	It should	1 Relevance	17 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	It should be obvious that the Smart 4Two isn't intended to compete with other subcompacts; its unique attribute is its extreme short length, which enables it to park where where no other car can. Like it or not, this is the direction that the urban car is headed, one way or another. It is possible (I haven't researched this) that poor mileage -- based on an expected miracle number ? -- is the result of drivers using the car as a highway vehicle, where its poor aerodynamics (tall and short, not low and slippery) would work against efficiency. Also, it's l ...

	... and dressers they sell at places like DWR and Room and Board. Have you been impressed with the quality? How about price? Expensive, no? That is because they are expensive to make. Wood is expensive and the kinds of craftsmen you need to make quality cabinetry are expensive. Take a look at Daniel Donnelly's site. He is copying both the basic cabinet group and the thin-edge group. They cost as much or more than vintage pieces in excellent condition. Again, I'm sure that is because they are very expensive to produce. I really don't understand why you would enc ...

	Thanks for the replies guys... Thanks for the replies guys -- I tried using a bit of Brasso on the inside of the planter and, welp, it appears the things simply got a brass coating as I managed to rub it off on a small portion. So I'm leaving it. It's beautiful in some areas and hideous in other, more prominent, areas. C'est la vie. I guess when you brass-plate something, you kind of dictate whether or not it can be polished...

	That sounds good. But the architecture of the entryway (both inside and outside) might dictate that open-out during the day would work better. . .?

	... i'm unaware of any prevailing compulsion that would dictate my doing so. the same would be true if the item were available at several times its market value. i am free to buy, to walk away or to engage the seller in a conversation regarding the asking price. my liberties, however, do not require any particular action; i am free to do as i see fit. i do think this is an informed view, but i do admit to having a fairly decent history of 'getting good deals' at rummage sales and flea markets, so i'm at least open to the notion that my personal conviction on th ...

	... and shiny, plastic toys. A baby or small child will have no preconceptions or preferences, let alone a more sophisticated pallet. But given time and the opportunity to try various toys, they will soon let you know which they prefer. It?s a bit like food. Give them heavily salted or sugary foods and they will prefer those to less 'tasty' foods. I have often felt that giving babies and small children whole packets of crisps (potato chips), or candy as I often observe parents doing, is overdosing or over-stimulating the child with sugar or salt. Likewise with ...
	Ho ho ho	1 Relevance	19 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Ho ho ho Well, Don says he wants to make U-shaped chair shell pieces from wood "laminates" (veneers) so this is either a male form with the veneers pressed to it in a vacuum bag, or the veneers clamped between a male and a female form. I have done both, though not a deep shape such as is needed here. As the form is time-consuming to make, if all the parts can be made on the same form it would be an advantage. But the design will dictate that.

	... that I have on my walls is a combination of traditional landscape & figurative painting, contemporary abstract pieces, and mixed media sculpture. I assume that status would dictate only certain pieces, by recognized artists, in a certain period. But I chose each peice for the same reason I chose each piece of furniture: because I like it.

	There is nothing about the... There is nothing about the Cistercian order's beliefs and values that dictate that the sanctuary ceiling needs to be the height that it is. Nor is there anything about their beliefs and values that determines that the brothers sit in opposition to each other. Nor is there anything about their beliefs and values that dictates that the brothers ought to be placed that distance apart from each other. It is all mannerist contrivance masquerading as a rigorous design solution. Why are there two steps and not one, or three leading to ...

Who would choose the hand-made version at the vastly inflated price ? I don't have the answer though I'd imagine our guy who flew round the planet for his bottle of wine would choke on it at the thought of purchasing the more cost effective option !

	Thank you Lucifer.... Thank you Lucifer. "furniture such as Nakashima's, where the whole point is to let the wood itself dictate the form. Nakashima is most forceful when he inveighs against design as it is usually thought of, the expression of a personal idea." -John Kelsey ..."wood is a product of nature, of something beyond man, a gift we should treasure and use in the most logical and beautiful way, and personal expression is quite illegitimate. It's an arrogant conceit, and we have too much conceit in our society." -Nakashima 1979 jan/feb Fine Woodworki ...
	There are	1 Relevance	19 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	There are many factors that dictate the shape and size of a residence (or any other building); the tall and narrow house may be the response to unavoidable economic, zoning, and/or real estate issues. That said, there are many kinds of "modern" just as there are many kinds of fish, or trucks, or movies: to each its own reason for being. I like to compare the residence to other consumer choices and to other kinds of manufactured objects. Should we expect every Chevy or Ford sedan to be a unique and individual response to its owners lifestyle ? How much wou ...
