't wait until I have a little more time to hear the whole thing. Re: the "Narcissist desperately in need of the approval of other people": I was serious when I worried out loud that Donald's run might end in some kind of sad drama / event. If approval is his main need, then all the dis-approval he has received (in spite of his wins) has to be eating him up. How could it not? He acts like he's made of teflon, but I don't buy it. Everybody wants approval, everybody has feelings. Everybody has tacky wallpaper from Caesar's Palace, and everybody has a gold toilet. We are all the same, right? | |||||
| That is an odd response for | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| That is an odd response for FH, considering that the upholstery (esp the nail heads) is quite odd "Probably original" is the sort of thing one would say if it looked quite plausibly original in every way. However the nailheads on this upholstery are very far from plausibly original, so it is hard to understand how to interpret such a response. I would want to keep looking for confirmation that upholstery like this was ever done. Perhaps a catalog photo or something. Otherwise, I don't think many knowledgeable people are going to interpret your emails with certainty. The nailhead upholstery is just too incomprehensible to stand up to any but the most definitive proof. | |||||
| OK guys so I finally managed... | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | Mamer | General discussion | |
| OK guys so I finally managed... OK guys so I finally managed to free that C-Clamp. It only took about 5 minutes w/ some Bar Keepers Friend and it snapped right off (gotta snag a new one now). Anyway I was kinda expecting that the chair would slide right off the base but they seem to be just as attached as ever. There is some sort of round bolt looking thing that goes around the post that the clamp was attached to. Is this holding the chair together still? I've included a picture below. Let me know what you guys think. | |||||
| Carlo Jensen was the designer | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| Carlo Jensen was the designer. He was part owner of Hundevad & Co (as in part of the '& Co'). The tops on the daughter tables are made of a core of solid Afrormosia, with teak veneer top and bottom, which is an interesting thing, not too commonly seen. And be careful with the legs on the mothership. There is are 4 steel bars embedded in it with threads. If you torque the legs you can rip the top apart. I had one that this happened to. All I still have are the little daughter tables. There are very few things that can coexist as a side table to a Papa Bear, and the daughters happen to be one of them. | |||||
| You have some nice things there. | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| You have some nice things there. But you also have some that are not as nice. Mostly you have A LOT OF STUFF. All crammed in together. Overcrowded objects make a space look more like a consignment shop than a home. It looks as if you're stuffing the place with every single thing you've ever gotten that you think is cool (except yeah, i know it's only a tiny fraction of what you've bought since you've been doing this). What I'm saying is that the overall design of your home needs some heavy editing. If you can't bear to part with any of those objects, then store 3/4 of them in the attic or garage and rotate your displays. Even your kitschier pieces will look a little classier with some space around them. As it is, every object in there is competing visually with five or six others, or more. | |||||
| quite possibly | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | phoduct | General discussion | |
| quite possibly Thats what I am starting to think. Initially when I got this sideboard, I immediately thought Danish Modern but I am now starting to doubt that. I don't know anywhere near enough about this kind of furniture to make a call on that though. I was really hoping that someone would recognise the detailing such as the higes, which are quite unusual, or the inset double square magnets for door catching, which again I would not have thought were an "off the shelf" item. I might have to try and track down the previous owners, which might be possible. A positive of this quandry is that the more time I spend staring at the thing, the more I like it... Still hoping for a positive id though, hopefully someone will come along. Thanks for all input so far | |||||

| Yes, it is a simple process. ... Yes, it is a simple process. Some aspects of it are a little tricky and it's hard on the hands. But if you check your work as you go and fix even the smallest problems as they occur---an overlapping cord, too much or too little space between cords---you can do it. Get the Caner's Handbook (or other good how-to) and re-read the directions several times as you work. It's the kind of thing that you have to do to understand, sort of. The directions will make more sense once you're into it. The weave looks really complex, but it's actually not. If you are even a little bit handy, it's worth a try. And the materials are cheap so if you decide you can't handle it, you're not out a lot of money. | |||||
| more thoughts | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | James-2 | General discussion | |
| more thoughts I considered the ESU for over a year and it was the only Eames piece I had trouble justifying the price. I thought maybe the price was so expensive due to low quantity being made each year or maybe they are making each part and not using "off the shelf" parts. I considered making one and I couldn't find uprights that looked the same, only ones with several hole that varied on size. one plus is when buying the real thing, it has a resell value. When I put my post a few days ago, I hoped for what i got, good words about the ESU. I just needed that extra pat on the back to order it. | |||||
| A router, you say.. A Dremel router? | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |
| A router, you say.. A Dremel router? Circumstances allow me to try a router before I try a band saw. Thanks for the idea, SDR [and it's nice to hear from you again. I just read your posts to that music thread some time ago. I'll have to listen to Bach being played on a harpsichord sometime, but,I don't know, I think that piano-forte thing was quite a nice innovation, and Gould exploited it pretty well.-)] I own a Dremel rotary tool, and I've got a little router table attachment for it - I'll give that a shot. What exactly should I be trying for with the edges? Should expect them to be a little ragged? Then I'd want to scrape, sand, flame polish them? | |||||

But soon it'll be wall clocks, floor clocks, grandfather clocks, bank clocks, train station clocks, exceeded bandwidth allocation, more servers, double electricity... Next thing you know the whole system just starts breaking down from there, until the forum loses all power, causing a cataclysmic explosion of multiple power surges that begin to...

| That one doesn't have raised ... That one doesn't have raised panels, I prefer it, a checquered version? Not sure about the edges of mdf taking a good finish, always been a bit nasty in my experience, grooved and laminated good pine or beech with a finish cut blade on the saw would be finer in my opinion. Its a fairly simple thing really, less work than the Aalto screen. Yeah theres a lot coming technologically, its taking a while though, where is this adhesive based on how clams attach themselves to rocks? | |||||
| design chimere ? | 1 Relevance | 21 years ago | designite | General discussion | |
| design chimere ? Anti design is the counterpart of the good taste. anti-design is so confortable and satisfying the one who do not care a dumb thing about aesthetic etiquette. It is great to know that chimeres exist. So far, they also have moved to drugs and antoparts (e.g),because chimeres are a serious alternative to brand and design. Not that much of us can afford an AALTO artek new cantilever armchair, that's why chimeric IKEA (another e.g) built its niche," for ever and for everyone" (another chimeric plagiat of the National Trust)... | |||||
| Old thread info, hanging on a wall | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | James Collins | General discussion | |
| There was a thread in the past year that I've been unable to find in the [search] since I can't remember any of the actual words except "wall" and "hang". It was a thread about covering walls and some suggestion a piece of hanger hardware that had two parts. It was a channel that's put on the wall and a hanger on the thing being hung that slips into the channel. There was a link for the supplier and everything. I want to use it for a table I'm having made. It would support the console table along the back so it needs only the one leg. Anyone remember? | |||||
| DCW & DCM | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | LuciferSum | General discussion | |
| DCW & DCM I love my Evans DCM. The woodgrain is beautiful and patina-ed. I can hardly wait for the rest of my pieces to catch up! And of course, I have a special place in my heart for the very VERY battered old DCW that brought me into this special Modern World. Poor thing is beat to hell, but I still smile every time I see it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/38178174@N00/396854230/in/set-72157594547078868/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/38178174@N00/396913736/in/set-72157594547078868/ | |||||
