March 25, 2006 - Seat Backs |
||||||
| I fashioned these center brackets per the drawings. With the band saw and my X-acto saw, I was able to really do a nice job on them, if I do say so myself. It's all about having the right tool for the job. | ||||||

The seat back angles. You can see the notches filed into the four
side angles and the radius of the two top angles.
|
||||||
 |
||||||
| The next step was to drill the angles to the seat back. I drilled #40 holes in the side angles, according to the drawing measurements, then clamped the side angles to the seat back and match-drilled them to #30. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
I did the same with the bottom hinge (except for the end holes -- I
match-drilled those using the side angles as a template).
|
||||||
 |
||||||
| I drilled #40 starter holes in the top and bottom angles, using the drawing measurements, then #30 match-drilled them to the seat backs. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| Finally I drilled the top hinge to the seat back. | ||||||
