I am in contact with Ford Hallam, though as the design for this piece has yet to fully gel, that aspect remains on the back-burner for the time being.<br /><br />~CAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-19887029526765975622013-10-10T01:14:53.667-04:002013-10-10T01:14:53.667-04:00bummer...she may never know the real opportunity s...bummer...she may never know the real opportunity she has traded for a few sales...i know ford hallam would do it right, or patrick hastings...its a bit out of their areas though the challenge might be taken up... http://www.fordhallam.com/ davejhttp://islandblacksmith.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-55145488806028551672012-12-21T09:53:17.562-05:002012-12-21T09:53:17.562-05:00Hey Dennis,

After she developed that piece you see above, without mention to me, she showed it to some furniture maker for his opinion. That maker liked what she had made and ordered some made in silver. She seemed happy to do that.<br /><br />I won't be working with that jeweler for any further pieces of tansu hardware.<br /><br />~ChrisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-9494835143920042882012-12-21T07:59:47.129-05:002012-12-21T07:59:47.129-05:00Hi Chris,

I am exploring some ideas for making my own hardware, and am keeping a wrap on proceedings until I have something figured out. The jeweler who made the above piece has now sold a couple of those to another woodworker, so I'm a little bummed that I won't have pieces available that are exclusive to this cabinet. I've also been in contact with metalsmith Ford Hallam and will be discussing design matters with him in the next while. <br /><br />~CAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-48550719147107917422012-12-04T10:05:43.720-05:002012-12-04T10:05:43.720-05:00Looking forward to your the kumiko work on the doo...Looking forward to your the kumiko work on the doors.<br />CraigCraighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18047076136030438656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-33517939479234618032012-12-04T05:33:08.640-05:002012-12-04T05:33:08.640-05:00Hello,

Save the trip to the jeweler for something where the fine-ness and detail will be more prominent and appreciated.<br /><br />Greetings,<br /><br />Don WagstaffDonhttp://axework.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-77929683531934264102012-12-03T23:08:16.259-05:002012-12-03T23:08:16.259-05:00Harlan,
you're right - wedged through tenons ...Harlan,<br /><br />you're right - wedged through tenons are less demountable. However, if the wedges are put in unglued, then the wedges can be excavated if necessary later on, and the connection separated. A better term for those is 'repairable'. I'm thinking about the long term.<br /><br />I am making certain portions of the piece readily demountable, like the back panels, fixed with sliding tabs, while other parts cannot be so readily demounted, but can be repaired - the joints separated with some work. If I go further towards full demountablity, then the aesthetics tends to get cluttered even more with the joint mechanisms, which I'm striving to keep on the down-low as much as I can. So, it's a compromise. I hope the choices I've made so far in that direction have made sense.<br /><br />~CAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-13476403318426936442012-12-03T22:03:30.780-05:002012-12-03T22:03:30.780-05:00Hi Chris,
