why don't you post your web site so we can give one of our own some good graphic business,

Thank you, thank you
thank you!
Maybe a good way of avoiding self advertising is the employment of profiles. If we all had a small text profile, then we could list our occupation and website. That would be neat-o for the future?
Patrick and Alix what do you think?

The music
You can find me at myspace.com/livingbetterelectrically. I am selling nothing here, so this should be okay to post. I will let you decide for yourselves, but we're just a bunch of Mississippi boys that were raised on British Invasion music, so whatever that means.

LRF
Not to push myself on you at all, but I would have a damn blast designing any collateral your modern furniture rehabbing business might need. You can always email me directly at info@jakobclark.com. Write it down before it's erased. I am not trying to advertise myself here, but there is no other way to give LRF my contact info. Thanks!
BTW - Where did you end up stopping with the new brick facade a while back? There was some chatter about extending the material to other places? I'd like a photo or two at some point.

funny you should ask .
as i speak i am working on redoing the rest of the crap orchard stone.
I just got 20 tons in from Tennessee so that should finish the front of the house and I am rerocking all of the flower gardens with a cool greyish flat rock the gardens are 12 inch
high in the back of the circle and 6 inches all around very cool.
This mason will be with me all summer and then i will use a nice clean flagstone for the front patio, I cant wait to see it as it will be most dramatic as i have to also replace 6 celestial windows 10 ft tall, and then have the home painted a good looking Taupe color.
The home will be on the National Preservation society for the National Historic Trust fall tour as the convention will be in Tulsa Oklahoma on October 25, and when i finish i will post pictures and it will be really cool, I guess you can say this is my summer project, and I am the General Contractor for all my work, so I am having fun.

HM Eames lounge chair
I am based in Paris and looking for the possibility to make some repairs and for shock mounts parts -
many thanks

Need DIY help for Eames chair
have a 10 year old hermann miller eames 670 lounge chair. the glue on one of the brackets that attaches the lower back to the under side veneer has failed and needs to be replaced. i have removed the arm and examined the veneer and mount. both appear to be in excellent shape and the only issue seems to be the glue.
how can i remove the remaining glue from the mounting area and what glue should i use to repair my lounge chair? do i need to worry about the other arm now?
thanks for any help!

Repairing Eames Lounge Chair shock mounts

Go, Newark !
This thread has it all: blatant commercial promotion (for free), bad spelling, mutual backslapping, and (for all I know) nepotism.
The only breath of fresh air is the (much belated) revelation of a potentially superior replacement for Eames/Miller traditional shockmounts -- too bad I didn't publish when the idea first occurred to me !
I wonder what HM has to say about that . . . and about the potentially libelous slur re warranty and obsolescence issues.
Flame on ! Have a Happy and Prosperous New Year, as they used to say.

Beechwood does not bounce!!
Mr Triestman,I appreciate your innovation,but according to many sources,the original neoprene was intended to provide some bounce to the backrest.Thus,the word shock mounts.How can a solid piece of wood provide comfort to the chair? Doesn't there need to be some give?? The Beechwood mount is akin to a solid suspension in an automobile,isn't it?? Sorry,I just don't understand...

You missed
the part about a flexible interface between the T-nut and the beechwood puck that contains it and that is glued to the chair. Although the feel and the range of motion might be different from those of a chair with solid neoprene pucks, the compromise would promise a bullet-proof repair. I wonder what warranty is offered with this system -- and what are the noticeable differences in performance ?

And lets not forget about price
I wonder what the above repairs cost. I've had 2 repairs done through Hume and so far the results have been workable and solid. One instance involved a simple shockmount repair, the second involved a de-laminated 'ear'. The first was reasonable cheap given the cost of the chair, the second somewhat less so, but understandably so.
And, btw, Herman Miller offers a 15 year warranty only on their office chairs (alu group included). The classics are all warranted for only 1 year (LCW, LCM, Noguchi table, Nelson bench etc) Which only says that the home lives of furniture are far more robust than office life.

Truth and Lies
This is a must read for anyone in the process of replacing their Eames lounge chair shock mounts.
