Abstract: The invention relates to a method of performing a chemical reaction under elevated pressure. It is suggested that the method comprises the steps of pressurizing a first vessel (3) and a second vessel (5) with reactant-containing liquid and gas to a predetermined pressure, providing reaction conditions in one of the vessels (3, 5) such that the chemical reaction is effected and a product-containing liquid is obtained, withdrawing liquid from the respective vessel (3, 5) as reaction product when a predetermined amount of reaction product has formed, preferably after the chemical reaction in the respective vessel (3, 5) has concluded, and synchronously supplying reactant-containing liquid to the respective other vessel (3, 5), wherein the first and second vessels (3, 5) are in fluid communication by way of a gas communication passage (27). The invention also relates to an apparatus and use thereof for performing said chemical reaction.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a lamp, wherein the lamp base is made by providing a polyhedral block of wood and cutting the vertical plane faces of the block to form vertically curved sides while still maintaining the straight shape of the faces in the horizontal direction. The lamp shade is made from a plurality of nestable curved panels that are cut from a rectangular parallelepiped block. The panels are placed on a multi-faced form and their vertical edges are joined together to form the shade.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a sofa, wherein an integral seat and back is formed by joining the sides of the boards together using a form to create a surface having an upward back portion and a horizontal seat portion. The seat is supported upon a pair of spaced apart legs. A pair of arms is constructed from blocks of wood by cutting through each block to form a convex piece and a mating concave piece. The backsides of the two pieces are joined to each other in a vertically offset manner to form joint surfaces. The upper offset portion is cut off and the remaining arm is joined to the seat utilizing its joint surfaces.
