Very good 👍 👏. I do this full time, 25 years now and I still enjoy seeing others doing it. I'm in Scotland and have found seaweed stuffing before amongst other things.

I didn't know tin in a dining room chair was a thing. Also didn't know seaweed stuffing was a thing. Those chairs are very cool. Your restorations are so relaxing!

I thought at first this project is one I need to do- my father's high chair (1910j. It is a simple craftsman style with a worn out leather seat. No metal pan or seaweed, though. Just a slightly curved wooden sub seat and cotton stuffing under the leather. I have a nice piece of leather left over from some leather pants I made in 1970 😄. A good simple project (I hope).

I visited a Museum in Riga, Latvia today and they had a chair exhibit. All the chairs (more often than not, built by German Guilds) were padded with Seaweed; bare in mind these things were made from 1600 - 1800.

Hello. I have two chairs that I would like to redo with a very low profile seat, like these. They don't have the tin parts (they were webbed in the past), so I don't know if I should make some out of tin or if there is a more commonly used material (like thin plywood ?) that would also work. If I use webbing, then the layers of stuffing, then my outer fabric, I can't figure out what I attach the fabric to if there is nothing to wrap around as you did with the tin seat. Initially the chairs had a very thin leather and then they were nailed all wround, with the nails very close to eachother. The wood on my chairs is pretty beat up from all those nails, so I worry about how well the nails can hold. Having a new ;layer of something thin, like the tin or thin wood, seems like it might help. Thank you!

These tin seats were highly unusual from my nearly 50 years experience. Sight unseen, it sounds as if your chairs originally had pressed-fiber seats, almost like cardboard with a tooled-leather embossing. For more information you can email hipster73@hotmail.com
