I'm 48
I have my own business where I offer a service of 'metal and wood'
I make security gates of various styles and use different techniques
for various applications.
As far as wood is concerned.....phew.. tough to answer.
I mostly build bar, restaurant, shop counters and cabinets to suite
customer requirements. Most of my work is free style. ( I hate melamine box work. Like kithchen/bedroom fittings.) dont get me wrong its a good profession. I do it, but HATE it!
I also do a fair amount of furniture restoration.
I enjoy incorporating my metal work with my woodwork.

Hi all
Does someone out there on this wonderfull planet have carcass plans for upholsterd recliners.???????
You would think that surfing the net would yield some results? Ha!
I have an old Engligh padded rocking recliner that I have disected. It still has the old springs for the seat as well as springs for the rocking. Great project…. I just need more alternatives.
Bein 6’9” I have to manufacture my own recliner to suit my frame and would greatley appreciate any suggestions and plans. The upholstery I leave to the pro’s
thanks.
