And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

The legs on that style of furniture always make me think they're about to collapse.
Inherited something similar. Filled with 500lbs (slight exaggeration) of tubes and 1960’s state of the art electronics. Takes 2 men to move. Too far gone for original music purpose, but I loved the style (mine is ornately crafted) and now use it as a one of a kind cocktail bar.
Is that a foreign job?

DeleteShowing my age here, but I remember the furniture in our living room when I was a kid with legs like that. They called it "Danish Modern".
ReplyDeleteLower average weight in Denmark, I suppose.
DeleteOr Early Marriage.
DeleteThe legs collapse when you attempt to drag it across the floor, instead of picking it up to move it.
ReplyDeleteCertainly across shag carpet.
DeleteSnag carpet?
DeleteSeems they were never attached too well.
ReplyDeleteThe equivalent of built-in-obsolescence. It would fall over, break and get replaced.
ReplyDeleteNice drink holders on the ends.
