	Just my opinion	1 Relevance	14 years ago	Pegboard Modern	General discussion
	... seats and backs significantly effects the value, but if you want to keep them, you can use them with the peace of mind that the backs won't pop off if your shock mounts become unglued. If they were mine, I would not cover the plywood, unless you want to put a thin layer of foam and some leather or hairy hide on the surface. That was an option originally, and would cover the heads of the bolts in the seats and backs, but again, that is not original to your chairs. I think I would try to stabilize the veneer that is loose, perhaps have some patched in where i ...
	I should report	1 Relevance	14 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	... and let the sunlight get to it over a few more days. It came out all right. I believe light is responsible for most if not all of such effects -- though atmospheric issues could come into play, especially on unfinished wood ? There appear to be stripes of dark between some of the areas on your panel. These will present an extra challenge. I'd start by stripping the finish and lightly sanding the panel -- to see what you've really got. I'd do the sanding first, and leave it alone after re-tanning -- because the new darkening may not go as deep as the old ...
	Thanks for	1 Relevance	14 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	... closer to the inside of the bend; one of the two light-colored veneers is tapered to nothing at this point. I have assumed this to be a feature of all vintage Eames DCW and LCW chairs, though I do not have direct knowledge of any differences in this area between Evans and HM production. I have not seen other commenters discuss this feature; I discovered it only by looking at the chairs themselves. I know for a fact that this subtlety has been eliminated in new-production (authorized) chairs.
	Okay, I'll jump.	1 Relevance	14 years ago	tktoo	General discussion
	... '70's version with some minor differences that may or may not be due to changes in production methods and materials since then. Mine has matching numbers stamped into the insides of the panels whereas yours are hand-written and the cushion clips are a slightly different shape. The locations of the clips and snaps seems similar, though. There are a couple of things that bug me about the appearance of your chair. The arm pads look too thick and clumsily fitted to my eye and the veneer doesn't look quite like any that I've seen on newer-production sets. If it ...

	Surely there must be some... Surely there must be some comments, opinions, anecdotal information about the differences in the wall units. Thanks.
	Oh, right, carbon fiber..	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	... playing. So yeah, they're good, probably especially for the money---but they don't cover all the bases all the time. (My daughter is a cellist and I had a wonderful time years ago helping her pick a cello and bow---it's amazing the differences in sound in what looks like essentially the same thing.) http://www.fiddlehangout.com/topic/26027
	No	1 Relevance	15 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	No Not Aalto. Leg bend is the easiest way to tell, but this one has many other differences.
	Thanks again firkel	1 Relevance	15 years ago	tchp	General discussion
	Thanks again firkel I see the triangular section you mention. I assume it is what I have indicated with the red arrows? And, on my black upholstered chairs, I can now see where it has been removed. I had not noticed it before. I was wondering if there were differences between the chairs -- corded or upholstered, so you have answered that question! I think I can live with having my black chairs corded, even without that nice detail in the wood though.
	Not quite right.	1 Relevance	15 years ago	artsnot	General discussion
	Not quite right. Doesn't look quite right. There are some noticeable differences between the Uchida piece and the chair above. First of all, there is no wood on the arms, which would be simple enough as it could just be missing. Secondly, the angle of the headrest is much more pronounced and bends forward at a different angle on the Uchida version. Thirdly, the Uchida chair has a bit of fabric cutout below the bend at the headrest, which exposes the chrome frame.
	Yes!	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Robert Leach	General discussion
	Yes! quite reminiscent of the Josef Hoffman Bauhaus chairs, aren't they? apart from the very obvious differences, that is)
	Wow we are boring on here at...	1 Relevance	14 years ago	bobbdavs (UK)	General discussion
	Wow we are boring on here at... Wow we are boring on here at the moment. The whole idea was to share what we think looks cool, of course one mans junk is another mans treasure and both design and art is subjective. But isnt the whole point of this forum to share design ideas and differences. I seem to remember a while back someone asking for design ideas within their appartment. The same could be said for that thread, but many of us happily contibuted to that and gave advice, including myself. I was only asking for the same, a little alternative inspiration ...
	A before shot	1 Relevance	14 years ago	TinyArmada	General discussion
	A before shot Hello Claus, Here are a few pics before the restoration. Not the bets photos unless you can view the full-size versions to get close-ups. The differences are really in the base having the chips corrected, and the side trim being polished to remove the scratches - as with the ice bucket. There were also corner brackets that were previously upon the corners to prevent damage by the previous owner that were removed, too - they were not original. I saw one table like this at an auction in Florida and I had some close-ups taken of the table - the da ...
	Thank you for the tip	1 Relevance	14 years ago	TinyArmada	General discussion
	... a little frustrating when you don't want to spend hundreds to get an answer. I think experts should be paid for their knowledge. If I had a question here about McCobb for instance, then I could approach you-know-who and pay to get an answer - because he knows that man's work exceptionally well (despite any differences, the man knows McCobb, period). I would be happy if someone here could source information on an odd piece here and there we have run into and own to know where and who made it - and pay for that opinion - they should be paid IMO. I am almost c ...
	Aalto	1 Relevance	14 years ago	merzbau	General discussion
	Aalto Hi, It looks like you have the same table as I have here, only mine has a slightly different Tongue-and-Groove Joint pattern with less connections (one instead of two). I have seen variations on the theme of the table over the years, such as the depth between the two shelves which was incredibly wide on some tables or differences in the measurements. However the ingenious support system on the bend in the leg is a signature trait registered by Aalto and unique to his development in using bent-ply. The version here is also stamped 'Bowman Brothers' who ...
	my repro	1 Relevance	14 years ago	gjbl	General discussion
	my repro i think mine might be a repro, as there appear to be some differences between mine and yours. 1. the ring at the top and bottom, to which you can attach extenders, is narrower in width than the rings for the glass holders. in my case, they are also more rounded, whereas the holder rings are flattened. from what i can see in your pictures, the widths appear to be the same. 2. the glass holders are also quite different. rather than the bubbles/ pebbled-like surface in ones i've seen online, my holder are clear glass above, with parallel etched lin ...
