Full and Frisky

If you're of a mind that legitimate art galleries should have off-white walls no more than about 5 percent occupied by a neat row of small or large canvases whose centers are at or a little above eye level, and that the viewer should stand a prescribed distance from those works to fully take in their gravitas, and that gallery owners shouldn't dye their hair green or crimson on a whim, you really shouldn't bother climbing the stairs to visit the Tim Faulkner Gallery at 632 E. Market St.

This saw is also designed to deliver quick, accurate bevel cuts. You can easily set up for bevel cuts that measure between 0 and 48 degrees to the left and to the right. This handy setup provides increased capacity for big jobs and allows you to flip the saw instead of the material. Plus, with hardened steel bevel stops at 0, 33.9, 45 and 48 degrees on both sides, it makes finding and setting the most common bevel angles a quick, easy process.You might think that artists would object to having their work hung on walls in the midst of many others' pieces, but that's not the case here. "That's an aspect I like," says 25-year-old sculptor Patrick White. "I think my sculpture looks better with all the paintings around it, just as I think my sculptures add to each room. With Tim's gallery, everything's very much alive - not in your face,' but very stimulating, to say the least."Of course the painters and sculptors aren't really the ones nudging buyers toward a purchase, notes Hertz, who's a big fan of Spivey and Faulkner. "I used to think I could makes sales - you know, sell ice to Eskimos," says Hertz. "Well, Margaret sells 'em two bags. You need to go down there on a First Friday and see her operate."Portable and Compatible with the DEWALT Laser or L.E.D. System! This lightweight compound miter saw weighs just 44 pounds and features a built-in carry handle, so you can move it around the jobsite easily and lift it comfortably when it comes time to stow the saw at the end of the day.An easy-to-adjust cam-lock miter handle delivers quick and accurate miter angles, and features a convenient detent override, which allows you to adjust the miter setting without the saw slipping into the miter detents. And the saw�s big miter capacity�0 to 50 degrees to the left and the right�adds versatility.When choosing the crown moulding for your rooms, make sure to choose the right moulding depending on the room dimensions and ceiling height. Select the materials that are sturdy, dependable, and weather-proof. The world of home furnishing has undergone a revolutionary change with the advent of crown moulding."I asked Billy, 'Can you give me two months on this?' He said no. He said, 'I'll make you a hell of a deal - you want it?' I said yeah. He said, 'But you've gotta be in in 10 days; you gotta be open for the First Friday of August.' 'OK,' I said, 'so I've got 10 days to move the entire space?' He said yeah.""We don't want that eat-your-cheese-and-move-to-the-next-piece sort of atmosphere here," says Spivey. "Some people, this atmosphere makes them so uncomfortable that they'll leave within the first five minutes. They don't know what to do.""Rusty was showing here in town for quite awhile. He was having some success through several of the galleries here," says Faulkner. "When we moved from the 800 block to here, Rusty said, 'Hey, can we do something together?' I said yeah, of course. The first painting he brought over we sold in two hours. As soon as that happened, he dropped his representation with other galleries and came on board with us."Crown moulding ideas can be retraced to the Roman and Grecian culture where it became vastly popular. Wooden crown moulding gained popularity later when craftsmen mastered the art of cutting, sanding, and carving wooden blocks to create masterpieces. Crown moulding is affordable and can be implemented in almost any type of room. You can buy the raw materials yourself and get it made professionally by customizing it. What materials you choose for crown moulding will largely determine how durable and beautiful it is going to be. Superior quality materials for home furnishing are likely to be far more expensive but are less likely to be damaged.Adds painter/ceramicist Eric Phagan, 31, "I like that all the work surrounds you and kind of forces you to really look at the pieces and keeps the eye moving. Everybody's work plays off each other; I think Tim has a great eye for art and placement."This 12-inch double-bevel compound miter saw also comes with a DEWALT warranty package that includes a three-year limited warranty, a one-year free service contract, and a 90-day money-back guarantee."I came over to the gallery for the first time," Spivey says of that initial August opening, "and I haven't left. I dropped everything else and put 100 percent of all my energy into this gallery." The two are a near-perfect team, exceedingly welcoming of young, raw talent and oddball practitioners and completely turned off by pretense.

Of course the painters and sculptors aren't really the ones nudging buyers toward a purchase, notes Hertz, who's a big fan of Spivey and Faulkner. "I used to think I could makes sales - you know, sell ice to Eskimos," says Hertz. "Well, Margaret sells 'em two bags. You need to go down there on a First Friday and see her operate."
