| Chrome Refinishing | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | LuciferSum | General discussion | |
| Chrome Refinishing I have already polished up the legs with steel wool - I used 000 grade and started out lightly. In most areas the difference was AMAZING - even with fairly heavy corrosion the steel wool brought it back to a gleaming polished surface. There was only one area where the steel underneath had started to rust, and the steel wool started flaking off the chrome. I immediately stopped messing with that area. But the rest of the chrome cleaned up gorgeously. And thanks to the rest of the comments about refinishing. My first instinct was to lea ... | |||||

No telling what Arne Jacobsen was thinking when he dreamed that one up . | |||||
| pk4 | 1 Relevance | 19 years ago | room606 | General discussion | |
| pk4 I think it is still the least expensive PK lounge chair one can buy. So in a sense, it is opening up the PK market a little. My concern would be the quality - if it is made extremely well by Danish craftspeople, that would make a difference to me. (Previously there was a discussion about Fritz Hansen's current PK furniture - there, also, we see some shoddy work indicating some new manufacturing shortcuts - without a downward adjustment in list price. I think that line of furniture has bigger problems long term. PK4 is a nice design, but not so much somet ... | |||||

Then I'll paint all of that hardware black to match, and hopefully it'll disappear a bit into the black leather and dark walnut veneer (to come). LuciferSum, how hard was it to cut the rounded corners on yours when you cut it down? http://www.flickr.com/photos/7370173@N02/?saved=1 | |||||

| In fact the basic question... In fact the basic question is: what are the most common aspects to make a difference between a fake and real La Chaise? - It has the black vitra label onder the front lap which seems genuine - What kind of specific details do I have to look for? - The weight? Thanks guys! | |||||

| Since wood | 1 Relevance | 20 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| Since wood is stronger when oriented as you have it (running generally with the direction of a piece -- horizontaly, in this case) it would be undesirable to consider making one (in solid wood) with vertical grain. ( I wonder if this fact is intuitively grasped by the lay viewer ?) Even though in plywood there is virtually no difference in this regard, my feeling is that the same principle applies -- or should ! | |||||

| ... asked to and I just point to my terms of service, which covers this. If the buyer has a problem with the duty required by his government, he can take it up with them. Some countries do not charge duty on items over a certain age but I think it's at least 75 years or maybe 100 years so Miller chairs wouldn't apply. I always state the age of the item if there's any chance it will make a difference. | |||||

| Thanks guys. That's all... Thanks guys. That's all awesome advice. Shame that the hardest part is the smallest details, but I guess that's usually the case. I can't wait to start experimenting with different button-making techniques. Sounds like that's what it's going to take. So, basically, it sounds like from everything I've read and heard, I don't need the fancy "leather glue"... White glue (and a million staples) will work just fine. My newest quandry comes from the shape of the arms. For some reason, the inner shell varies slightly from the shape of the ... | |||||

| ... epsidode of Freeform Furniture (on diY network) where she applied walnut veneer to some bent wood forms that are nearly identical to what I'll be doing. If I was doing a table top or something that would take abuse or be highly visible, I'd be more concerned, but given that surfaces on the chair are purely decorative, I'm confident that contact cement will do the trick. I agree with you about the pricing on that site. I was looking at the site below, which had walnut veneer for $85, then I came across joewoodworker, which had it for mid-$60. Looks like the ... | |||||

| Just to clarify... The... Just to clarify... The checkerboard label was the first label used for the chair, that I'm aware of. This mentions both Zenith Plastics, Herman Miller and Charles Eames. The chair was produced by Zenith Plastics and distributed by HM. The 1/2 checker label (the one you have) was the second one. The chair was still produced by Zenith plastics. The only difference, I think, is that Zenith was now producing it for HM (rather than HM only having the distribution rights for it) and that would be the reason they are not anymore mentioned ... | |||||
