It's really quality stuff, each bit designed/drafted for perfection kzitem.infoUgkx5WQ3WP9ku9goJTCwWiteQ2BfbhKsH_vl Chairs that are comfortable as heck, but would also probably last generations and all sorts of abuse, not that I'm going to put it through that. Everything about this chair is pleasant, the only thing I'd make a note of is that the low back may be an issue for some. For me, it's comfy and sits just right.

It's probably pretty nice having the seat and back designed the way you've designed them. That way whenever they get worn down, you can replace them much more easily in comparison to some other more permanent designs. The frame of the chair is likely to last longer in comparison to the leather, so this design makes the most sense. Good job!

Hi Mike, I am glad that you started your first project with leather. I have a suggestion as you mentioned that you want to make one more chair. The "one needle method" that you learned is not secure when you are making big pieces. The method reduces the durability of the stitching, which might be difficult as it's a chair. We usually use two needles and one thread to make the stitching more durable as even it comes off, the two pieces (in your case, two sides) of leather won't easily come apart.

You can try to sharpen the stitching punch to avoid the punch getting stuck. When you punch the hole, you can also try to use a ruler and press down the leather before taking the punch out. :D

I was thinking that as well, or more of a material that is used for beach chairs normally. That way sitting in it after a dip in the pool or lots of wear and tear on the beach it wont deteriorate as fast.

Hey bud, try diluted PVC wood glue and newspaper instead of the carpet tape. It takes a little more time but it works the same and it's a little easier on the environment and to pull apart. :)
