The C. Christiansen Workbench Company, Chicago, Illinois

C. Christiansen Workbench Company, Chicago, Illinois - Manufacturers of workbenches and related equipment for industry and manual arts schools. From John Christiansen, a descendent of the Christiansen family: "I came across these old photographs recently. The group shot is the crew at the Christiansen factory in Chicago taken around 1903. Carl is 2nd from left front row and John , his son, is seated next to him in the middle. The large outdoor photo is a company picnic in 1916. They continued making shop and lab furniture until around 1940. Some of the later benches had cast iron head and tail vises replacing the maple. These vises were made by Abernathy Vise , a company purchased by Carl Christiansen. So if your bench has an Abernathy Vise you can be sure that the bench is made by Christiansen. I enjoy your blog and it makes me feel good to know that these benches are still being used and appreciated. Best Regards, John Christiansen" From Tom Sturgeon: My name is Tom....

In The Works: Japanese Edo Period Shoji

Japanese Edo Period Shoji While researching the original of the Shoji And Kumiko book I published some time ago, I ran the images through Google Translate and asked for some advice from the subRed:Translator. The subRed matched what the new Google Translate translated. Clearly Google has been doing something right. What I realized is the book was published in 1934 but the designs were drawn from Edo period architecture and published in 1920. The glass plate photographs are of existing Edo period architecture. Here is the lead to what will shortly be my updated edition: Frozen Music A Collection Of Japanese Edo Period Architectural Shoji Designs Author: Torazo Ito (Shikizo Ito)* Publisher: Kogyo Shoin; Tokyo, Japan 1920, 1934 “Printed on the 9th year of Taisho (1920) October 6th”. The original drawings and text had been published 14 years prior to the 1934 Kogyo Shoin publication dates. The author and publisher considered the illustrations to be important Edo Period design referen...
