	\	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Mark	General discussion
	\ Well luckily, this little cabinet survived without the sliding door's having a lock/key added. I had a hell of a time locating mine sans-the- lock..until a wonderful little fundraiser at Cranbrook happened one bitter December night, many full moons ago. There sat my future case good. Florence would be so proud. but I digress.......
	Ark of the Covenant...	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Lunchbox	General discussion
	Ark of the Covenant... Thanks for your informed and concerned response. It was as if a light suddenly beamed down from the heavens. Call Knoll? Brilliant! But I digress... Had I felt like contacting Knoll(a company not known for their customer service, mind), I would've done just that. However Mr. Ark sir, I happen to know a few members here happen to have a bit of experience in just these sorts of things of which I inquire. So with that knowledge, I took the lazy route of posting on a forum in hopes a few friendly members might respond with some helpful inf ...
	Good morning to all!	1 Relevance	11 years ago	Mark	Off topic
	Good morning to all! I can't bowl, as it reminds me of "that" three fingered hour and 15 minutes in the rear seat of a Ford Pinto station wagon way back in 1977... but I digress. I do know that I was wearing one platform shoe at the time, and that the Ford Pinto was a "Cruising wagon" (small round window in the back). Her name was foreign, like Babette..or Rabbit, or Bruce. And even though SDR did wear bowling shoes for nearly all of the following decade (replaced by crocs with socks and empire waist frocks), I still would consider renting the bowling shoe ...
	I'd be curious if Soup-Bone	1 Relevance	11 years ago	Mark	Off topic
	... Blenko Glass is close by. Also plenty of churches and Bob Evans Restaurants (I actually had my xmas dinner at the Bonanza restaurant in Huntington a few years back). Everything was fried. I hugged the hostess. She was large, and her name tag read "Big Sexy". I gave her some money. She needed a tune up. But I digress..... brutal. brutalist. brut. say hi to glassartist for me.
	Solid wood is always	1 Relevance	11 years ago	leif ericson - Zephyr Renner	General discussion
	Solid wood is always surprising light. Unless it is rosewood. It is the glue in the particle board that gives the weight. It is a frequent irony of naïveté about furniture construction: "very well built, super heavy piece" translates to slabs and slabs of particle board. But I digress. It looks like walnut to me. A bit faded as you say. And clearly solid from the appearance of the wood. I would not be surprised if it had a dark walnut tinted oil over it originally, which would have even out the appearance quite a lot. And this would have been the first thin ...

	Pine is also cheaper. But I d... Pine is also cheaper. But I digress... I don't think using a different wood that moves less is a step in the right direction. What you need to do is match the rates of expansion and contraction so that both pieces move together and preserve the gap between them. One of your challenges is that maple's tangential expansion is around 10% which can absorb your 1/16- inch gap and seize the slide. Depending on the orientation of the grain in the slot and the bracket you might be seeing that rate or the lower 4% radial expansion ra ...
	No-design addict	1 Relevance	14 years ago	Lit Up	General discussion
	... for free OR profit, I would feel inclined (indeed, a desire) to roll out a small update, not every month, year, but maybe even once every five years. To not do in 14 years is unfathomable. Whilst I believe that good decorative art and design can be timeless - furniture/architecture etc - this is NOT the case with software or websites, which run on electronic technology which constantly evolve, much to the benefit of mankind. I'm sure this was a fantastic forum design in 1998 for Windows 3.1/95 but it is not when running off a 2011 iMac where it takes up jus ...
	Interesting...	1 Relevance	18 years ago	DudeDah	General discussion
	Interesting... that this came up because there is one of these on Chicago Craigslist right now for $175. I was just emailing a fellow "board member" about this very clock the other day. Would go great in our Girard-themed nursery, regardless if whether it is actually his or not, but I digress...I would be interested to find out as well ...oh, and I think I just sold a clock on Craigslist in Chicago... EDIT LOL Pegboard, due to our recent correspondence, it looks as though maybe YOU bought the clock on Craigslist...unless you are SELLING...
	Speaking of beef....	1 Relevance	19 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	Speaking of beef.... Which one of our US Presidential candidates is the best designed? Clinton? (Egg chair?) Obama? (Arco lamp?) Edwards? (Eames Time Life stool) McCain? (nice upholstered chair that was kept in the attic for years and had repairs to two of its legs) Huckabee? (generic foot stool with a tacky 19th century upholstered fabric) Thompson? (no, not him...he looks like a broken down Windsor chair) Guiliani? (Italian floor lamp that needs rewiring) But I digress.

	... are deferred to Google then there would be little purpose for this forum other than to self indulge... but I digress. Regardless, my question -which I couldn't find the answer to on Google- is not a general "what kind of chair is this?". It is a little more specific. Specific to the significance of the "ID" numbers on the base of the pieces, or design details (e.g the hexagon bolt head). Do they indicate approximate time/date of manufacture, and how do they compare to earlier/later pieces? # of pieces produced, rarity or lack of, etc. Is there an ID# roster ...

	... is Denise, I actually do wonder if you are a former wearer of girl's uniforms with knee high socks and I really would, just between you and me of course, like to see you lounging naked from the waist down in your favorite mid century modern chair. To the part of you that is wise, insightful, post Ivan, and fully contained Shirl, well, I'll dress up in a bunny outfit, if you will. 🙂 But I digress, Shirl, er, Denise, er, Olive. 🙂 Now, the part of me that is Denny, old and riddled with Mad Cow, must have his Ashton and Glennfiddich on the balcony with the part ...
	an introduction	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Poach	General discussion
	an introduction LRF et. al., I fully understand why you'd defer to Luc. I can see that he's quite knowledgeable, and I have no history in this forum. So let me digress a bit to introduce myself. I've lived the majority of my life within 5 miles of both Herman Miller and Howard Miller, and consequently, grew up surrounded by the furniture, clocks, and Herman/Howard Miller employees. I've been collecting for about 20 years. I've also done a fair amount of dealing, although I've mostly weaned myself from that addiction. (Nothing like 200 fiberglass chairs ...
	Should we get more controversal?	1 Relevance	19 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	Should we get more controversal? Should we start threads making fun of a particular designer? Get political? Maybe we could start a Left Wing furniture thread and a Right Wing furniture thread. But I digress.

	If he could see it... Hans Wegner would turn over in his Danish coffin. This is not worth time on....maybe that's the reason for the ..."digress" by the way, Baby seal has not been mentioned yet!
	Bauhaus Music	1 Relevance	20 years ago	ChrisG-52	General discussion
	... $210. There has always been something more pressing to purchase... but I digress. I have that music chapter photocopied and in a folder... with all my other worldly belongings packed away in storage until the home renovation is complete. Once again, I digress. If you have access to the book, have a glance at what the Bauhaus considered "modern music".
