So...I don't have much of a post today, just wanted to show off my new seating apparatus. Has one of your chairs at work ever been broken by one of your, well, larger than normal co-workers? No names. Don't toss it out, repair it!! And no this is not a Mighty-Mend-It ad where Billy Mays will tell you that if you buy enough of this product you could actually make a whole new chair. With a little careful template work you too can fix that oh so comfy chair that was almost thrown out by HR Puff n Stuff.
Materials: 2 pieces of 3/4" plywood
I won't bore you guys with the details. All you really need to know is double up that ply with a little glue, cut it, sand it, shape it, rout it. And bada-bing!! A treasure that you can be proud of, and one your wife will probably make you leave out in the workshop. Enjoy!!
So...in order to prevent this idea backfiring for the rest of you, let me add this advice. Say you do something, like, fix a really comfortable chair from work with some old plywood and put it in the home office. What you expect to happen is (in order)
ReplyDeleteA. Your wife loves that you were thinking about her having to study long hours in there and wanted her to have a luxurious place to sit.
B. Your wife secretly thinks that the chair is the most hideous thing she has ever seen.
C. She nicely lets you put the chair in your workshop for a relaxing place for you, (which is where you wanted it in the first place!)
What happens is, you've had your wife in the country so long, she loves the chair, thinks it original, and wants to keep it right where it is.
It just goes to show you, never underestimate the tackiness of a woman tacky enough to marry you in the first place!!
Oh sweet irony!
Dude, that is go ghetto, But I would use it. It reminds me of my pink bachelor recliner I had when I got married
