| The body of the chair sure | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| The body of the chair sure looks like Overman to me, except that the section of vinyl on the front under the seat looks like it's done slightly differently than on an Overman. But the base is definitely done differently. On Overmans, the cambric (the lightweight fabric that covers the underneath of the chair) covers the prongs or whatever they're called. All you see is the center post coming out of the chair. I think the post itself is different than those on Overmans. At least it's different than the one in front of me. There was--and still are--a lo ... | |||||
| Question: DID YOU USE AN | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | M_Dennis87 | General discussion | |
| Question: diD YOU USE AN ORBITAL PALM SANDER!!!??? It looks to me in the one close up picure that you've created pigtails in the wood from the sander. If that's the case you have no choice but to start over completely. If you have created pigtails in the surface, this will make the finish absorb differently creating an uneven finish in both color and sheen. A rule of thumb I like to stand by is always sand by hand when working with veneers and WITH THE GRAIN! Even if you do use a palm sander, it's very important to complete the sanding process by hand to ... | |||||
| part id, part repair question | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | waffle | General discussion | |
| part id, part repair question The picture is of a chair that was on craigslist for an age for too much money. It showed up at my local charity for too much money. It finally got reasonable so I bought it. I previously sorta ID'd it as a French piece by Hugues Steiner (the only comperables I could find anywhere) with some reservations. If anyone knows differently, let me know. Now my real question is about the cord. Is that Seagrass? Not sisal or danish cord, it would seem. it is rather rough in texture. | |||||

| ... drawings and clever solution to the racking problem should have tipped me off as to your vocation! You seem rightly proud of your work and that you may have even enjoyed the process. Again, thank you for sharing. So, now that you've had the opportunity to live with your KD shelving system for awhile, what would you do differently if you had to build another? What's next in your progress toward becoming a practiced cabinet maker? | |||||
| The only thing that really bothers me | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| The only thing that really bothers me on this forum is when I'm searching for a discussion about something or other, the search turns up individual message titles, not the thread title. It's pretty much impossible to figure out from a message title if that particular message is in the thread that I'm looking for and I end up clicking on each search result until I finally find the thread. I'm not sure how it could be done differently and it really doesn't interfere with my participation or enjoyment here but it's just the one thing that doesn't quite work fo ... | |||||

| ... and add small drops in any direction. Test and dry as you go. Dry state will be very flat looking. Just swipe with a cloth, with a bit of clear shellac, to see final color match. All woods will stain differently depending on its age or cure. Just look for a clean, tight grained, clear stock hardwood. And tell the lumberyard or supplier what you will be using it for and what you wish it to look like finished. Of corse lots of variables. | |||||
| I can agree. | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| I can agree. But look again at that stool. Instead of paint, that looks more like stain; you can see every bit of the grain. It's comparable to a black-and-white photo of a colored object -- one of the ways we have looked at our environment ? But everyone will see things differently -- naturally. Someday, wood could become so scarce that we will no longer use it for furniture. If that day should arrive, would the Eames Lounger go out of production ? Or would the shells be made of something else ? Could this photo be a look at the far future of the iconic ... | |||||

| ... with these early covers. The earliest 1954 and 1955 H bases had black plastic tip inserts that were angled, and looked just like extensions of the iron legs, and were beveled at the floor. (The leg tips were then covered by rubber boot glides-- the same boot glides that the older 1949-1954 X bases had on them) Then in 1956, the "one year only" rubber and metal swivel glides were used. The glides on your bases are neither of these types, and I have never seen them. The fabrication on most of the H bases of this era is different from your bases. The metal fla ... | |||||
| thanks | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | sjaarda | General discussion | |
| thanks Yeah, EamesHead I just found those after trying multiple differently worded searches, and I've already contacted my dad who works for Herman Miller to try and pull some strings, but overall, if I can't find two original bases without having to scrape up more money to buy 2 LTR tables and taking their bases, then I'm going a whole different route. The table top itself isn't in the greatest shape, so I'm working with a friend/welder to create wire frame bases that will look more like a Buckminster Fuller geodesic dome base rather than a copy of the Eame ... | |||||

| ... now realize that I had zero chance of replicating that appearance and quality with the cane back chairs, as the wood framing is grooved differently (on the face of the wood) to receive the tensionning reed wedges. I guess I'll go ahead and place the cane order at Frank's, and post photos of the whole process after it's done (warning: it took me 6 months to get around to the Wegner Round chair restoration after I posted here). For future readers, it would be good if you could also include a closeup photo of the backrest framing and notch without the upholste ... | |||||

I don't think you did this Now if there is water stains that's different as you can't sand it out but can treat it to lighten the stains. There is different products out there Also, if a finish wasn't completely removed in one spot and it was in another, the new finish will absorb differently so that might be what is happening.

| funny | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | Eameshead | General discussion | |
| funny Funny when a work of art or design can still win you over, even though it annoys the hell out of you, or disturbs you. I guess that's another thing that happens a little differently in design than it does in art. Or is it the same? At this point, for me, most "art" falls into three categories: 1) Its bad, and I intuitively look away without even realizing it. 2) It's bland, like wallpaper. So same result. I don't even see it. 3) It persists. Sometimes because of aspects like Heath describes above. Or sometimes because it's just inspiringly beautif ... | |||||

| hey foxxxy as solange pointed out, i was talking about the chairs when i said i was basically giving them away. the table set i'm selling, no intention of misrepresenting that fact. my apologies if you read that differently. i guess this is what design addict has come to - just people trying to call bullshit on other people. as a side note, a moderator can just delete this thread. not interested in getting into a pissing contest. | |||||
| you're right woodywood (of course you are:) | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | Orleans USA | General discussion | |
| you're right woodywood (of course you are:) Vintage Bertoia's baskets are separated from the base. If you walk into DWR you'll see differently. You'll notice that the basket is welded to the base and the wires are of heavier gauge. Plus the overall chair height is shorter than the vintage ones. They look legit.... but look for the Knoll stamp. Knoll started stamping the chairs in the early 90's. | |||||
| Cool. | 1 Relevance | 14 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| Cool. I think it's very good. Maybe the back posts could take some refinement -- tapering, maybe ? I don't mind the other aspects mentioned -- but again, everyone will notice something different. My question would be, what do you see differently than you did in the drawings ? Seeing the object in the round the first time is always a revelation (and usually some kind of surprise), for me. Designing on the flat surface is necessarily a 2D exercise, no matter how acute one's "structural visualization" -- I think. | |||||
