I started doing up my own chairs then friends asked me to do some for them and it went from there.It’s been such great fun finding chairs on the side of the road, at rubbish dumps,on my doorstep, at salvage yard. I’ve even traveled to Canberra to pick some u!, but that was a one off. It’s great to restore them. I have learnt that the are so many variations of a director chair too. Once I’ve stripped all the old covers off, I put screws and nails in all accessible joins, sand and oil them before putting cross bars on for even more stability and finally adding new covers made of weather resistant polyester canvas, which I’ve made double thickness so they look good all round
