| The vertical joint Mogens | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| The vertical joint Mogens Kold chairs tend to have the scooped out legs. That is the last difference that I didn't mention. And this is the first time I have seen horizontal joints on MK badged chairs. Very interesting. This strongly suggests I a wrong in assuming there are two fully separate versions of this chair, as these chairs are the missing link, so to speak. And this suggests that MK was the manufacturer for Selig. I don't know what bearing this has on the OP's question... (Of course the OP's question is answered by the close relationship between ... | |||||

| ... and older Danish stuff from the 60's. It's just not the same. Not to us anyway. The thought of mega stores filled with new productions of mcm depresses the hell out of me. At that point, some Heywood stuff might start looking good to me again just because it isn't in the mall. Sometimes I try and do the math...I honestly believe there is nothing furniture wise worth collecting past the late 70's. A few things in the 80's were ok, but none of it was made in large quantities. But I digress...So in the 1970's if people in their 30's set up house and bought fur ... | |||||
| Heh-heh. "Deep MCM" -- what | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| Heh-heh. "Deep MCM" -- what is that, exactly ? I guess we should distinguish between the surface and the underlying prinicple -- perhaps that's what you refer to. I don't suggest that designers of the future will continue to copy the form of the Egg Chair, or the Swan Chair, or the Womb Chair. That would be pointless -- though it could be argued that each new chair design in "pointless" when we already have so many good chairs. But that's never stopped the creators from making new ones . . . The principle of functional minimalism, combined with a healty d ... | |||||

| I had a chair that had a missing bolt and I had the hardest time replacing it. Some forum members said they had some but I wasn't able to locate then. I even contacted the current manufacturer of the Siesta Chair in Norway but they only had the current bolts which didn't match what I needed. On the other hand, Home Depot carries the bolts and caps of the same dimensions although they look different than the original. | |||||

And, spanky, we all know you didn't come by your handle by accident, so go ahead and do your thing. But, please, be gentle. It's early yet. | |||||

| Poor chair! Mine was also the "other" Stickley, as I recall. And now that I think about it, it didn't have the same seat as thcp's above--it had round rungs meant for a rush seat and one of them was broken. Thanks to the pegs going through all the tenons on the rails below the seat, I could not knock the joints apart to replace the broken rung. It also had a weird, long, lengthwise split on one back post. I remember being very puzzled about that and the guy who bought it had a lot of questions about it, too. What a handsome chair, though. I wish I'd ... | |||||

| ... Denmark. He made stuff like book shelves, tables, sideboards. Worth keeping in mind. Kai or Kaj Winding. The best things he made were top opening storage lockers using cane. Just great and really practical. But he also made side chairs and other stuff. Worked with Poul Hundevad of Guldhöj fame. Fredrik A. Kayser. The best Norwegian designer hands down. I am trying to put together a monograph on Kayser to show his dominant position in Norwegian design. I also think he also ranks well among Scandinavian design. I think he is considered too "Danish" to be rea ... | |||||
| Well I had about 14-15 years | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | cdsilva | General discussion | |
| Well I had about 14-15 years between building the tv stand and thinking about how a sister bookcase would eventually be built, so I definitely didn't rush into it. And despite the careful preparation and measuring, I somehow made a measuring error and had all the slots and grooves on the four primary horizontals off by 23/32". Luckily, I was able to do a quick but almost invisible fix at home by cutting off this amount from one end (with a handheld circular saw), and gluing on a similar sized piece (from close matching grain of left over wood) on the other e ... | |||||
| With the stretcher right | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| With the stretcher right there it would be hard to use a larger dowel and not cut off nearly the entire end of the stretcher. I guess it is luck they didn't do just that in the first repair attempt. A number of thin, long pins would have the additional benefit that you would not need to go through the stretcher at all to get a good arrangement. One on either side and the rest distributed around the perimeter. On a final note, with metal pins you would not need to worry about drilling the holes perfectly, perfectly straight. As long as the locations of the ... | |||||

| Lovely snappy, spanky! Gosh, I was so busy examining the arch on the dude's eyebrows (in the luxurious soaking tub), and didn't notice the blown bubbles in the foreground...not to mention all of that plumbing attached to smooth toungue and groove... oh. Thanks twice. Hi, Aunt Mark | |||||

| I like your bar, but then...I never met a bar that I didn't like. Now, I'd like it a hell of a lot better if you'd have the houseman fill it with some assorted moon-shine, ice, a few limes and lemons, and a sharp knife. Then we'll chat about the owl and Dracula. Bloody Marys to alll, Aunt Mark | |||||

| I believe if you posted your dining set on craigslist, you would be very fortunate to get $500 for it. Therefore, putting $500 worth of work into it would not benefit you in your quest to sell it in the future and break even, assuming that you didn't acquire the set for free. Therefore, I recommended putting $0 into it after you asked if it was worth it. If you didn't state your intent to sell in the future, I wouldn't have replied. Sorry that you were offended. | |||||
| Fuming is the term -- I tried | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| Fuming is the term -- I tried it once but didn't get much of a color. The books say that the makers put a pile of oak furniture under a tarred cloth tent, with open dishes of ammonia. How long it was left to work I don't know. I spoke to someone making reproduction Stickley chairs and he said he did it, but augmented the color by means unknown. "Staining" is what many laymen say, when they mean any kind of finishing, I find. It appears that staining is an indispensible part of furniture finishing, to many ? Decorators certainly take it for granted. I t ... | |||||
| This isn't something I plan | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | M_Dennis87 | General discussion | |
| This isn't something I plan on selling anytime soon, but when the time comes I don't want to be kicking myself for not leaving it as-is. The current condition isn't anything to write home about (in my opinion). The base has been painted, the finish is uneven, and it's definitely had a varnish applied which certainly didn't help the value. I can't imagine that removing the black paint and restoring the finish could destroy the value of the table, but I'm all ears to those who say otherwise... | |||||
