MODE CRAFT barber chair (part 2 of 2) | ||

Thanks SO MUCH (if belatedly) to Johnsmith, Anik, Brunswick, blunderbuss2, fortapache, Trey, and aura for your <love it>s!! (esp. to aura for bringing this post back to my attention today!!)
Since hauling this chair here, I have in fact spent a good bit of time and elbow grease with steel wool/brushes and WD-40 to disassemble/clean off much of the surface rust on its metal parts. (and a full bottle of leather-treatment oil too, for that matter...) Also, and because that process happened at the shop, it didn't get reassembled until being brought 'home' in pieces -- *way* too heavy when fully put together for me to have been able to get it in the house all together, if in fact it would have fit thru the door/hall in one piece. ;-) The resulting/remaining chrome plating on most of it isn't perfect anymore, but looks a WHOLE LOT betterer as the chair now sits here in my computer room where, indeed, *two* of my friends (but not myself yet) have now actually got their own hair 'trimmed up' while sitting in it!!! <big grin> :-) :-) :-)
