This morning's metalworking session left me with a plastered smile on my face.
OK, maybe I'm exaggerating about the smiling. But I swear, I'm extremely satisfied with the work so far!
The framework of the chair is completely welded.
Some photos of the process of welding the two sides of the frame together:



The process requires a good 15-20 C clamps.
I also found the PERFECT setting for the TIG welder, which allowed me to make smooth, even welds.

Overall, a productive day. Tomorrow, I'll touch up the welds.
With the fabrication of this chair nearing completion, I am scouring for signs to rivet onto the frame. If you have any traffic signs, please contact me at djosephgoteiner@gmail.com. If I don't locate signs, I will just move onto the next frame, and leave the traffic sign component until later.
I also have the option of using wood. If you have experience with wood, please take the time to send me an e-mail with recommendations of: types of wood, ways to incorporate wood, and ways to attach the wood to the metal frame.
Cheers, and look back for more tomorrow!
