| Hey, Mark. Most of it is just desperate attempt to compensate for a hopeless lack of fashion sense! P.S. Today, I'm sporting the same tattered jeans that I've worn for the previous two. And, on Tuesday, they didn't have a hole in one knee. Leif, hot water, let it gel, and scrape it off with an old credit card. Steam will work, too, but it seems unnecessarily complicated. Try both? | |||||
| I've had several shade made | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Bongrande | General discussion | |
| I've had several shade made during the year. I'm located in Chicago & I use Benko Lamps, LTD. Their customer service is divine- the shop is owned by a husband & wife probably for 40 years or more! Their pricing MAY be on par with your Blanche P. Field. I didn't use Fenchel because I wanted true customization (I provided my own fabric), consultation and input. If you're searching for a "simple" shade, I would use Fenchel. Mr. Benko would be happy to work with you, even if you're located out of state! The black shade is an octagon shape. The rectangula ... | |||||
| Jesgord, I'd think twice | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | fastfwd | General discussion | |
| ... the rest of your life just so you can acess the only copy of your home inventory. Some years ago, I thought it would be interesting to try to identify the designers of basically everything I owned. After one too many difficult experiences with insurance companies, that list expanded to become a detailed inventory that I now keep in an Excel spreadsheet. I used Excel partly because it was convenient, but also because it can export to plain text files, HTML, PDF, other spreadsheet formats, etc. And printing from it is easy, as is modifying its structure, ad ... | |||||
| Before making a decision on | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| Before making a decision on the Cherner chair, I would look into whether there are issues with the plies snapping at the narrow part where the back turns into the seat. I have no idea if this is an issue with these chairs but I know it is a weak point on some bent plywood chairs made this way. I bought a pair of vintage Eames LCW many years ago and had an awful time with failed shock mounts. Never again. It just wasn't worth it for me. Maybe if I really, really loved the chairs, but I didn't. I liked them a lot but it wasn't true love. | |||||
| The pieces you bought do | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| The pieces you bought do indeed look like hotel furniture and nothing like Pearsall. Hotel furniture made for the big chains is mostly sturdy, low-maintenance, and inexpensive. It is on par with instutitional stuff. I hope you didn't pay much! The photo you found also looks like something one might also find in a hotel, or maybe the waiting room of a dentist or doctor. As for "Similar to the Martin Borenstein or George Nelson modular seating units but with a much nicer frame" (the seller's description, not yours) that's debatable (I'm being polite). Here ... | |||||

| Finally got around to strapping the PJeppesen chair and it went fairly smoothly. didn't need to use pliers as pulling, and tensioning by hand worked fine. The tension between wider strap and narrower slot did help with maintaining pretension for each run. | |||||
| I did a google search for all | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| I did a google search for all three of those words together (without commas or quotes) -- Oslo, maat, dessin -- and a number of things popped up. Maat means size, dessin means design, I think, and I'm not sure what Oslo is. I found paper placemats and speed skates and some other stuff associated with "Oslo". Nothing to do with rugs but I didn't look terribly far, either. But based on the above, I'd guess that it's a Dutch rug. Just guessing. | |||||
| It behaved a lot like aniline | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | mgee76 | General discussion | |
| It behaved a lot like aniline dye, spanky. I didn't have lap marks, though. In the past when I have dyed wood, I have sprayed it and then hit it with a wet rag. But I have used water-soluble dyes, not alcohol. It was kinda annoying, because the alcohol in the dye would start gumming up the faint residue of leftover India Ink, and I would have to work fast. I sealed it with Waterlox. We'll see how that holds up. I might try these dyes again in the future... I feel like you could dilute them in half and still have a strong solution. | |||||
| Very nice! | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| ... dye..?? did lap marks show? I've used alcohol-soluable aniline dye on wood with nice results (not black, though) but it was nerve wracking to do because lap marks showed and could not be wiped off, not even a second later. ETA: I also recently had a professional put a black lacquer finish on a chair of mine. It was available in black lacquer so I didn't want to just ink it black. I must say, it was worth every cent I paid for that finish! It's gorgeous. | |||||

| I read where the original (in the attic, oil burner) heating source in the Lustron didn't work very well. It was common to scrap the old system and put in a forced air unit. I still see a few Lustrons in Iowa and Illinois. Never in Florida. Not sure why. Hi. Aunt Lust | |||||

| Thanks Leif! | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | terryt | General discussion | |
| Thanks Leif! Yes, the drawer dovetailing is cut into the drawer faces which are veneer wrapped over MDF or particleboard. The drawer sides and backs are solid wood, but the drawer bottoms are not. (particle board, me thinks) I didn't pay a lot for this cutie….. I thought the lines were nice and overall the desk is well made. A production piece most likely. Was afrormosia wood used in American pieces? Thanks again for all of your fantastic knowledge and willingness to share! | |||||

| Did you just add the photo of the back? I didn't see that before. Yes, definitely a factory piece. That canvas would have visible yarn knots on it if it was a Rya, unless maybe a stiffer canvas was bonded to the Rya canvas for weight. I dunno. Even if it was not a Rya, there would be yarn knots on the underside, just not as big. I think it's an added backing. It's a lovely rug, Rya or not! | |||||

| ... his snappy addiction. I actually diD go to the yearly block party on my hill last evening… which of course turned into an eclipse-viewing party, as the moon rose. There was a neighbor guy whose name tag said "The Fun Doctor" on it. Don't ask why. He said he was going to lead an "eclipse walk" later on... I didn't go. I was having a nice time, and besides, I couldn't get out of my chair. | |||||
