| @MLF | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | pardicity | General discussion | |
| @MLF Honestly, disassembly, as painful as it was to the soul, was fairly easy. Everything was held together with phillips head screws and was clearly pre-drilled. The screws came out easy and clean. That said, it was a lot of unscrewing and a lot of tiny washers and screws to keep track of. I would never recommend disassembling an ESU, but the circumstances forced my hand. I was driving back from an event late at night with a friend when we spotted the unit. It couldn't fit in our car and we were petrified to leave it behind while we got the necessary vehicl ... | |||||
| Finally finished the 598-15 | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | cdsilva | General discussion | |
| ... I had heard and appreciated prior stripping/sanding effort stories for this type of chair, I now have a greater appreciation for the work involved. All of the different members, curves, nooks, and crannies presents a tedious effort to remove the existing finish, compared with a side table. As stated by others on this site, it is difficult to replicate the original Selig stained beech finish due to the wood not absorbing the stain evenly. Add to the mix that it would be very difficult to get 100% of the old finish off, I choose to go with the india ink eboni ... | |||||

| ... researching the CH-24 the consensus seemed to be that there were no vintage knockoffs because the chair was so difficult to produce. I kind of see the same thing going on with this chair, but that thought process doesn't hold as true for some reason. Maybe due to the immense popularity during that time? I'd be interested to see how close the UC Berkeley chairs measure to a stamped JH version. I also remember reading some of leif's discussion of furniture production being 'outsourced' within Denmark to other makers when they couldn't keep up with the volume. ... | |||||

| ... username that she was from New York. In her first post, she states she has recently opened a "little design shop" in New York with her brother, and to feel free to visit anytime. Yet no shop name is given. Makes it a bit difficult to visit then, no? In a post a few days later, she makes an offhand comment that it is now "diner [sic] time here in NY". Who talks that way? I think someone who wants everyone to think "she" lives in New York, and not in LA, where both gallery and crappy pay website is based. Finally there is reference to a famous auction house ... | |||||
| Wow, "spanky"! Thank you so | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | betita12 | General discussion | |
| Wow, "spanky"! Thank you so much for all this detailed information! I really appreciate you taking the time to go into so much detail. I have decided to attempt this restoration by myself and has been going well so far. I have disassembled the chair as much as possible and have begun sanding sections of it down so that I can refinish. I am thinking about doing just a Danish oil as the finish, but need to do some more research.... The hardest part, as you have guessed, is finding some of the replacement hardware, even the hinges have been difficult to ind ... | |||||

| Ah, so the apron is part of the face frame. So obvious I should have realized. tktoo: on the balance I think that oak looks more like white than red. The rays seem long enough to be white. But the photos is a little blurry, and it can be difficult to distinguish the two quite frequently. | |||||

| ... cannot find the carving board anywhere in teak. Unfortunately, Mutenye looks a fair amount like teak, so it is a bit difficult to tell just from the wood (it would be much easier if it were Wenge). I know a number of the Rare Wood series were marked on the back with the wood, but I have also seen a number that were not. The one I picked up just has the 4 Ducks "Dansk Designs Denmark" and "JHQ". Any insight that you can offer would be appreciated. Regardless, I love this piece, it is beautiful with all the end grain! | |||||

In fact I'm finding it nearly impossible to sell anything over here for a decent price via non-dealer-centric websites. Regarding the chair debacle - I've spoken to the person and the chairs are out. I sent her links to several different Moller and Wegner chairs for sale in various states and price-points so that is a closed case. She still wants me to do the trolley that I posted pics of above in the thread (speaking ... | |||||

The dynamics involved can get complicated, especially if you're not personally handling your move. Most of the big, national household movers offer specialized packing services, too. Sometimes, it's just worth it to defer to the pros. Or, if you're the handy type, have basic tools and skills, and decide to tackle it yourself, I can walk you through it. It's not that difficult. You'd be looking at about 4 hours and ... | |||||
| Chris M, | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | niceguy | General discussion | |
| Chris M, For years I have used a retired Army armorer with and interest in pre-war trains (Marklin) and toys (Marklin). He was able to dis-assemble and clean pieces as well as fabricate an intricate part upon demand (no original to be found). I also found a master jeweler that was able to undo a poor repair and make a small internal platinum leaf spring for a Van Cleef & Arpels baton cuff link (at least only one link was damaged). This was restoration work at it's finest. My newest resource made a screw for a Gubelin minute repeater wristwatch. To me th ... | |||||
| Darkening brass, bronze, | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | tktoo | General discussion | |
| Darkening brass, bronze, copper is not difficult at all if you use the right chemicals. Patinating non-ferrous metals is an art arguably perfected by Edo-period Japanese armorers that could produce a wide range of colors. The most common agent used to darken brass is a liver of sulfur solution, but small quantities of various pre-mixed solutions are available in the US by Birchwood-Casey from gunsmith suppliers, gun shops, and online retailers. I use them regularly with excellent results. Just follow the simple instructions! | |||||
| The trouble with upholstered | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | NULL NULL | General discussion | |

Not to be mean or make people's life difficult but because if it was allowed you would see the following breakdown of every 100 posts: 90: how much is this piece of crap I just got at goodwill worth? 9: who designed this piece of crap I just got at goodwill? 1: pic of Aunt Mark in some fabulous pants. It had been pointed out to search SOLD eBay listings. That is your best bet. | |||||
