Title: Time Out Test chair
Post by: Design-HSB on January 23, 2015, 12:13:00 PM
Hello everybody,

I myself have so what tinkering regards a Time Out inserted, because we have got a puppy and it is valid only once to provide intensive support and educate.

Without it did not work but I just needed time as a finger exercise for testing whether you still can.
Since much of me then I've still lying by Thomas Hey'l Germany the components for the garden chair.
There was just left lying times because missing holes in the etched parts.

The missing 0.3 mm holes I then drilled with a small drill by hand, was actually quite simple.

But see for yourself, as far as I am now:

Now for some details:
The chair frame left weighs 0.5 gr. And the finished chair right 0.9 gr. Or the total 0,0019841604lb
The nickel silver etched parts are made of 0.2 mm sheet and the visible wires of 0.4 mm spring-bronze wire.
The 0.7 x 2.5 mm wooden slats I even cut out a piece of beech wood.
On the chair they are aligned with 0.3mm brass wire sections and glued.
Of course, the chair can be folded together.

The whole thing is just an exercise chair to test techniques for a possible series for a model beer garden at my "Klosterstollen (http://www.finescalerr.com/smf/index.php?topic=1446.0)".

What is the scale of the chair?

Nice! I remember long ago a friend made a chair from a couple of old truck leaf springs. Most comfy chair !

Helmut, Very nice as always. I like the extra detail of the rounded ends on the top wooden slat. How many would you have to make for a beer garden?

If it folds and stacks, I'll take 4 for my patio.

Hi there,

Thank you for your great interest.

Meanwhile, I have also completed the second chair.

Yes, and it can actually work together.

Chairs for size comparison on my finger.

Now I'm on the search for a matching table to do so.

Hi Bill,
the actual beer garden is unfortunately down half of my diorama, and perhaps reach a few tables and chairs that have otherwise found out where the visitors.

Unfortunately, there is no longer the etched parts.
More tables and chairs should therefore be developed in-house.

Put a piece of cheese on the seat and see if you can catch a mouse with it!  ;D

Hey, Dallas, you didn't get anything - repeat: absolutely anything - about German mouse trapping technology. Those things are chairs, man! Chairs!



Oh boy.




...





Helmut prefers the more sophisticated way:

Okay ... now I'm convinced that those chairs are made to German engineering standards!

I suppose the mice don't stand a chance ...

Hi Dallas,

I tried it just for you with cheese and mouse.

(https://www.finescalerr.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.buntbahn.de%2Ffotos%2Fdata%2F8997%2F13IMG_20150215_180803.jpg&hash=522cecb2b2ddbb079016f523a0ddc9bef7e341d8)

Then I waited extra long, but nothing happened, other mice there is not in our house.
It was worth it anyway, because the cheese was really good.  ;)

Is this OK Russ?

Please give me message, if I may come out of the corner again.

Helmut, you have redeemed yourself and I am proud of you. You may come out of the corner and I even will give you a lollipop.

(I hope Google has a good translation for "lollipop". It is a very stupid sounding word and perfect for that sentence.)

Doch!  Very funny.  Also looks like the start of an interesting science fiction movie ...

Cheers,

I was tempted to say it was a cheesy set up (in the best possible way), but thought someone else might snap up that reply, and you looked so comfortable in your corner, Helmut, that I didn't want to crowd you out by being sent to join you there :)
