My buddy Andre stopped by and we started working on the seat backs. Andre started fabricating the various angles while I got started modifying the upper seat adjustment mechanism. I laid out and cut lightening holes according to the plans. I have no idea why they didn’t lay these out evenly along the length.
The ends need a couple of tapering cuts so that they look cooler.
I laid out all the holes along the four sides according to the holes and them drilled them through both seat backs simultaneously. I only drilled these to #40 right now. Once everything is drilled, I’ll step these up to #30.
Two of the 0.063″ angles need the corners rounded over. I used my trim router and a 1/8″ roundover bit to radius the corner.
After cleaning this up on the scotchbrite wheel, you can see how it tucks nicely into the bend at the top of the seat back.
Finally, we match drilled the side and top angles to one of the seat backs.
