Do you think I can make modern furniture?

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

When I look at modern furnitures they look so simple like a box or some piece of board, but it is so expensive. Do you think I can make a box and stain finish myself and say a modern furniture? Or is their more to modern furniture than just a box.
No I am not tying to sell. I wanted to put them in my house. But I was too expensive.

Making modern furniture covers a lot of ground. The most important thing to remember about the design and manufacture of modern furniture is it all about the geometry . . . . . Both in appearance and construction. Whether you can make it can only be know by you. Some people think it is easy than making a styles like Victorian or Georgian, because its so much simpler in appearance, but just the opposite is true. All you have to work with, are the lines of design and the joinery as embellishment, if something isn’t appropriate or correct, there are no curly-ques to cover for it. It just wood, joints and you . . ..

Good Luck.

I would like to put a hanging chair in my room but…?

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

My house is very old and the cieling won’t hold the weight of someone sitting in the chair. Is there any way I can make a frame or something that will help support the weight.
The chair I’m getting is similar to this.

Even is your house is old, you can still install this chair so it works and doesn’t rip the ceiling down on your head. I’ve done this sooooooo many times (mostly for very heavy chandeliers) and it works!

You will however, need to prepare first. You’ll need to go up into the space above the ceiling of your room and the roof. You can drill thru the ceiling and use a very long screw post (you’ll find it at any good home hardware store… just tell them what you want to do) It’s a long pole with threads just like a screw but flat on both ends. You can bolt this into a support post in the attic crawl space, then it will come out thru the ceiling in your room. Add a hook for 250 pounds to the thread post and hang your chair… it’ll hold 250 pounds, easily!

Nice chair, by the way!
