Coil Spring Work

By Kevin Kennedy ,Master Upholsterer

Welcome to class two! in this class we're going to continue building Michele's Eastlake chair...
we have talked a little bit about it before, but Michelle wants more of a traditional East Lake design which is a very boxed
look. This is very different than
some of the East Lakes that I’ve seen
because they’ve got a built up frame on
the side which actually helps us a
little bit. Also what is unusual about this chair
is there were only three Springs.  Lets see how we deal with this one!
