What have you been up to today

[Chris KC]

I decided to resurrect a thread from the old forum which was often interesting, it is a great place to post information about the small jobs, runs, etc that you have been up to.

To kick off I have been giving my Nippy a bit of a birthday, the old seats were in a terrible state so once I had repaired the metal frames, my brother in law Kirk who is an upholsterer offered to help me recover them. We have tried to where possible use authentic materials and construction, the following pictures show some of the sequence we have been going through.

Obviously making a super job of those Ian! As a member with a Nippy-in-waiting I'd love to hear more about how you formed the wood (steamed? or laminated?) and indeed how the metalwork ended up that good (are those 'restored'? or re-made?)
