	Niels Vodder was the first...	1 Relevance	14 years ago	macmx	General discussion
	... that three buttons looked better. Some of the first Chieftains also had arm rests with the leather directly on the sheet metal without padding. The chairs from Vodder feature sheet metal arms and thus have a sharper, more crisp look than later versions which used plywood or fiber glass. He made the chairs in teak and rosewood. Baker produced the chair as well, which very different as you can see on the pictures. The buttons are differently placed, the seat is shorter and the points on the back are much longer. These are the least attractive models IMO. Mast ...
	i think the original poster is offering	1 Relevance	14 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	i think the original poster is offering 4-6 h-bases to exchange for 2 parchment/green/blue side shells with Dowels bases h-bases are all over the bay and CL for $20-25 a pop. so if you think 2 parchment/green/blue side shells on dowel bases are worth $100 to $150, then i suppose it's a fair trade to you then. if the original poster meant differently, then he/she should specify the trade more clearly. fb
	Finished Table!!!	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Effinmike	General discussion
	Finished Table!!! Well here it is! I'm pretty pleased with the end result. There are a few small things I would do differently if I were to make another one (larger table top, different mounting brackets, nicer welds, etc), but overall I think it is a pretty good start to what I hope will be a long and prolific career... Please let me here some feedback! Thanks! -Mike

	The original finish	1 Relevance	15 years ago	glassartist	General discussion
	... to experiment with a number of little cans of stain or colored varnish till you get what you like. Me I would opt for the clear. It is more honest for the piece and the colored stuff will age differently than your original older ones with no stain. You can have different now turning to closer later (my choice), or similar now and increasingly different later. Or you could ditch the one in need and replace it with one with good original finish if color match is really important to you.

	. BRDF, comes in handy for 3d modelling, a bit to wrap your head around though, and almost as difficult to get right as working with this bitching species (Eucalyptus regnans)which even when lengths are cut from the same board will display this variation when oriented differently. http://www-modis.bu.edu/brdf/brdfexpl.html
	Thanks, Pegboard	1 Relevance	15 years ago	NULL NULL	General discussion
	... some small design concessions I've made elsewhere. I find it interesting that she's one of those people who literally cannot open a milk carton or a potato-chip bag without mangling the package. Not a criticism -- just an observation that each of us relates to physical objects differently.
	The patina of time	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	... Eames over the new ones would be the beauty and depth of the fiberglass surface. If you are gonna be LOOKING at that chair for a lifetime, there is a heck of a lot more going on in most vintage shells than just the shape and the color. The patina of time and environmental conditions treats each Eames shell so differently, and in some ways they are never the same twice. The texture and richness of the fiberglass makes them hands down the chair to have for life, in my opinion. Even the specific color batches are different from one another. I have seen many va ...
	New Floor Lamp	1 Relevance	15 years ago	TinyArmada	General discussion
	... the Flos Lamp we had. The base seemed more pleasing, too. I simply liked it and have wanted one for a while. When it arrived I was surprised by the weight of the base, and the rods are heavier steel than other floor lamps including flos. I think of Saturn or Uranus when I look at the ball as the lines on the plastic clear cover throw off light differently to most.
	why am i telling you people this.....	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Orleans USA	General discussion
	why am i telling you people this..... I saw a picture of the Nelson twins and now here's my secret..... I was named after Gunnar Nelson(one of the Nelson twins)...except that my mother was clever enough to spell it differently, "Gunner" Laugh all you want. I'm old enough to not care (I would have cried 30 years ago)
	There are other	1 Relevance	15 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	There are other measures of value besides "what will it bring in the market" -- hard as that may be to believe. Perhaps the world can live without yet another worn-out example of a production piece ? Wood which parts at a glue-line or along the grain can easily and permanently be repaired, it is true. Wood missing random bits of fiber on its outer surface is another matter altogether. We get new tires for our cars, new shoes for our feet. Should furniture be regarded differently ?
	All true.	1 Relevance	15 years ago	fastfwd	General discussion
	All true. I'm just saying that for me personally, the image of shiny camo-pattern paint on my car wasn't charged with any of those meanings, just as the olive-drab leather on Alfie's chair isn't. That's why I brought up the camo thing in the first place: as an example of my own blindness to those connotations. Clearly, you and others see more -- or at least differently -- and I'm glad to have had the obvious-to-you meanings explained to me. With luck, maybe I'll be able to see them for myself in the future.
	OK, but still, that IS the wave we are in/on	1 Relevance	15 years ago	Eameshead	General discussion
	... not always, right? Art history is full of examples of clunky stuff that hit the fan first-- and then was followed by a bunch of people who came along later and made more "refined" versions of it. But its exactly those followers that make the clunky crap become legend. The idea just comes out, for better or worse, then the refinement happens later usually. (But by that time, its all "academic" and boring and stuff.) This is a DESIGN blog though. And design works a bit differently. Maybe. But somebody chose to put work by an artist on this design blog. So per ...
	Great thread, poach.	1 Relevance	15 years ago	tktoo	General discussion
	Great thread, poach. Impressive job on the repair, too. Thanks for posting the link. About the only thing I might have done differently would have been to use woven "s" glass laid biaxially rather than chopped-fiber mat. I've done some boat repairs using West System epoxies and I'm kind of a fan. Their website is a great resource for anyone considering using composites. For regluing HM shock mounts, I've had good results using PC-7. There are some new products that I've been hearing good things about that might be good alternatives, like West System's "G-Fle ...

	. There is a sliding clip sort of thing that was common for that method of upholstery, I've got it on my sofa but used differently, there was a Hans Olsen chair on here a while ago (the fried egg, maybe it was a dining chair) that if you pulled up sharply on the upholstered inner ply it would come off, hope that helps. Another thought, perhaps the upholstery is over an entire other assembly and it might just be screwed in from underneath.
