Starting the process of sewing everything together. I'm using a special magnetic guide for the machine to make sure the overlap is exactly 12mm, to get a uniform seam, and a correct fit.

The fabric has arrived! It's a high quality 70% wool fabric, made to be really durable.

Let's put on the new foam!

Adding some better wheels. These are made out of proper metal and rubber with ball bearings.

I received the replacement foam for the back and the seat. It's a different material than the original. Hopefully it will last longer.

Now I have to reverse engineer how the fabric is sewn together, by taking apart each piece.

Almost finished.

First I'm removing the old paint with a paint stripper. It was a labour intensive task. After a second round of paint stripper, and leaving it on longer it went much better. The idea is to keep the bare steel as is. I like the industrial look.
