| Thanks for the help! Leif, I think my question was the same as your question. 'Does the Lande label signify that Pearsall didn't make it?' Thanks cdsilva for reaching out and being helpful. The cool thing is that Pearsall stuff seems to not matter as much, in terms of value, if it has a label or not. People just like the Pearsall look/style. And this one is particularly well made. As a reseller, I am happy to have it. Thanks again! | |||||
| Hey Ken, | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | racecar | General discussion | |
| Hey Ken, I've successfully used raw tung oil (Enviro-Magic brand) on a cutting board, doing the same method you describe. Because it was a cutting board I didn't cut it with mineral spirits as a lot of woodworkers suggest. Just wiped on a coat, let it soak in for 20 minutes, wiped off excess, and let it cure for a few days and then buffed it with #0000 steel wool. Repeated that about 5 times. If the steel wool was gummy, I let it cure longer. The protection was really amazing. Red wine spills overnight on the board just wiped right up the next morning. I tri ... | |||||

| ... but as I said, I'm new to this lark. I'm learning more every day but there's so much to know that I'm glad there are places like this where much more knowledgable folk hang out. It's great having keen people to chat with. I'd assumed that they were made by different makers because they are subtly different and I didn't think anybody would make two products that were fundamentally the same - material quality aside. Etsy, eBay, Pinterest and even gumtree are my first pass research points for finding similar items, but to find anything other than somebody else ... | |||||
| I would clean any grime off | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| I would clean any grime off with whatever cleaning agent is appropriate for the finish, then go from there. Leif, where are you getting mattress toppers that are cheaper per cubic inch than foam by the slab? I researched that a few years ago and didn't find much price difference at all. I bought one anyway and it was such a soft density that I couldn't really use it for any furniture padding. It's still sitting around! I don't think it was advertised as soft density, I think the seller just didn't know anything about foam and was just using buzzwords tha ... | |||||

| I dyed a couple of HG boxes | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| I dyed a couple of HG boxes and shelves. The first step was to remove the old oil finish, which I did with alcohol and I think fine steel wool. It came off easily and quickly. It also left the wood very dry but re-oiling after dyeing fixed that. Getting the dye to match the old teak of the rest of the pieces in the wall unit was very hard. The finished pieces were all brighter and more intense than the old stuff but not to the point where it bugged me. It is now a couple of years later and either the dye color has evened out or I'm just used to it. But ... | |||||
| I've seen old Wishbones | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| I've seen old Wishbones without that odd strand in front. I don't know what it's there for either. I don't like it---I think because I spent SO much time on the first seat I ever did like this trying to figure out how to get that perfectly clean triangle of blank space. I was not doing the wraps correctly and kept getting one lone strand cutting across one long side of the triangle right near the edge of it and it bugged the hell out of me. The lone strand in the old Wishbones (and maybe new ones, I don't know--I only work on old ones!) doesn't intrude o ... | |||||

It's been awhile so I'm not sure I remember exactly what was so frustrating--I think it was that the cord didn't want to stay put on the underside of the rail in the first few rounds? Or maybe it just looked really wrong? I remember trying several different things and nothing looked right. Finally I just plunged ahead as if that's how it was supposed to be and pretty soon it looked right. It was just very different from a wishbone. Caleb James shows how to ... | |||||

| Whats a few enemies between friends? Gotta love politics. At least I was appropriately "off topic"? SDR, and possibly others, I hope I didn't bore you to sleep with my political haiku rants. I've quit worrying if friends or brother in law might like the Donald. I know its no better on the Dem's side but jeeze... The only thing worse than Super Tuesday was the Oscars. Variety shows were dumped 30 years ago for a reason. Cheer up! Good morning. Its still dark on the left coast. | |||||

| We would never declaw a cat, plus both of our cats are indoor/outdoor as they have to go and protect their turf. But they do have both hanging rope wrapped boards and cardboard scratching post for them. We tried the spray bottle but it didn't really help They are super domesticated, around 5 years old each, as both were bottle fed from about 5 days old, when we found them them abandoned in the bushes with eyes still closed and covered in ants. This is the only bad thing they do, they don't tear up carpet or spray or do any other reckless behavior besides the ... | |||||

They seem to use the same technique as Benny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJm07V0v6TI The Caleb James series is great and really thorough. The way he straps the chair down is so simple, and the pre-loading technique with the shuttle is the way I'd try it too. I was really surprised to see the rungs moving as he pulled the chord tight. Wow. You mentioned cleaning the chord with soap flakes before redoing it. I hope you don't mind me posting thi ... | |||||
| Mini, it's all experience. | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | tktoo | General discussion | |
| Mini, it's all experience. When I was in art school, I had a part-time gig in a one-man frame shop helping out with drudge work. The long-time proprietor was a master at cutting glass freehand. He didn't even measure. Instead, he'd just lay a sheet over the back of a frame flat on a table and eyeball it. Score, snap, score, snap, done. In about as long as it takes to say it. Amazing. I never got to anywhere close, but he'd say, "Do it a few thousand times and you'll be pretty good at it, too." Later, in my museum career, I had use of an Esterly wall-mounted ... | |||||

| pirx pilot, not sure if you still hang out here, but your "seesaw" was designed by Johan Hagen, and part of Pontoppidan's booth at the 1963 guild exhibition. Also a few more thoughts on cabinetmaker, Ludvig Pontoppidan: 1) Pontoppidan didn't seem to latch his horse to any one designer during the guild exhibition history, like Johannes Hansen / Hans Wegner, Niels Vodder / Finn Juhl, and A.J. Iversen / Ole Wanscher. Rather each year had pieces from multiple designers, including Ludvig Pontoppidan himself (or an uncredited in-house designer under him). 2) The m ... | |||||
