	I was not the individual who... I was not the individual who bought them from Regal but I've heard the rumors of the ridiculous prices that pieces go for at Regal. I definitely didn't pay a pricey sum for them either so regardless, I'm happy with them and will enjoy them until I get bored of them.
	Ok, so not real:(	1 Relevance	12 years ago	hawkan2580	General discussion
	Ok, so not real:( so, any ideas who this copycat is? I didn't really think that one would find a real one in a garage sale for $46 but there was a glimmer of hope LOL I still dig the chair and this was the primary reason for the buy .. I am grateful that I know so I know not to plough too much money into it and just "rejuvenate and enjoy" rather than thinking of a full restoration.. Thanks Hawkan
	Blue Monster II	1 Relevance	12 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	Blue Monster II If you had a chair museum, it would definitely be worth a 67 dollar flyer. Especially if it were a prototype of some kind. It IS a bit of a "beast" though. A cool beast. I find the base interesting, grotesque and a bit humorous as well. Like the designer that lost his way a bit, or arrived late to the party. The shape of the chair feels to me like it could lose a few pounds. I wonder if we will ever see another one. (edit: Thanks Pegboard, I didn't see your post until after I wrote this post above)
	cont'd	1 Relevance	12 years ago	mgee76	General discussion
	... read a lot of people saying that you should never sand veneer, if this table is veneer... that's stupid. Just don't put heavy grit on a belt sander and stab it with it and you should be OK. If you're worried about ruining anything, you'll probably be careful enough. I use a finishing sander on large flat surface, veneer sides and such, and it's easy to get them clean without going through the veneer. I'm guessing that after you strip and wash with spirits and let dry for a day that the wood will most likely look perfect with only minimal sanding in spots. J ...

	... do, but most of the designs will want to be from the masters of the pre-war and post-war years ? As for "That 70s Show" (which I continue to watch, in reruns), neither the Pinciottis nor the Formans were upper-class families; indeed it's a bit surprising they would have real Tulip chairs in the kitchen rather than a knock-off design -- perhaps purchased in a downtown Milwaukee or Racine store with a name like Schlockmansteugler's ? The Forman's living room is a symphony of Avocado and Harvest Gold, with a bit of warm-colored brick and the world's least con ...
	well SDR	1 Relevance	12 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	... themselves as icons in earlier decades? The stuff that populates those houses seems not to have changed much. (That was true for the art of the 1970s too-- the iconic abstract painters didn't change much from the styles that that they had established in the 60s.) I will "begrudgingly" admit that Saarinen tulip chairs and tables DO somehow feel right and iconic in a typical 1970s environment. Maybe because the smooth curving white shapes work so well against all that wood paneling, and are a relief from the textures and patterns and color. And macrame. You ...
	Coincidentally, I just...	1 Relevance	12 years ago	cdsilva	General discussion
	... had an old break in the wood, and had only a single screw loosely holding it together. There was not too much wood missing, so it glued back together fairly tightly. After some teak sanded sawdust with wood glue filler and a little red chestnut stain, it now looks somewhat presentable, although clearly a repair. Although I had come across this design every now and then online, I didn't realize how scarce it was compared to the other Ostergaard/Randers chair with the "Hvidt lip" back (at least here in the US). No current or three-month sold examples on eBay, ...

	Objectworship I didn't make that connection, but my wife did. First thing out of her mouth when I showed her the photos of Shipwright's house was "I like what Tyler Durden's done with the place." Shipwright: Thanks for sharing. Your place is amazing.

	So, he came on this forum to... So, he came on this forum to verify if his runners/base were original or not. Would it have been better for him to just list it as "all original" online without checking first? The guy didn't want to possibly mislead any buyers of the chair. I say thank you for coming, glad someone could help. In case you hadn't noticed this forum is not what it used to be 10 years ago or so when I first arrived. It is now a forum to talk about mid-century furniture and Marks pants.
	Won't oil paint add opacity	1 Relevance	12 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	Won't oil paint add opacity to the color? I've tried that technique on other materials and it didn't have the transparency of color that I wanted. I've had very good results using aniline dye dissolved in denatured alcohol to add color to very badly sun bleached teak. It lets all the wood grain show through and because I used the alcohol-soluble type, it didn't react with the teak oil that I applied later. You do have to strip all the old oil off the wood first, but alcohol and #0000 steel wool will do that. You do have to be very careful applying aniline ...
	More stuff	1 Relevance	12 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	... but at least scrolling down is easy enough. The wire and enamel wall sculpture is by Willard Rosenquist, a former UC Berkeley professor. There is one close up to see the enamel. The Nelson Secretary Desk is missing it's basket (hint hint?) There is a close up of the "ALLIED AIRCRAFT CORP stamp on the Eames splint. (The blood doesn't show in this photo!) Some more Nelson clocks. Beige cat is Henry, Black cat is BUD. (Henry never met a shell he didn't like-- Just like me I guess!) I have a spot in the living room where I rotate different pairs of shells. The ...
	Schoolhouse Electric Broome Chair	1 Relevance	12 years ago	phoebe	General discussion
	Schoolhouse Electric Broome Chair I copy ALL of you, and one of you showed it. The company is in Portland. I probably made a mistake. My mother is disabled and it just didn't work out for her as a dining chair (Gueridon table). I should have followed Whitespike's advice and gotten the Saarinen Executive Chair for her. I'm ordering DCW Walnut Friday (HM sale). I saw DCW's around the large oak Gueridon somewhere and realized it's the only chair for it as far as looks go, but too late. [Edit: my mother sits in an Eames shell--it's the best chair I've fo ...

	... golf tee. Which was close, but not a perfect match, and I used to stare at it comparing the shapes of the pegs, bothered that they didn't quite match ... obsessive/compulsive much? Anyway, I can add that the designer of this Kite clock was John Kapel, according to John Kapel. He used to go out with my Mom before she married my dad, and they exchanged christmas cards. He lived in California but was on the East coast once and visited us, and upon seeing the clock on our wall stated "I did that clock" (according to my dad).

	gropius That could be a problem specific to Europe. Herman Miller didn't use that type of label. Don't know about Vitra. I wouldn't be surprised if there are fake copies being made and sold in Europe.
