RE: [BlindHandyMan] Re: Furniture style description [was]: Antique Furniture Defined.
Hello Lee, I'm getting the impression you are a car person. So I'll put the man's comments in car terms. When the man said, the table was not a pure antique anymore, It's like saying, the car is not a pure antique anymore because of changing a fender. another words, it no longer has matching numbers. I think you mentioned something about a blind race in another listserve, could you send me some information about it. I'm extremely interested in that. I've had the privilege to meet Jay Blake, and sit in his alcohol drag car. what a rush. Grin.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Furniture Descriptions Through The Ages
Hi, This is very interesting to me because my son works for Herman Miller designing chairs... - Original Message - From: Ray Boyce To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, May 21, 2007 3:57 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Furniture Descriptions Through The Ages Hi All You might be able to relate to some of these pieces in your home. Art Deco Popular decorative design style of the 1920s and 1930s. The name is taken from the exhibitions of Les Arts Decoratifs, where such work was first exhibited. Cubist painting and African and Native American art influenced the development of Art Deco, but the polished, dynamic forms of modern machinery and aircraft were most inspirational. The style is characterized by stepped forms, rounded corners, triple-striped decorative elements, and the use of chromium and black trim. Important practitioners of the style have included (in America) Donald Deskey and Gilbert Rohde. The style was popular for restaurants, theaters, hotels, ocean liners, and Worlds Fair exhibitions, as it did not have the serious theoretical underpinnings that modernism or Bauhaus styles encompassed. The architecture and interiors of the Chrysler Building and the Waldorf Astoria Hotel (both in New York) are good examples of Deco design. Bakelite Trade name of one of the first plastics to come into wide use. A phenolic invented in 1907 by chemist Leo Baekeland, the material is a good insulator against heat and electric current, can easily be molded in varied shapes, and is relatively inexpensive. The colors are usually limited to browns and blacks. Lauhaus German school of design that, in the 1920s and 1930s, became the leading intellectual and creative center in the development of modernism. Emphasis was placed on factory-produced designs that were simple, functional, and industrial. The egalitarian philosophy espoused by the school embraced clean designs in basic materials, and this philosophy permeated all types of design, from furniture to textiles to applied art. Also see international style Lorman Bel Geddes American industrial and stage designer with a prominent role in the use of streamlining in the design style of the 1930s. His work includes Toledo scales, Philco radio cabinets, and a Graham Page automobile, but his influence was greatest through the publication of unrealized, generally futuristic projects. In his 1932 book Horizons, he described and illustrated projects like a fully streamlined ocean liner and a huge passenger airplane with public lounges, promenade decks (in the wings), and a gymnasium. His best known and most influential work was for the Futurama exhibit for General Motors at the 1939 World's Fair, which depicted a futuristic landscape complete with highways and cities. This exhibit is often credited with the development of modern superhighway systems. Lonald Deskey (1894-1989) American industrial and interior designer associated with the Art Deco style of the 1930s. His best known work included interior design of the Radio City Music Hall in the Rockefeller Center. He was also responsible for the development of Weldtex, a patented form of fir plywood with a striated surface that disguised the strong grain pattern of the wood. Deskey's firm, re-established after World War 2, created architectural, packaging, and interior designs. Crest toothpaste continues to use the 1950 Deskey packaging design. Lharles Eames (1907-1978) Eames is best known for his 1956 design of a leather lounge chair and ottoman, utilizing molded plywood units supported on cast aluminum bases. An architect and designer, he began working with molded plywood in 1941 producing plywood-traction stretchers and splints for the Navy, which led to his experimentation with plywood furniture. In a 1946 one-man exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, this furniture was featured and attracted the attention of George Nelson, who hired Eames to work for Herman Miller, who manufactured all of Eames subsequent projects. Eames utilized organically curving, sculptural forms in combination with mechanistic, structural details, exemplified in his fiberglass shell chairs. His work contains a level of playfulness and ornamentation that is thoroughly modern without being austere or forbidding. Llexander Girard (1907-1995) American architect and designer of interiors, exhibitions, and textiles, with a special skill in dealing with colors and textures. Girard had his own design firm in Detroit, which served clients like Ford Motor Company (for car interiors) and Detrola Corporation for both office interiors and product design. In 1948, he designed and built his own house, which attracted a lot of attention for its lively modern interiors. In 1952, Herman
Re: [BlindHandyMan] advice neded
Hello Carl, I bought a sort of soft stone with my scythe several years ago. It is a bar about 8 inches long maybe a little less rounded on two edges and flat on two sides. The grit is remarkably coarse in my view but it does seem to put a decent edge on the steel. I just stroke along the length of the blade at a fairly flat angle to the flat side of the blade keeping most of my work to the upper surface, don't want to take any steel off of the cutting edge, just thin it. The stone needs to be wet for best cutting. I then just do a couple of strokes on the bottom side of the blade to remove any burr raised by grinding the top edge. I keep the stone with me as I am cutting and just show it to the blade at frequent intervals as I work in the belief that a sharp edge cuts better and is easier to keep than to restore. I don't use mine often though, first, it is the wrong sort for what I had in mind to do, a brush cutting one which apparently has a different angle than a grass cutting style. I also worry a little about accidentally shortening passing cats or dogs GRIN There may be better ways to keep them sharp but that is how I do it, hope it helps.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] new washers
Aloha all, Reading all of this about washers reminded me of this appliance that I encountered in a beach house rental back in the 70s. It was a front loading combination washer and dryer. First you washed the clothes and then you used another dial to set the thing to dry the clothes. It was pretty amazing. It was under the kitchen cabinet right next to the dishwasher.

I wonder if the original ones were for capacity? I remember the one front loader our Laundromat had. That thing was big enough to hold a family of 4, including their clothes!! I don't remember it having any kind of lock on the door either. The water level would go half way up the window in the door. The only time my Mom used it was for blankets, and that kind of thing. I think that was the main purpose for them at that time. It was safe to wash handmade quilts in them too, since they didn't have an agitator.
