Ready for summer, finished

[mailee]

I have been working on some deckchairs today. I got a commision for ten of them! I have made the first one and a set of templates to make the others. Here is the first one in a dry fit. (It still needs the armrest pads on yet)

Looks good - I like your suggestion that only the armrests are missing

It would appear that your client knows something about the long range weather forecast.

Is a wife doing the fabric side of the job?

 

[mailee]

Ah yes Sean, I should have mentioned that the customer is making and fitting the material for the chairs. I have just been commisioned to make the frames in beech.

 

[SeanG]

hee hee - sorry I couldn't resist. They do look good so far though.

Are you plugging the fixing holes on the sides? or going all arts & craft and leaving them visable.

 

[mailee]

I finished all ten of the deckchairs today. All they need now is the fabric attaching and whatever finish the lady is going to put on them. I have enjoyed doing these, just something out of the ordinary.

I'm probably coming for a sit on the beach at Cleethorpes tomorrow, can I borrow a couple?

Si.

I'm interested in the answer to Sean's question, too!

 

[mailee]

Of course you can guys, you will have to bring your own seat covers though. :lol:

Hey Mailee,

I like the design. Do you mind if I download a picture to work from?
I have an old 'beach' windbreak I could use to make the seat!

Thanks
John

Mailee, those are very nice. With some nice Cath Kidston fabric I can see those selling very well.
Pimms anyone?

Well done.
Adam.

Just to make sure biggies like me can use them without fear of falling through:

No problem John, I do have all the plans and cutting list I made with Sketchup if it is any use to you?
