Bomber seat
Hello together,
after reading in this forum for quite a while without contributing a lot, I now want to share the build of my aluminum bomber style seat with you. In the past 1 or 2 years I was getting more and more fascinated by the metalshaping skills of many people I have seen in the internet and started to read an re-read books, watch videos and suck in as much information about the topic as possible. As we all know the best way to learn something is to do it so I looked for a project which would teach me how to form metal by hand and with the help of some basic machines but still be something that can be used afterwards. On youtube I saw a video by Ron Covell in which he makes a aluminum bomber seat. I loved the look oft he seat so much that I wanted to give it a try by myself. After countless hours of work and making some mistakes on my way I am now finished with the seat. Itīs by far rougher than the seat by Mr. Covell but I am happy with the result anyway. Bye, Tobi 1.JPG 2.JPG 3b.JPG 4.JPG 5a.JPG 5b.JPG 6.JPG 9.JPG 10.JPG 11.JPG 12.JPG 13.JPG 14.JPG 15.JPG 16.JPG 17.JPG 18.JPG

Great job. Great result.
He recently I tested the 1mm steel sheet seat. You could make it in one piece. DSC00106.jpg DSC001081.jpg DSC001101.jpg

Very nice work! They would look right at home in a very light car or a Bomber. I'd like to make a set for my Okrassa powered Beetle in the future.
PS: I really like your dining room chairs!

Great job on your Bomber Seat! I'm amazed at the close spacing you were able to get the belled holes. The Mittler Brothers dies I use have a 1/4-inch (6.25mm) flat around the edges.
Can you post pictures of your belling dies? Ron Covell |

Top job Tobi. Please don't read any more books as you will put the rest of us to shame!
