Great job
Thanks.
I call dibs on one of those bunks or settees! Nice job Tom, and great choice on the materials
Reserved...thanks.
Those cushions came out great.
I hear you on not doing the upholstery yourself. That and the final paint are the only things I'm 'farming out' to folks who know more than I.
Despite the cost, paying a pro to do the cushions is money well spent. If you have one in the family, so much the better !
Yeah, sewing is not my forte, it would have resulted in a mess and taken weeks to do what Tom did in a day. Besides, he had all the batting, zippers, thread, etc. to make it a professional job. Tom is a Master furniture builder and woodworker. You can check out his website here.
Painting is easy for me, I have all the gear and know what to do. Still. a lot of work for prepping and surface remediation is usually necessary. For your glassed surface, I would imagine a boat painter would be a definite shortcut.
