Bomber seat

[Tobi/DFL]

Hello together,

after reading in this forum for quite a while without contributing a lot, I now want to share the build of my aluminum bomber style seat with you.
In the past 1 or 2 years I was getting more and more fascinated by the metalshaping skills of many people I have seen in the internet and started to read an re-read books, watch videos and suck in as much information about the topic as possible.

As we all know the best way to learn something is to do it so I looked for a project which would teach me how to form metal by hand and with the help of some basic machines but still be something that can be used afterwards.
On youtube I saw a video by Ron Covell in which he makes a aluminum bomber seat. I loved the look oft he seat so much that I wanted to give it a try by myself.

After countless hours of work and making some mistakes on my way I am now finished with the seat. It´s by far rougher than the seat by Mr. Covell but I am happy with the result anyway.

Bye,

Tobi
