A project from a long while back, finally finished

Post by reible »

Or at least just about. There are plugs the fit the screw holes and they have been finished and are drying. Maybe put them in later or tomorrow.

The metal parts are from a kit. The wood is mostly cedar except where the springs mount where I used some treated wood. Exposed fasteners are SS and the hidden screws are treated.

Looks nice, Ed. Did you do the lettering with your Shaper Origin?

The suspension reminds me of a sprung seat on an old horse-drawn wagon. I’m guessing that’s not a coincidence.

The lettering was done some years back, well before I got my new toy. Project was on hold then I miss-placed some hardware and then..... anyway it is done as of today. The plugs are in and ready to see what the weather will do to it.

It is a wagon seat design, wife wants to find some sort of cushion(s) for it so for her is still isn't done.
