mc5 - AVMA Take 2

[UK] Two questions in one? I'll choose to answer Is it manufactured. NO

Hmmm... Human-made - yet NOT manufactured... Is it a by-product?

All that is not unique is not manufactured.

[UK] Manufactured: to produce goods in large numbers, usually in a factory using machines.
Is it a by-product? Of what? The answer's NO anyway, I'm just curious.

I Say, Porter!

I think my point is you can make more than one of a thing without manufacturing being involved at all.

I Say, Porter!

... is going to sit in Place Luxembourg basking in the sunshine with a couple of cool beers ('cos it's Happy Hour - 2 for 1). Pissed if back later.

ImNotJohn

Are instances of this still being made?

(to re-pose the remainder of UK's question)

Irouléguy

Is this specific to a particular culture or country?

I Say, Porter!

[INJ] in production? The thing itself NO, images of the thing YES, in fact probably even manufactured (sorry, Korks).
[Irg]YES audience applause

Tuj

Begins with P?

Projoy

Bigger than a phone box?

I Say, Porter!

[Tuj] P Please Bob? NO
[Pj] Between Phonebox and Shed? NO

Kim

Is it an implement?

I Say, Porter!

[Kim] Implement? NO

Uncle Korky

Still confused... Is is hand-made?

ImNotJohn

Are the various instances of this essentially the same?

i.e. there is only one design and differences are due to variations in the making process.

Projoy

Bigger than a tea-chest?

I Say, Porter!

[UK] Handmade YES
[INJ] YES, recognisably similar.
[Pj] NO even smaller still than a tea chest. For free, it's larger than a tea caddy.

Projoy

[ISP] We know it is. :) You already told us it's larger than a toaster :)

Projoy

An example of a craft?

*quietly points out that, etymologically at least, the word "manufactured" means "hand-made"**

I Say, Porter!

[Pj] Crafted? YES.
[Man-u-facture] Pardon me for using dictionaries to look up definitions. It won't happen again.

Uncle Korky

Is it light enough to be carried?

I Say, Porter!

[UK] Portable? YES but unhelpful I expect. Not my first unhelpful answer, either.

Tuj

A household item?

...however you wish to interpret that.

I Say, Porter!

[Tuj] One in every home? NO

Tuj

Does it belong outside?

Irouléguy

Is the particular country/culture European?

Projoy

Metal all the way through?

I Say, Porter!

[Tuj] Out of doors? YES audience applause
[Irouléguy] Europe to something? YES indeed
[Projoy] Showing its mettle? YES more audience applause
Well done all three.

Street furniture?

Used in sport?

Red in colour?

[Pj] NOT street furniture.
[Irg] NOT used in sport
[Lib] Red? NOT AS SUCH.

CdM

A sculpture?

I Say, Porter!

[CdM] Sculpted? YES audience goes wild. I still maintain that it is not ars gratia artis as such.

CdM

Does it have a purpose beyond aesthetics?

(particularly since you claim it is not beautiful)
