                I once saved a good steel chair from someones trash and did it up. Called it my Alice in Wonderland chair. you can see it here, part of it anyway, used lots of colors. its still in use, the arms need re-sanding and a new coat. its pretty comfy also. 37663_1525240854808_3892504_n.jpg

                  Very nice work @Zigs - you could pick up extra money doing jobs like that. Restoring antique chairs. Maybe add a before and after to your website?

                      There might be people with chairs that they don't want to part with, recovered. You wouldn't even need to lay out any cash. Just take the chair and their fabric away, redo and return and hold out your hand for the money :)

                          Nice Zigs. When I was on the IoW I renovated 4 1940s chairs Was pleased with them. Also did an antique dressing screen, have that here.
