To bend the mesh around the frame, I used a mallet and clamp so that
the mesh would hug and be easy to weld through
This was an evaluation before welding the pieces together. The back leg arches up as the seat frame and is angled so that the user sinks into the chair comfortably.
This is the piece after it was welded together
The parts conveyed in the drawings, strewn across the floor, ready to be welded.
The final product pieced together
Minor clean-up details
The biggest contributor to the form of my final design is the tube bending tool. The Radi seen in the back legs, arm rest and back seat are the minimal yield that the tool can create which had great impact on my design. It has deviated from a straight angled concept, to a wavy, curved form taking away from the aggressive edge that was in my originial concept.
