myfs_134074 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Dear Mr Cecil Lee or Mr Robert LeeThese are very short questions:1.In relation to Plastic (which a lot of modern day items are made out of) - whichelement is plasticconsidered?2. Also another curious thing I've been thinking about is when a furniture has 2 elements (say wood and metal) for instance which element do you count as the main one? (For instance I have three drawers made out of cane but what keeps it all together is a metal frame).Kind regardsMarySydney, Australia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted June 23, 2008 Staff Share Posted June 23, 2008 1. Plastics are derived from petro-chemicals. Petro-chemicals is considered a "chemical" or fire element. But if the plastic is hardened like "poly-carbite" it can be considered as metal element. Much like glass or tempered glass is generally considered as metal - because of it's harden properties - if we consider the material.But, if platic(s) is molded or can be molded or injected into a wavy form then based on just the shape or profile, it can be considered as a water element.2. Please note that if all these sounds confusing, but yet logical, then as the common saying goes: " An item can be all things to all differentpersons".3. Cane furniture with metal frameIn real life, "Variety is the spice of life"? Heard of this?For example, life will be sooo..soooo.. boring if everything we see, feel or touch is only strictly two tones: Ivory or Ebony (White or black).Life is a harmonious combination usually of two or more elements: Your example is something like things we never see into. For example, the ceiling or beam supporting a concrete building, much like your metal frame, the opposite, here isthat many of us are not aware that all concrete beams have steel frames wrapped to support it! Thus, it is much like your perhaps exposed frame supporting the wooden cabinets? see the resemblance?4. Even for any job or work, although we may have a specific goal e.g. Marketing or Sales person. In this modern world of multi-skilling, he still has to perform other work functions e.g. filling in forms, photo copying, using his motor skills to drive etc...Anonymous wrote:Dear Mr Cecil Lee or Mr Robert LeeThese are very short questions:1.In relation to Plastic (which a lot of modern day items are made out of) - whichelement is plasticconsidered?2.
