Our First Bomber Seat.

I recently moved in with a good friend and Fabricator in Efforts to mass produce the knowledge, tools, and equipment at an affordable price to the consumer This is our First Product together. were targeting equipment as the main product but for now were Just experimenting with different skills and abilities we have to make this happen

 

That's a good looking seat. I'm sure you'll get alot of interest. It's kind of a "refined bomber" if there's such a thing.

 

They look REALLY nice. The only thing I can see being a problem is the sharp edges that aren't rolled over or anything.

 

Good point.

 

yeah it needs more of a substantial framework. maybe where the rivits are just add something to the back or roll the edge over some 1/16 rod or something.

 

Im gonna head out to the lab Ill post the results

 

With the help of the Nintendo Gun I found the right diameter for the edges and ill just make a one inch strip out of the 0.80 alum I used to match the profiles of the seat and then re rivit the leather between the seat and the new strip on the back side.

 

Aluminum pencil rod welded along every exposed edge would work nice, even if you would have to outsource the welding. The design looks great though. Bomber jacket leather pads would look killer! While I'm at it, circles (lightening holes) cut in the upholstered board would be really nice looking too.

 

not to late for the holes we could cut it from the back side deburr and wrap I kinda like that Idea for sure. what do you mean by bomber jacket leather pads?

 

Just the broken in (weathered) brown leather. I think they even have a vinyl that replicates brown worn leather. I've seen new couches upholstered with the stuff.

I think you're gonna come out with the perfect Bomber seat, right as the craze dies out.

Damn fine work though.

 

Potential for great looking bomber seats.
Congrats.

 

Bad timing, the Liberty Belle just crashed and burned.

That really sucks. That was a cool old plane. At least everyone on board is O.K.

 

Let me know when you have a finished final design pair ready for sale. Depending on price I may be interested in a pair for my Model A Roadster Pickup. They look Good!

 

That's a nice looking seat. I plan on making my seats as well, using hot rolled steel instead of aluminum. Nuthin' like hot rolled after it has cleared.

 

I was gonna say the same thing....kinda played out aren't they? Nice looking seat though.

 

nice seat

 

thanks for the feed back heres the finished result

 

Now thats a bomber seat! good work guys, I think you'd get some decent business selling to the public. Or maybe just HAMB-only members?

 

Nicely done sir. Mighty fine craftsmanship.

 

don't you need some larger diameter lip at the front edge. to give strength (from sagging) since the sides are so far back from the front edge and to keep someones legs from getting cut..). being so flat does not look comfortable. (maybe study some of the real one that came out of planes.. they were made for long flights..

I think it is a great start. I am going to be in the market in the near future for a set of seats for my modified project.. will be curious to see what your final design ends up looking like

 

Does any one have a how-to set rivets or a good video?
I did a search and got nothing
I want rivet some sheet metal together.
thanks

 

When you get them worked out I'd be happy to put them as a new product in the Gazette.

WAY COOL!
