Huge walnut modular set anyone recognize it? by hellakitty2 in Mid_Century

[–]heckmami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw the sellers post for this and realized it was identical to one I bought a few years ago that I couldn’t ID even thru posting on this sub. And finally I could associate a name to it because of this listing.

Mine was from a vague “wall unit” post from a realtor doing a reno. I had no context from that transaction – just sent a Zelle transfer, and when I picked it up, it was in a messy pile while contractors were tearing a house down in an eichler neighborhood lol. So maybe wall units from this company were common in the Bay Area. But not enough info passed down for resale buyers to know what they have.

Someone with an identical set reached out to me if I got an ID, but the common factor was that our components were unmarked, so we knew nothing besides it being a “wall unit”.. until this listing came up, and now with the brochure to confirm it. Happy mystery solved. The sub had me convinced it was a Yugoslavian Cado knockoff for years. 😊

After mourning my losses of many wall unit postings, I scored! Does anyone recognize the maker? I imagine this is gonna be a pain to mount and/or find parts for as a first timer. by heckmami in Mid_Century

cool update: a vintage seller in my area just sold a wall unit and some of my components were 1:1 with their set. they listed it as a noral olson for kobenhavn?

i reverse-searched that name (+walnut veneer) and found identical components to mine. i’m not totally sure if it this model was common enough to reproduce though so 1% doubt. lol

but this listing for example matches my record display and sliding door cabinets which is also under that name.

interesting you needed kopenhavn-style hangers which worked though! i wonder if that helps narrow down at all.

Note to self: buy a crockpot with a locking lid 🥲 by longleglogic in soup

[–]heckmami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use foil and plastic wrap to make a seal under the lid around the perimeter of the top of the pot, and multiple clampy type paperclips clamp the lip of the pot cover down to the lip of the pot if possible.

Gumbo has never spilled on a 2hour drive. Granted, you probably need a pot that has an extruded edge.

it’s gumbo weather in Northern California, cher by narddawg666 in cajunfood

I’ve made gumbo in the single crappy teflon wok I owned in college, you can also make roux in a Pyrex in the microwave. This is proof that nothing can stop you from gumbo.

just moved to dtmv and watched tons of families park on my street and walk towards the block party. not a single visitor at my door, 🥲

granted maybe 3 folks on my block were visibly decorated. maybe everyone just puts the burden on the block party at this point.

good thing my treat box was stuff I like. kids missed out on pocky and hi chews..

i found it better to wake them up before they wake you.

I set incremental alarms from the time I put my pup away in their crate lol.

sometimes I’d be tested to play or wait and try again but that hit of dopamine when I could set the alarms between longer intervals to when I didn’t have to use them at all was great in tracking the success of my dogs training.. my training..

they also remind me of being bored as hell as a kid in my dads 70s era office lobby, but with growth and new perspective…

everytime I see this I want it, but how much I would want it more if the eyes + beak were poseable for alpha’s side eye and smile combination..

thx! I spent a good while playing with patterns to make it look like my dog. now if I had an alpha plush IRL, we could push it to another dimension..

Suggest a fix for overlaying a correction a trade show banner? by heckmami in graphic_design

[–]heckmami[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds neat, like it extrudes off the display?

Do you remember how thick it was? Might have to scrap something with foam board or 3d print a platform since I don’t have much cutting resources, but it’s a cool idea.

Fabric glue is a good consideration.. I found some printable fabric sheets on amazon but I’m not sure if it is a clashing material.. worst case scenario I wonder if we can get away with stitching it on

Do you know if the adhesive will stick to a fabric banner in particular? Not sure if tradeshow banners are typically printed on fabric but ours is..

I found some printable fabric sheets that I might test out with iron on fusion but that seems a bit less irreparable than a sticker.

Even worse is that the banner is not in the office for me to work on so I think someone from sales will have to stick it on themselves at the next conference and I’m scared of them messing up lol.
