Looks like this was an updated mechanism that was started by Robert Jupe in 1830.

Jon from Rush Design who helped me cut the table top with CNC recommended threaded insets should be inserted to prevent screws from ripping apart the table top. These are the press-in variety.

All the parts for the Hafele LEDs with Touch Sensor I ordered some time ago have finally arrived. I hope to integrate them into my desk project. Here’s the first test run to see that it works.

After Häfele, I walked over to Simon’s on 3rd Ave. Simon’s is a distributor for many companies like Håfele so I think I’ll have more choices there to source hardware for my desk. Here, I found something that made me think about my thesis… A chrome handle, vs one wrapped in leather.

It’s really a shame that we can’t feel materials through the internet yet. Of course chrome felt cold and leather felt warm. Chrome also gives the impression of being “new”. The leather with darkened metal looks sophisticated… like something that would belong to an old-school athletic club.
Here’s another set of handles.

Sure the styles are different, but the perception of these two handles judging by their materials where our hands would touch is also different. Are we more likely to want to touch the one with the natural wood color? or painted plastic?
Sometimes it’s difficult to imagine all the possible features I could integrate into my table, especially with all the hardware I might need. Sure I could create it all from scratch in the metal shop but sometimes there just isn’t enough time. The Haafele showroom definitely helped in realizing some of the possibilities. Will post later regarding some of the components I might use.
