made a replica eames ltr side table today for under 10$  

mgee...
I don't need to be wound up to tow the line for truth.
You're welcome.

Look...
... you either like the thing for the thing, or you like it for some other intangible reasons. Not to get all Heidegger, but it is the thingness of the thing, not the name or the patent or whatever else you might fancy. That's design... that's art. You know how many Mona Lisas there are? If you really cared about such stuff, you'd have more to say about the craftsmanship or the accuracy of the attempt. Criticize those aspects, if it's so important to you, not the attempt itself. Perhaps it doesn't take much craft, but that would not appear to be the case if you're able to spot a fake on sight. If the guy really likes the tables and puts the work in to make some for himself, with all his talent and knowledge, that is worth appreciating for whatever it is. Whether you're having a go or speaking for 'the truth', you sound like a stick in the mud. And you accuse me a fascism? It's desperately pathetic.

At least I didn't call you a nazi, magee...
Cranking murders out for money? So what, right?
As long as it helps that bottom line...

so your answers are
1) you can spot a fake. (Hmmm yes, I thought that was my point)
2) still not addressing "the intent of the maker" issue-- other than to rail some more against the HM logo part of the otherwise PLAIN AS DAY STATEMENT OF NON-AUTHENTICITY on the part of the maker.
You look right past the aspect that I am talking about and cling to the logo rant some more. WHAT ABOUT THE BIG DARK WORDS??? WHAT DO THEY SAY?
See, I think that is unethical when you don't take a question at face value, and try to move the conversation around to something else (again and again) rather than just answer it.
PS Knockoffs are MURDERS now? rEdruM

EH...
You're obviously not picking up what I'm putting down. I'm not a fan of taking the horse to the trough. I'm just too lazy for that.
Reread the thread. That's all I can tell you.

.
After making one, which is fine, the only failure here is one of imagination, which for a design graduate is not ideal but hardly cause for outrage.
What a thread! I wonder about OGD too, for some reason his posts always made me think of crystal meth abuse.

disclosure
its all about disclosure. At least the OP disclosed his MO. We know what he is putting down.
Hey Heath! Watch out what you wish for. And have a good day.

I still have one thing left...
I still have one thing left to do to the table tops.
I'll give you a hint. They only made 80 of them and they are pretty dam cool and it not something you would do to a real ltr unless you dont care painting a ltr.

"Unless you didn't care"...
Or rather if you wanted to make your little knockoffs more collectible.

The forging of the Ring in...
The forging of the Ring in Lord of the Rings was uncontroversial compared to this.

Let's go elementary with...
Let's go elementary with the arguments lunchbox
I am rubber, you are glue, what you say bounces off of me and sticks to you...
Come one, everyone knows the one ring was forge in secret while he gave all the other leaders their rings. I think it be better to go with saying the meeting of the council to decide the fait of the ring was less controversial

Let's just hope
That being in possession in one of these tables empowers the owner to become invisible.

Somehow that "under $10" part
seems to be receding even farther from reality.
Has anyone here seen "Tim's Vermeer"? I don't know why, exactly, but something about this thread reminds me of it.
I dunno. Maybe it's just me, but fabricating an accurate replica of anything as an educational challenge is one thing. Going into even limited production seems too much like another.

@difeliciantonio
I would recommend editing your first post a bold disclaimer that this whole practice is not intended for commercial production but for your own personal satisfaction. It appears that those who have not followed the conversation are unaware of your intentions.
Unless of course your intentions have changed, in which case how much would you be willing to sell them for...(stirs the pot)... I kid I kid

Hmm
How many more of these are you going make? Are you hinting at gold-leaf?
Sign me up for one, if it includes the stamp and a personalized plaque.
