Tuning in!

 I had this old knee-chair in my workshop - cushions and fabrics braking apart - so I got the idea of tuning it a bit.

And since I'm doing this blog, my brother happened to give me a pile of strange junk to work with.

 I got an idea to tune the chair bit more and make the piece of wood as a back rest for the chair.

 Took everything apart. Old foams had became partly dust, and none of it was too attractive,

but the frame had actually nice curves.

 

So I flipped the spike threads to the other side to get that pristine surface of wood that was inside to the bottom. 

 Then took apart this old mattress and cut the cushions out of it.

 Piled it up, sew it on and made it ready for the surface.

             And finally wrapped the leather.

 Then modelt these old irons from a raincutter in their place.

Fit in the back rest and made a small cushion for it.

And added these random pieces of another chair I found drifting in the river the day I was making this, then made a small box behind the seat.

And here it is, a strange coincidence for a chair.

Long Live the Pope

This hanger is called the Pope, for the marvelous mitra in his head and gorgeous cross in chest.

Let me share you the story of this piece.

 

  I received this coat hanger from my mother-in-law and got inspired from the piece on top.

 Took it apart and threw away all the plastics.

I thought to mate them with this water meter and was delighted to notice the cross.

 I got to work and drilled some holes and made some threads

 I used the old screw threaded rods and centralized them with a washer as well as used other old holes.

More drillings and helixes for the hangers.

 Cut piece out of brass plate and fitted it bedind. Also glued some strong cardboard on the edges to soften the contact with the wall.

 The cross in the chest and the golden lining in the hat from old electric wire gives it the ceremonial touch.
