Looked at the kit seats and they did not look the greatest so decided to make them out of 1mm brass tube

Absolutely stunning work, well done

[privatepete]

Hi stunning workmanship, excellent job, very well done

[GollyPo]

Lovely job, particularly with the soldering. Did you use an iron or torch? I'd really like to see a step-by-step or a video of you doing a seat frame or something. I put off messing with solder for ages but tried it recently and it went better than expected, visually, but the strength! I was able to give the part a good bashing about to dent it and the solder didn't get affected at all. Maybe with a decade or two's practice I'll be able to do what you can do!
