New (for me) chair.

Ok, my last chair at my drafting table, where I paint, wasn't that comfortable for long sits. But I couldn't force myself to buy a new one when it still did it's basic function; a place to park my kester.

Jan and I were down at the Restore; and they had some doctor's office style stools for $12, I pickout the best of the bunch, debated and finally brought it back home, I wasn't sure how I felt about a backless chair, but it was worth a shot.

I quickly found out I miss the backing, but I had already given my old chair to my oldest son. I decided to build a back, and as luck would have it, there was a place to add a spot. I dug around the shop and found some basic materals: car leaf spring, wire mesh and some light tubing.






It's not too bad, and a little springy when leaning back.
