| Reupholstery help | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | bbuglo | General discussion | |
| Reupholstery help Hey Spanky, I know this thread is quite old but I'm reupholstering a mulhauser plycraft chair right now (one like the second picture). Since you said you've done a couple I thought i'd ask for some advice on technique. I am having great difficulty with the arms and getting the vinyl leather to curve around the arm. Looking at the original the bunching is very tight around the curves, almost like little wrinkles. But when I do it I get large bunches that then create visible ripples around the edge when put back on the frame. I've read some p ... | |||||

| Heron There is a chain of secondhand shops here in Belgium, called Kringloop-winkels (translates as Re-cycle or Life-cycle shops). They are run from a social point of view, imploying people who have difficulty finding or keeping a job. Once a year these shops keep a 'retro-day' (it's awfull really 🙂 Everything orange and chrome gets saved for that day and it attracts a lot of public. I had seen a Kai Frank bowl for Finel (red lacquered metal bowl) some days before, but they would only sell it on the day. I was arriving quite late, having no illusions there w ... | |||||
| Based on the size and shape | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | Pegboard Modern | General discussion | |
| Based on the size and shape ...of the missing round medallion, I thought of both France & Sons and also Selig. But the piece does not have the knock-down construction you would expect. The seat and back come out, but the frame does not come apart and it would have have to be shipped intact. Also the way the seat and back are upholstered is not typical of France & Son. It is a beauty, which makes me more surprised that I'm having the difficulty I am in finding the attribution. | |||||

| To be honest, I'm not keen on your sofa, (which is fairly irrelevant) but wouldn't it look better facing the view and not backed up onto the mirrors, but the dining area instead? Smaller pieces.. womb chair maybe? would look much nicer reflected in the mirrors. It's be an easy and cheaper fix to rearrange the furniture. I'm having a little difficulty getting a feeling for the space though. Maybe I'll piece it together in a plan tomorrow morning! | |||||

| I agree | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | Pegboard Modern | General discussion | |
| I agree ...that there are similarly styled footstools that would be a very nice mate to this chair design, but I would not use an actual papa bear ottoman if only because it's such a distinctive design and so closely associated to the papa bear chair. I am sure you could find a nice four legged ottoman in teak (maybe one with stretchers between the legs that echo the design of the chair) without much difficulty. | |||||

| SDR Yeah, they were fine. Guests may have had a little trouble, I guess -- or at least may have taken one look and expected to have trouble -- but everyone in the family (including very young children) used them with no difficulty at all. Nevertheless, the flatware I chose for myself is less severe: | |||||

| Tricky manuever-- this desk abutting back of a sofa A sleek table running the length of the sofa could work, but I'm guessing that the proportions & style of this high-tech desk would look not-so-great this way. It's also a fairly deep desk & chair-- you'd need a LOT of space between the chair & wall not to feel totally boxed-in. And what about electrical cables? Fraught with difficulty, this idea-- | |||||
| That is a really good looking piece of furniture | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| That is a really good looking piece of furniture If you don't know what it is now, I wouldn't be surprised to discover that it gets discovered in the near future. And even if that never happens it should be worth a decent amount just because it has "class." The second you ebonize it, it's value approaches 0. And to ebonize it tastefully would be very expensive, and challenging. And maybe impossible. First you would have to strip it. And to strip it well enough for ebonizing you'd probably have to disassemble it to get into all the corners Does it disasse ... | |||||

| ... and gloss) would adequately respect the designer and maker of this original table. The reason I'd start with new material is that it would be far less trouble (and expense) than removing the old laminate, repairing the plywood as necessary, preparing for and completing the re-lamination process. Any 3/4" slab which is laminated or veneered must have some form of the same veneer or laminate on the reverse of the panel -- to prevent warping. You will find something like backer sheet (a non-aesthetic laminate) on the underside of your top. Removing the exis ... | |||||
| Well, they're far | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | SDR | General discussion | |
| Well, they're far better shots than we often get, here. The only way I can get such close-ups with my 2 MP camera (ten+ years old) is to hold a pocket magnifier to the from of the lens. And I get a distorted perimeter to the image. The issue at hand is how to arrive at a perfectly flat mating surface for the new adhesive; any deviation is apt to compromise the glue joint (in this notoriously finicky repair) as I see it. Neatly cutting away dried glue residue, from a material which is much softer than the glue itself, is fraught with difficulty. Milling it ... | |||||

| A designer speced some teak benches | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | tktoo | General discussion | |
| A designer speced some teak benches with pronounced concave seating surfaces for a gallery in a museum I did some work for. These were expensive institutional-quality contract pieces from a well-known dealer. The museum recieved many negative comments from older visitors regarding the difficulty of getting up off of them. This had much to do with the relatively low height, IMO. Heath, whether your bench is a commission piece, or intended to be produced in multiple, you'd be wise to cobble together a mock-up and get as many varied butts on it as practical bef ... | |||||
