Comment on High Fidelity Furniture by Arabia

I own one of the iChairs shown above, and I have to say that it’s wonderful. Okay, it doesn’t sound as good as listening to a proper hi-fi, but it’s a lot more comfortable than sitting there with headphones on.

I love to listen to classical music whilst reading a book, so it’s an ideal addition to my study. I’m not sure it would be much good for a teenager wanting to headbang to the latest Iron Maiden album! Perhaps one of those dining chairs strapped to each ear would be a better solution for them!…

Comment on Joinery and Carpentry - What’s the Difference? by Paul Munford

My two cents…

A Carpenter builds structures. Walls, suspended floors, roofs and so on. A Carpenter is more of a timber engineer. A carpenter is concerned with strength, not accuracy.

A joiner does all the ‘finish’ work, doors, windows, mouldings and increasingly, fitted furniture and kitchens.

Each job is skilled and important in it’s own right.

What fantastic designs. I’d have thought that they would have looked like something out of Scrapheap Challenge!

I’m afraid that these have been developed in Italy, and are still in the prototype stage. I’ll keep an eye on things and try to post when there’s a release date.

Keep your kidney in tact for the time being!

Hi Jane,
You may well be correct, but being from the UK (and not having travelled too much) I don’t have a great deal of experience with either split rail fences or log cabins. From what I’ve read on various web sites after receiving your comment I have to bow to your superior knowledge of these constructions.
Generally, however, I would still class joinery as more of a precision art primarily used in furniture manufacture.
Thanks for your input :o)

“For example, you will never find a fence, shed, or door frame constructed with joinery techniques.”

Hmmm, I wonder how those split rail fences are put together, then? They look a lot like mortise and tenon joinery to me. I have seen plenty of log cabin style sheds constructed using joinery. You do have a point about the door frames, though.
