	Bring it to a metal polisher	1 Relevance	15 years ago	vintage damage	General discussion
	Bring it to a metal polisher I have done the job that you are looking at. I went from a coarse metal-file (for gouges), to several grits of emery paper etc, to plastic polish on flannel (finer than metal polish). Took way longer than expected. I tried electric sanders, polishing wheels... There may be a better way, I just didn't find one. I have not priced it but you should look into having it done by a pro. Something else to consider is that some years were also chromed.
	Darn!	1 Relevance	15 years ago	glassartist	General discussion
	Darn! I didn't think of that. Perhaps my position on the seller is still good if I wiggle a bit. I now claim said seller possessed the aforementioned spirits and commanded them to do shoddy repairs. Blame then would still rest where I placed it.
	My pleasure.	1 Relevance	15 years ago	tktoo	General discussion
	My pleasure. It's sort of what this forum's all about, ya? I would never have heard of Hxtal if I didn't know an objects conservator at the Met.
	Wow...	1 Relevance	15 years ago	mvalen	General discussion
	Wow... maybe it was some kind of car paint. Sorry it didn't work. It work great for me when i removed spray can paint from several shells.
	Soy-gel	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Lars_F	General discussion
	Soy-gel I tried out the Soy-gel paint stripper on my Eames fibreglass chairs. The previous owner had spray painted them professionally with 2 layers of paint. To my big surprise the paint stripper did absolutely nothing to the paint. There was no reaction at all. I actually got it shipped of from US to Norway just because I heard so much great stuff about this product. Any clues on why it didn?t work? BTW I followed the instructions (-: Lars

	... super soft vinyl. I follow your blog chairsmith, so was going to post you directly, but didn't like to 'bother' you - plus in the middle of the night, trawiling images (as I so often find myself these days) I think I'd have struggled to word an appropriate message to accompany my [plea for help] enquiry. I have a ref' book for Robin Day, but it's pretty basic/mainstream so no joy there. Am planning to take in the exhibition as soon as I can get it together to do so - maybe there's an archive that I haven't managed to find yet. Thanks again 🙂

	Hahah, that's great!Cawl ... Hahah, that's great! Cawl Hansen. I had no idea. eta: Oh wait, I didn't listen far enough. You were talking about Erik Hansen and not the guy from Joisey. I think Mr. Hansen just using an American pronunciation. Danish pronunciation of the letter W is definitely a V sound at the beginning of a word.

	Dana, there are different... Dana, there are different pronunciations of Danish words depending on where the Dane is from in Denmark, so maybe that's why the pronunciations of "Wegner" vary a bit. (And one of those guys is from Iceland, so.) We lived in the small town of Fredensborg and there were a couple of pronunciations of that. And worse was Helsingør, a town in north Sjælland. The people who lived there said it very differently from Danes who didn't live there. As in, it barely sounded like the same word at all. Anyway, like I said, words are fun.
	Esherick was a visionary.	1 Relevance	15 years ago	tktoo	General discussion
	Esherick was a visionary. I don't think I've ever seen anything he made that I didn't like. The man understood wood and the nature and essence of craft. You're lucky, Woody. Thanks for sharing.
	Sounds right.	1 Relevance	15 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Sounds right. I was told once, centuries ago, that it used to be that an artist would await the judgement of others -- even to the matter of whether the maker was indeed an artist. In other words, one didn't call oneself an artist. Those days are clearly gone (if indeed they ever existed) -- no offense intended to Leslie or any other individual !

	... I will try to find the studs but what if they dont match up exactly to the spacing between the battens? In that case, I assume I'd have to use some kind of metal anchor, like a molly bolt? Finally I had one other question for Rockland. You wrote, "one problem i often see is the standards not reaching the bottom of the very heavy cabinets," resulting in failure of the hardware on the cabinet itself." I didn't understand what you meant by the "standards" and how to avoid this problem? Where would you add the "padded strip" you recommended? Many thanks!
	I like that broken	1 Relevance	15 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	... craft or design " I think there's something to that. Why are these meant to be art objects, when most would be happy to call the craftsman an artist and let it go at that . . . ? Ah -- semantics. At least we're not architects; they got into a terrible mess with theory and blah blah during the post-post-modern era, almost a generation ago. Thank god I didn't have to live through that when I was a student !
	heath.	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Leslie Denham	General discussion
	heath. For me the resin is less about the resin and more about the fractured and broken concrete. The resin facilitates a glimpse inside of the material and speaks to both its stregths and weeknesses. But yes most people read it as a river, I've been asked what specific river it is supposed to represent. I looked at Gody's cabinets, but didn't see any with resin in them. Can I ask why you don't think its executed well?

	Just need to put that link in the 'associated web images' box below the message box. (I don't know what it is, but it's lovely) [edit] I tried that too, but it didn't work, I've added it as a link too http://twitpic.com/556w1o
	Leslie	1 Relevance	15 years ago	glassartist	General discussion
	Leslie I totally dig that one. It is simple, direct, strong, and a bit quirky. It even has a practical aspect that maybe you didn't intend. The over scaled wood free edge would totally save my shins from the glass.
