Seat Design

 Well, there has been more building than  blogging, so I will attempt to bring things up to date:)
So, the seat design is next on the agenda...

To begin, I created a drawing that was the approximate size I wanted. I cut it out and did some "eye ball'in" to see if it would work.

I then cut it out of some 14 gage sheet metal I had laying around. The edges seemed quite sharp and I wanted a thicker look along the edge. To accomplish the look, 1/8" round rod was added to the edge.

The rod is TIG welded with Silicon Bronze rod to give a brass look along the edge.

The edge is polished a little bit and will be left unpainted when I powder coat the seat pan. Next will be the mounting of the seat to the frame. Keep on choppin.....
