I guess I'll be the first to say hello to everyone.
I know nothing about furniture other than it makes empty rooms nice so please don't take offense if I don't respond to posts concerning furniture. You probably don't want me replying anyway .
I met Duane (site owner) about 10 yrs ago on an internet mailing list for BMW cars and jumped to different lists that have evolved to cars in general and motorcycles.
I'm just here to help out with the technical side of this forum. If you don't like it, blame Duane. He asked for my help .
Hope you enjoy this site!
Hey I am SO glad to see that Duane has his own site now, so if we can just get the crowd from the furniture forum on Gardenway to get on over here we will be all set. I suppose if we keep telling people to come here we will all get thrown off there as well.
Well I am moving to CA in another two weeks and I have been buying furniture in anticipation. I have some pieces, a Bradington Young recliner and two Miles Talbot pcs. a sofa and a chair waiting to be delivered before we move. Have not even seen them yet I hope they are ok as there will be no time to send em back.
I still have some pcs to get once I get to CA. mostly Foyer furniture and Nice book cases and a desk/hutch. also several rugs. I hope I can find things I like in CA

Just thought I'd drop a note here. I own and operate a furniture repair and refinishing company. Most of what I do is wood related -- touch up, structural repairs, refinishing, modifications and deluxing.
I also do some upholstery work. I don't have a sewing machine and don't want one, so I draw the line there. But I remove and replace panels, repair frames, swap mechanisms, and do a lot of spot cleaning.
Most of my work (with the exception of refinishing and things that need the workshop) is done on-site.
Welcome aboard!

Welcome Fixerupper!
Where are you located? Might help if someone needs your services.
Glad to have you on board. If you have the time and inclination, would be great if you can post a primer on repairs into the appropriate forum since we have zero postings in that category right now.

Do you make house calls to Shrewsbury?? I have a leather sofa with 3 holes in it and I cannot get anyone to patch it. :-)
Sorry ....(padding out to 10+ characters)
