It's all in the Details

Proving a little more work than I thought. Friend of mine wants me to build him a Chunky Chair just like mine. Pricing all the bits and pieces is taking longer than I thought.

This patio, outdoor, all weather chair is damned ugly, heavy, red and very strong. It will support very big and tall people, short and fat, tall and thin or just gigantic.
Because I built the first one for my own use I kinda overbuilt. Solid steel axles, very heavy duty wheels that were doubled up at the rear, half inch steel bolts, all weather deck nails, two by eight and two by ten inch wood, all painted with a high tech elastomeric paint used by the US military and other reputable organizations to seal the wood for years of all weather service. Makes great copy but pricing quantity and quality is really tedious.

I'm getting there.
