Step 2: Rebar End Processing

Step 3: Welding
Welds the frame of the chair.



Bends the E-armature. Since the author does not have special equipment, the author inserted reinforcement between two trees and bending it, he achieved the correct uniform shape on both runners.

Welds it to the frame.

After welding, the author decided to check the rocking chair for strength. Made a suitable fabric temporary seat. Since the chair passed the test, the author proceeded to the next step.


Step 5: Cleaning the seams and coloring the chair
A sander processes seams, removes burrs and sharp edges.


Using soapy water, removes oil stains from the surface. Dries the chair. Do not forget about personal protective equipment primer and paint the rocking chair. And the primer and paint are applied in two layers with a small exposure. Drying time of soil and paint for 24 hours. After drying, the paint is applied.

Then the fabric was folded in half and sewn on a sewing machine. The result was a piece of 1200 mm by 600 mm.



The next step was fabric sewn onto the frame of the chair.


Rocking chair is ready.


Since the author is the first rocking chair, he is pleased with his work, but he still has a few remarks: the skids must be made less curved, powder coated with the surface, and use a pipe instead of reinforcement.

So the blood needs to be liquefied periodically, so that it circulates normally smile
Yeah, they will numb. Blood cannot circulate normally. It is necessary to weld one more pipe to put legs. Reduce the load under the knees.
A pipe under the knees is not very healthyaboutrovo: legs quickly get tired of pressure.
