	For some reason, the link... For some reason, the link didn't work. Here's my Siesta Chair.

	Oh, I see. I misunderstood your post to mean that you were surprised that they didn't require an examination of the label before purchasing the chair.
	Quantity of cord for a Moller 71	1 Relevance	13 years ago	TheMidCenturyBeehive	General discussion
	Quantity of cord for a Moller 71 I realized when I recently needed to purchase cord that I didn't know exactly what it takes to do each chair. I thought it would be helpful to document what is needed for each piece of each chair - this evening I finished a Moller 71, here's the info: Moller 71 Warp strands: 3.2 ounces / 91 grams Front rail: 2 ounces / 57 grams Back rail: 2 ounces / 57 grams Field: 11 ounces / 312 grams Total for a Moller 71: 18.2 ounces / 517 grams A coil is about 2 pounds / .9 kilograms, so you can nearly squeeze two chairs out of a single ...
	Thanks for the replies	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Uncle Dennis	General discussion
	... for him. It was apparently used for a few years by some family members and then given to my dad around two decades ago. Apparently the people who had it in their house decided they didn't want the ottoman so took the legs off to make it easier to get it in the loft. Sadly the legs disappeared never to be seen again. It seems nobody really knew what they dealing with and unfortunately it wasn't looked after. I only found out quite recently that it had been kept in our damp and dirty garage for many years with nothing more than a plastic sheet over it. Apart ...
	The Next To Last Thing I Acquried	1 Relevance	13 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	The Next To Last Thing I Acquried I just moved to a bigger apartment in NYC and there's a dedicated dining space/eat in kitchen. I immediately knew I wanted a vintage table and chairs, had a fairly limited budget, and was well aware of how over inflated the price of EVERYTHING worth having is in NYC. That being said, I was nearly bowled over when I came across this set. I don't know why someone didn't snatch it up, as the price was well below similar, even less complete sets I've run across. Luckily they didn't and now it's mine. It's a Sculptra dining Set f ...
	Oh, pshaw, Aunt Mark!	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	Oh, pshaw, Aunt Mark! Danacook, how long between the one that I screwed up and the one that I did well? Mabye 5-6 years? But in between I just gave up and didn't even attempt that kind of seat. The first one I did after watching the videos was the one in the photo. I watched the videos and literally said, "OH! THAT'S how you do it. Duh." And then I did it. Here's a crude computer drawing of my shuttle after battling my iPhone trying to get the photo off it. This is not drawn perfectly to scale but it's close. Just do your own drawing according to the ...
	Hi Cadodream, Thanks for...	1 Relevance	13 years ago	demp945	General discussion
	... Toronto, Canada from the original owner's daughter. She didn't know anything about it other than that it belonged to her mother and was apparently originally purchased in Toronto. Where did you eventually buy yours? As far as the idea that it may have been made for children: it's possible, and the smallish dimensions provide some support for that idea. But isn't it also true that people of the era were somewhat smaller? Maybe it was just a small desk for adults rather than a full-size desk for children...
	Ah yes...	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Lunchbox	General discussion
	Ah yes... And there's that. I've only ever seen a handful of Vitra armshells over the years. I wonder if that's because of my location or because people just didn't buy them because they didn't fancy the different shape? I certainly don't like it. And I've seen plenty of Vitra sideshells. So I gather it's the latter.
	However...	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Halmstad Modern...	General discussion
	... are captivating enough. The chair works with many different decorative styles. (Check out Ilse Crawford or The Apartment in Denmark). The exorbitant prices belong to the parallel universe that has been driving up prices across the board, especially in fine art. Whoever bought the pair in London recently probably didn't mortgage their house to do so. My reaction to Bruun Rasmussen and Peter Kjelgaard's research was a little mixed. Firstly, it is not fully substantiated. He cites advertising from the forties and word of mouth but there is, as yet, no solid ...
	I don't know about that particular sofa, but	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	I don't know about that particular sofa, but I have worked on a number of Pearsall lounge chairs and they had all kinds of stuff like that. One had shims that didn't look all that necessary and were kind of in the way of my reupholstery so I removed them, but then the thing didn't sit right once I was done. Grrr. Pearsall frames are kinda gerry-rigged under the fabric. They're not made like conventional furniture and they are not terribly high quality. I would guess that your shims are original, in other words.
	Thanks SDR	1 Relevance	13 years ago	heavyasmountains	General discussion
	Thanks SDR Mineral spirits were my first thought, but I didn't want to take a step backwards having just reconditioned the tambour doors--as the mineral spirits would wear away the linseed, which would ultimately need to be applied again. In regards to the doors coming off: They do indeed! I removed the back and one door to repair a veneer chip. The pulls were merely screwed on, which after removing, allowed the doors to slip through all the way out the back. No mysteries with tambour--it's so simple: just slats glued to burlap. Such a beautiful design...How ...

	Ha!	1 Relevance	13 years ago	ericM	General discussion
	Ha! Nice try, Spanky! I know it's an icon and all, just doesn't quite do it for me though. In a different color maybe, but it'd be more than I want to pay to reupholster it and I have no idea who could attempt such a complicated piece locally. And I love my Z chair. When I bought it cheap many years ago (before widespread Internet) I had no idea what it was. In fact, the seller had a matching one that I didn't buy due to space constraints. Boy, do I wish I had the matching one now!
	Wow, thanks to both of you!	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	Wow, thanks to both of you! Yes, braid was what I should have looked for! And that's the ad. And yes, that would be the woven leather though I think the ones I saw had a lot more variation in color for whatever reasons. Or maybe I'm just remembering the grain of the wood. I didn't get to look at them for very long and it was 8-10 years ago. I will never forget how stunning they were, though, and how they took my breath away.
	H. moon, I've just spent	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	H. moon, I've just spent a lot of time looking for that thread where we talked about it here, to no avail. I know the word "tape" was part of the conversation but a keyword search didn't come up with anything. Anyway, I think that the original tape is no longer made but someobne found a tape that is very similar but not in as many colors, maybe it was me, I can't even remember now. I know I've seen the photo of the ad, though. I wish it was easier to find stuff in this forum!
