Earache Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 1 hour ago, Slowlycatchymonkey said: @Earache I’m refurbing a chair (well it will be two chairs, two sofas and and coffee table) and I wondered what the wood is. Any chance you know? The chairs have been stored cos I couldn’t part with them but didn’t know what to do with it till now. Think thats a date sticker, it was certainly bought in the 70’s if that narrows down by what was available then. Its extremely heavy and hard wearing. I used the sofas for about 15 years with three boisterous wreckers in the house and there’s not a mark on them. Quite an open grain. Parts look like red oak, but the arm has a more open style grain like fir. But if it's a heavy wood, it's most likely oak. Nice piece!

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 @Earache Quite happy with the first session considering I’ve never used any of the tools (apart from scissors) before, so the base is nearly ready. Started off with a layer of nylon with foam attached that crumbled to a choking dust when you touched it, rubber webbing that had degraded to the point of disintegration and some bizarre packing tape repair which only farmer genetics would consider ok oh and so many awful staples. New webbing, a layer of hessian and some recycled felt, just one more layer before tackling the big stuff. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was dinner in one of the casinos? I don't recall anywhere with that many screens very near you... My day will consist of more 3D printing of things for an old bike, it's so much easier than doing actual mechanical work and you don't have to wash grease off your hands when you're done. Hmm, Vids please. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Happy Sunday First sunday with just me and Mr Slowly in the house for a long time. Going to make the most of it by doing a lazy roasted tray bake and watching TV. Might try and finish the design for the chair covers or might do bugger all for the rest of the day 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
