Morning All. 
Not raining (yet). Bins out, paper fetched.
Up to the old gals later to take trickery readings.
Some welding beckons.
Have a good day.

My new neighbour across the road, ask me to look after their pet puppy Bengi. Seems a bit too friendly for me as you can see.

Morning All.
Another fine day here.
Didn't do any welding y'day, struggled to sink the counterbores in the shaft for the plug-welds.
May try today.
Have a great day!

Now I've done it. 
Herself has rescued a 1930's ladies dressing chair from her mothers.
It is a nicely made Loyyds Loom of London osier/wicker and bent wood framed affair with a proper wood/steel sprung framed seat.
"WE" have decided to update it from its original pastel pink (then overpainted mint-green) to a satin black and to reupholster the seat with a striped cotton duck fabric.
Not done any upholstery before, so it will be err.... FUN of course. So far £45 in materials.

Perfick.
Painting it black will make it look like a piece of garden furniture, so pleeeeese, don't do it!!
Re upholstering won't be too difficult I doubt. Will you be using new foam or what? (I am not Jay Blades!!! But I have done "a bit". )
I will be following this project with interest. Currently very desirous of seeing what material you will be using.
Best of luck with it!!
