On my way to work yesterday out of the corner of my eye I saw that a neighbor had put two chairs out at the curb. I didn't pay much attention but when I was less an a kilometer away I kicked myself for not stopping to take a better look. But I was already running late so didn't go back. I told myself that if they were still there when I went home I'd take a look and probably take them.
Well, they were still there! And other than for a small repair, it looked like all they were missing was cushions. Well, I have a.... SEWING MACHINE! :)
One of the webbings has come off and another is a bit chewed up, and I have no experience with that kind of thing. The strap that has come off has an arrow-shaped end that is supposed to fit into a slot in the frame, but the strap is old and a bit brittle and seems to have no stretch anymore. I might have to replace all the webbing. What should I use?
To attach the webbing, I'm thinking of drilling two holes in the frame at each end of the webbing and with a piece of aluminum strip (with another two holes) sandwich the webbing between the frame and my aluminum strip and fix it with maybe sheet metal screws. I have canvas pliers that I'm sure I could use to get the webbing strap tight enough before tightening it down.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks!
