wtnhighlander Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Epispde 2: Does anyone agree with the judges tonight? Personally, I didn't care for the winning design, but kudos to the build crew for making it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krtwood Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 The first episode they said Katie's piece would work in any style room and I was like "Huh?" and this time she's #1. It's certainly different but I can't see anything she's made being in anybody's home. I thought the china cabinet was the best piece.

TerryMcK Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Is this show better than the other one (Spike.com)? If it is I may have a look on the internet for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Terry, I haven't seen the show on Spike yet. EDC probably doesn't show any more of the build process, but from what I hear, the drama is a bit more toned down. At least most of the pieces have been nice, solid designs. Katie the crayon girl is the most 'unconventional'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyrolan Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 ...I can't see anything she's made being in anybody's home. That may be because this is a woodworking forum and you're a woodworker. I have many friends/colleagues that would happily have her pieces in their homes...especially those in modern urban downtown condos. I don't even know who was eliminated last night because our recording got cut off and apparently the show isn't big enough to garner any coverage whatsoever online.

Rapid Roger Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 I happened to see both the first and second episodes of the Ellen show last night. It is a TV show! Supposedly using "design" and "woodworking" (making) to get viewers attention. But, in reality, it is about personality's and drama to appeal to more people, especially women. Is it entertaining? Eh, It is OK. Does it have anything to do with wood working? NO! It doesn't even have that much to do with design either. Is it about men and women working together and forming relationships? I think so. Is it about drama? Well they try to get some exciting drama into it but, face it how much drama can you get out of a "game" being judged by other dramatic egos. I still can't see (even with the "ARMY" of helpers) how anyone (or group) can build such elaborate pieces in three days. They wouldn't be fudging on us would they? Could they possibly have the build last more like a week or more and not tell us? I can't even get glue to dry and put a decent finish on anything in three days! I know CNC machines are fast but, with all of those cuts in the Plexiglas doors would still take an hour or more by its self! And the fitting and glue-up of the doors with diagonal grain in them would be a "bear" to accomplish in a day! Rant over....Yes, I may watch another episode or two just to see who wins the $100,000.

TerryMcK Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 I won't bother searching either program out then. Doesn't sound as it would interest me very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBM Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 I agree with Rog on the assembly time and yes they have added drama. I was glad to see the lady who lost the 2nd week. I think she should have been gone the first week. I wish they would even do an online extras showing the building of the projects for all the woodworking community.

wtnhighlander Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 I'm with JBM. I can't understand how that woman made it past the first week. The remaining contestants actually seem to have a flair for interesting designs, and appear to mesh well with their assigned 'carpenter'. As the field shrinks, hopefully there will be more footage of the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBM Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Liked last night's episode, Tim did some nice work with the table, even after giving his first choice of slab away. I can't believe that it would sell for $30K. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyrolan Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I can't believe that it would sell for $30K. Well, she did say in her SoHo store...so that's not exactly the land of Value CIty Furniture. NYC can be a crazy place...and anyone living in SoHo that actually has a place big enough to have a dining table that size is the kind of person who pays $30K for one... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Glad to ser Tim's design chosen as the winner. Couldn't believe that funky cow table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy Cindy Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Thanks for pointing out this show, I hadn't been aware of it. I loved the winning table design in this week's episode. I am happy to see a show featuring furniture design and am pleased it is interesting enough for the masses. Too often I think people are unaware of the possibilities of furniture and think of it as just something to sit on, eat on, or hold stuff. This show can help broaden their vision.

wtnhighlander Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Well, I finally caught an episode of Framework on SpikeTV. I think I'll stick with EDC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Liked last night's episode, Tim did some nice work with the table, even after giving his first choice of slab away. I can't believe that it would sell for $30K. Nothing better than getting the opportunities to use materials with no monetary cost to you. That slab was like $1600 alone. Stainless steel isn't all that cheap either. Gotta figure there's at least 3000 in materials alone in that table. As far as it costing 30K, no way would I spend that money on a table like that.

Rick A McQuay Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 They didn't send anyone home this week, bit of a cop out. Crayon girl and her cow table would had to have been put out to pasture and clearly Ellen did not want that to happen. I can understand, she is arguably the 2nd best performer in the pack and Cowboy would walk away with an easy win if she goes. The Blacksmith's table was almost as bad as the cow table, almost. Gaspar had an interesting idea with the tree table but didn't take the concept far enough. Carley (blacksmith) and Gaspar have both designed better (based on their portfolios) than they are doing on the show, I'm disappointed in their performance. Tim (cowboy) just has far more experience than the rest. I find it mildly annoying when they criticize his furniture as too masculine since they never criticize Carley's furniture for being too feminine or childish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krtwood Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Gaspar was the only one to make a couch that looked like it belonged there but they've already picked the final two as being Tim and Katie so no win for him at this point. I knew as soon as they said we had to take into consideration the past work it was going to be Carley going home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 It was nice to see them showing some woodworking, even if it was just using a table saw, jig saw, and an oscillating edge sander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vyrolan Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Guys, can we talk about that cow table? The top of that table was actually really cool I thought. The legs completely totally ruined it. Some simple cylindical legs in either polised or brushed steel would have made a great piece. The haphazardly-tapered legs trying to extend the black/white was just a horrendously-bad idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
