And still the bad photos comeā€¦
I had a chance to take some photos of the headrests in the daylight which I hope makes them easier to see.
(Obviously, I can't pull the leather tight at this point.)







As there is snow promised I had to get side tracked for a bit clearing twigs & leaves and other crap off the lawn.



This makes it safer to walk across the grass down to the Summer House when it is covered in snow.

By the time I'd finished, it was dark, which is the signal for more rubbish photos to appear.

The tidied up garden.



One of the plywood headrest pieces after smoothing the corners with my angle grinder and sand paper.



I don't have an upholstery stapler, so I wanted to test if the 'tacks' I do have would hold the leather in place.

So some spare leather and plywood were joined together.



The good news is that I was able to pull the leather tight over the edge with no problems.



Finally, I tested two layers of leather as I am sure there will be some folding going on when I actually fix the headrests in place.



Next job will be testing hole sizes for the fixing 'Fir Trees'.

Until then, take care, Paul.
