| ... spirit of CL. Therefore I would not use CL as a pricing barometer. EBay is a more reliable indicator of what someone is willing to pay for something, however, you're penalized if you sell furniture due to the size. Most people balk at the cost of shipping a desk, table, or even a chair. Many people worry about shipping something large, thinking it will get damaged (and it often is). So when you look at a DCW that sold for $250 on eBay, you have to factor in the cost of shipping, which would probably run about $80 or so. Some people won't ship furniture at a ... | |||||

| ... are anything special, but please take a look maybe you would recognize them. I updated the web-album with more photos of most of the items. It's pretty much all the way across the country, from East to West. I have been looking at using LTL-freight carriers. Even FedEx and UPS can ship stuff like this if it is palatalized. The trick is how difficult/expensive will it be to get someone to put it on a pallet. I want to ship it all, but I am scared of the pad-wrap shippers because they tend to mix up your stuff with other people's, and if there are too many st ... | |||||

Clothing being an exception for me. Rather spend a small fortune for clothes I like, fits well and looks great. Thrifting for clothes for average sized and fit adult males is difficult. I'm gearing up for custom talored three piece suits. Totally worth it to me! I don't think all reproductions are bad. There's nothing like being with someone you truly deeply love, but being with so ... | |||||

| Logic Mike, I hesitate to even engage in this discussion as I don't want to lend you or your knock-offs any credibility, if even by mistake. But I do want to make one point and to ask you one question. You wrote, "Think of a painting. If Van Gogh licensed all of his paintings to Joe Smith Art Company, would you say that Joe Smith Art Company makes any more of an original than another company that reproduces the Van Gogh without a license if the quality of the two are the same? If the other company points out clearly that it is not an original and is just a r ... | |||||

| I am trying to learn more I apologize for not placing my 'for sale' information in the radar section. I did not realize that was the purpose. I think what I am really trying to do is to find out if the Knoll tables are priced right and find out what the general consensus is regarding interest in these tables. The more I think about it, the more I am inclined to just keep the tables and have a wooden top made that would have a continuous grain across both tables even though they could be separated. It is difficult for me to love the origional laminate tops be ... | |||||

| I eat... Bases for breakfast. But fiberglass makes my throat itch. Seriously, what's the issue? Most people (not all) don't want the H or stacking base. Other types of bases are difficult to find in good vintage condition... which is why they usually go for a premium. So, buying just shell and putting on a new base is a much more viable and convenient option. | |||||

| ... it is not that difficult to install either a tension-mount or wall-mount system. Have you tried to install some of the contemporary office systems or cubicles? Now THAT is a pain in the ass! If folks can install these types of office furniture they can surely set up some CSS. You do know that there are CSS-like systems out there currently, right? I don't think that they are struggling with sales because people are frightened to assemble them in their homes, do you? Now, whether it is economically viable for Herman Miller to bring back CSS is another issue. ... | |||||

| Question Barry, You did not answer my questions. You said that you are confident that Herman Miller would be able to reproduce the BCG. I don't doubt that that could if they chose to. Really, anyone who wants to could make those pieces (see Daniel Donnelly again). The question was do you really think they can make them with the same quality at a price which is accessible? The case goods do not knock down for economical shipping, so they would have to be made here in the US with US material costs, US labor costs and standards. These things are expensive and t ... | |||||

| You are a good son to take care of your mom like that. I agree that bras that hook in the back are difficult to put on oneself, let alone trying to put one on another person. Try the ones that hook in the front, you just slip it over her arms like a vest. Maybe even a tight little t-shirt or cami would serve the same purpose as a bra and would be easier to put on and keep her warmer as well. For the vast majority of people, bras are there to provide support, keep one's bits from bobbing about and provide a layer of modesty between one's skin and blouse so ... | |||||

| another one Dom Hans van der Laan bench I was lucky to actually see some works of Dom Hans van der Laan a few years ago. The singularity and the accuracy of the proportions are rather unique, difficult to translate into words or photography. I also like the objects that are made to last, that the patina of time improves.

In this chair, the affected area is curved and wavy. (You've drawn four layers; all plywood has an odd number of plies (3, 5, 7 etc.) You should be able to introduce glue into the breaks. Mask carefully on either side of the top surface crack so glue doesn't stick to the surface, and devise clamping blocks that match any curvature in the area that needs to be clamped.
