Love the video! You put quite a bit of work into that chair. Are you willing to share what the final price was to your customer? Also, have you ever coated the fasteners to color match the other parts?

Thanks! Most of the restoration work we do is for folks who have pieces with sentimental value. They are the ones willing to pay for the work required to restore it. We use all stainless steel hardware, so we've never had to coat it. I personally like the look of the unfinished hardware, so that is just what I do.

Noice! To prevent the rockers from getting scaped up I rip some white pex tubing and snap it on there to protect them.

What brand is that blue oven? Looks like a nice unit.

@CrosslincBiz 5 ай бұрын

Its a great oven. I've had it over 10 years. It was a small production run made by a guy who was an engineer who designed and sold them online. He no longer makes them, unfortunately.

@@CrosslincBizis it a convection with a circulating fan, or is there just the elements below that perforated bottom plate?

@CrosslincBiz 5 ай бұрын

There's a circulation fan at the top that pulls the air up, then pushes it down inside the sidewalls, across the elements, and back up through the perforated plate.

Excellent step by step. What MIG wire and settings are you using for your tack welds? I’ve got an identical Arvin rocker as well as some Bunting chairs of my own that I’m restoring. Thanks.

Thanks! The wire is whatever Vulcan brand Harbor Freight sells. My settings are kind of difficult to translate as it is an Eastwood Co. welder, and it's just letters and numbers for voltage and feed speed. But obviously, it's pretty low and slow.
