Building a Special Body

[Ian Williams]

Still not 100% finished, I have a bit more work to do finishing tacking the covers to the frames and sorting out how much stuffing I want in the Squabs. I need them to be comfortable but not too high and most certainly not looking like an over stuffed victorian armchair! I have also had a cheeky comment from a friend about my use of modern square head screws attaching the aluminium to the wooden seat bases, fear not dear friends these are temporary because they were what I had to hand and will have been replaced with period style slot head screws before all is finished. 
And just in case anyone is wondering the leather is attached with cut tacks not modern staples!   
Sadly for those concerned about such things there is some foam in the seats, I could not find a supply of horse hair here, so although the flutes have cotton wadding there is some foam below.
