Thread: Update to leaning post Mk2.

'arry, I like the badge! The bar ain't to bad either

One of the best leaning posts I've seen. Beautiful job Harry.

The badge looks good, but my old eyes have trouble reading the pic. What does it say? The cursive says "Samuels Creek Furniture", yes? Then "Quality ...?" and I can't make out the bottom bit at all. Where did you position the badge on the piece? Very prominent I hope.

Pity that ugly aircon spoils the look!

You should be proud of that effort, it looks amazing!

Just noticed your question, sorry for not getting back to you sooner Zen'one

The badge says,
top line, Quality built
main, Samuels Creek Furniture
bottom line, Antiques of the future.
Top line joins along with the bottom to make the sentence.

Its positioned at the middle bottom of the mirror's frame.

A bit of a story how I come about the name

I was thinking of a name that described my local area, was thinking of along the lines of a old name associated with my area. Was thinking of something like Flinders(as in the Flinders Rangers)but Flinders Furniture just doesnt have that "ring" to it, sounds more like a furniture shop.
Then I thought maybe John Pirie Furniture, but still sounds like a shop and a local hotel already has that name.

I knew Port Pirie was named after a sailing ship called the "John Pirie"back in the early~mid 1800's, so did a search as you do and found a site that listed all the passengers cargo and destinations... guess what no Port Pirie, had me stumped for a while then it clicked the destination list kept listing "Samuels Creek"!
Turns out that the plain that Port Pirie is established on was called Samuels Creek originally, it was named after Samuel Germain which I think was one hierarchy of Captain Mathew Flinders crew.
His name also bears at small coastal town 20km from Pirie "Port Germain".
I thought hmmmm "Samuels Creek Furniture" has a nice ring to it and its appropriate too locality.

So there's our little history lesson for today, and I think I have a suitable fitting name for my products.

The leaning post looks great Harry, well done.

I have to agree, "Samuals Creek furniture" does have a really good ring to it.

A great piece Harry.

I gues you will be telling the Germain story a few times!!

So when do you start on the bar stools?

Excellent story behind that badge. Yes "Samuel's Creek" is much better than "Flinders Furniture".
