i thought i'd just share a few pictures of my latest diy stuff. while cleaning the garage, i found many items that either needed to be tossed or restored quickly.

rack with new finish and eames lounge chair with new leather upholstery. i tried to re-upholster the chair and ottoman for a long time but most places wanted $400 - $600 to do the job with real leather. even in this bad economy, they weren't willing to give me a better price! i said, "screw them" and bought some leather off ebay and here they are. new listening chair for $50 worth of materials.

Nice rack too.

Last time I said that , I got slapped .:D


Very nice job on both , that chair and ottoman look professionally done . :thmbsp:

Love the Eames!

thanks guys.

i couldn't do the welting with my wife's sewing machine. i broke about half dozen needles. :D ...but without the welting, it still looks ok.

Sweet chair! :yes:

I want one, but I'd settle for an Ekorness Stressless.

I like the chair....Looks comfy.

Superior job!

Vintage Hi Fi, Vintage furniture. Fabulous!

thanks for the compliments.

now, all i need is one of those lava lamps. :scratch2:

Too bad there's no "before" pictures of the chair. I could use a chair like that. Looks great!
