  1. So, I requested a quote from a local testing lab here in Chicago in an effort to discover the composition of the metal used in creating these chairs.  It's very important to re-create the 'bounce' and also, I'd prefer the chairs not snap in half in someone of 'size' sits in one and decides to test out the limits of the spring action.  If interested, you can follow my progress on my new site.  www.steelglider.com  

     

    There is a blog section where I'll post results of my activities.  Thanks again for all your help!

  2. Hi. My name is Colin.   I would like to fabricate some turn off the century metal chairs.  I have restored a few of these classics and would now like to replicate them.  I have attached a pic.   I assume I simply start from stock flat iron.  The chairs are designed to 'bounce' like a rocking chair.  Is this something I can take to a blacksmith or do I need to transfer the design to paper/computer?  I'd like to make several of these chairs.

     

    Any suggestions would be awesome!
