Welding, filing and Sanding- Work in Progress

 Sanding and filing the chair in preparation for it to be painted.

The welded joins needed to be well filed and sanded to ensure a neat and consistant finish. Attention to detail is imperative in my chair design due to its simplicity of materials and construction.

 The waving contour of the seat profile is evident in this picture. The steel dips and dives evoking a sense of movement and energy.

I opted to use a matte black primer to finish my chair- i think it produces a finish that is just as good as powdercoating and it allowed me to finish my chair without any external help from the workshop. Its affordable, convenient and only requires a couple of good coats.
