Once the frame was constructed. I set out on building the seating plane out of plywood. Because of some changes i had to make to lighten the project, the amount of material had to be reduced to allow for primer, paint, clear, and screws to be added to the project.
The plywood slats were very easy to construct and prep for primering. I decided to play around with the amount of material i could take out of the timber to make it lighter; especially from the underneath side of it. However it proved a bit unsuccessful due to the amount of facilities i had on hand at home i could not do a nice enough job to make it presentational quality. So the end product was a simple curved slot where the slat will sit on top of the frame: as seen above.
Above seen is the aluminium frame with its first coat of primer. note some of the tubing was uneven due to the welding.
Here i am primering the timber slats for the last time and fixing up and chips or parts with body filler. After i primered all the slats, i had to give them a light sand back so i could paint them later on.
As described above some of the frames joins were uneven or i took too much out. How ever this problem is easily fix with some automotive body filler and some sand paper.
