<p>[QUOTE="Number 47, post: 2057867, member: 10867"]Thanks Jeff, a lot of good ideas there, I was watching that video I posted last night and went trawling ebay to see if I could find anything similar. Now, that company is no longer in business and I hope it is not due to people falling through their renovated chairs as I have opted to get crafty with this and do a full restoration. I'm trying to keep it as close to original as possible so I'm going with this stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]249400[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Hopefully it will take the weight.
