Clean all the rust off with steel wool.

Pulled the vinyl back, it's just glued down. There's a sort of rubber grommet? edge around the metal. I'm lucky this foam is still in good shape, and doesn't smell.

The 3 parts of the back rest, the middle is just a stiff piece of paper.

Nice big corner lot on Arden Park in Detroit, but in foreclusure and a bit lost these days.

I'm making the little corner bumper things.

I stretched the fabric over the bare metal seat base and Woody promptly sat on it. You can see the topstitching in this pic.

This former fireproof warehouse in Marshalltown, IA shows its ghostly signage as well as an ad for Rude Auto Company.

The inside of the seat is a powdery mess. Notice the thin 'cottony?' cover on the sides.

I'm fireproof, you're not.

The construction of the fireproof Iowana Hotel was financed by a group of local businessmen. The hotel was opened in 1920. Business at the hotel began to decline in the late 1950s. The investment company sold the building in 1971. The hotel continued in operation under various owners into the 1980s. By the early 2000s the building was vacant and boarded-up. Later, it was transformed into an apartment building. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic.

Sky on fire :)

A plastic shim is perfect to scrape the contoured bottom.

Concrete construction, and fireproof construction materials were used.

In 1915, Dr. Roy Lanterman commissioned architect A. L. Haley to design a fireproof bungalow of reinforced concrete for his family and the result was a unique architectural treasure.

 

The house was made up of reinforced concrete in part because of the high risk of fire danger from the native chaparral surrounding the property but also because Dr. Lanterman’s relief role after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake made him particularly fire-conscious.

 

There are many arts and crafts elements in the Lanterman house. It retains its exquisite original interiors and furnishings, including elaborate hand-painted wall and ceiling ornamentation.

 

The entire second floor is devoted to a grand ballroom, and the interior retains its original craftsman furnishings.

It seems like they only really used glue on the edges? I had to soak and scrub the whole seat pan to get it clean.

This screw keeps the center shaft from pulling out of the base.

The aluminum back plate was supposed to be screwed to the padded front through here. Mine came without the 4 screws.

 

I found aluminum screws at HD, they're #6-32 machine screws. The shortest I found were 1/2", and they're a tad too long, will probably end up ordering some 3/8" and 1/4"

fact of the day:

The bark of an older redwood tree is fireproof.

COMMENT :D

Safe I picked up today, literally, ouch. Its a sentry safe but you will not find any videos of this one on youtube being thrown up against a CMU wall. I'd guess its a stout 250 pounds, and the lady who I picked it up from said that it is at least 50 years old. Gotta love craigslist .

Inside, view of the front curve stitching.

The painted vinyl seat cover, so stiff it stands up by itself.

 

The cover is three parts, two sides joined in the back, and the top.

Beautiful flowers in my back garden :)

BIG MOUTH: contemporary feminist voices in art and illustration

 

OPENING AUGUST 9 @ BROOKLYN FIREPROOF

 

a group show featuring

Suzy Exposito / Molly Fair / Kim Funk / Kathleen Hanna

J. Morrison / Adee Roberson / Gabby Schulz

 

Curated by Kate Wadkins + Lauren Denitzio, BIG MOUTH: contemporary voices in feminist art + illustration is a platform for unpopular visual opinions. Feminist movements have historically grown out of interventions within radical communities in the face of silence, anger, and often, violence. Still, these conflicts and contentions are fought with the utmost passion and humor in hopes for a radical resolution. BIG MOUTH illustrates the ever-evolving search for feminist/queer identities and communities. This group show places feminist narratives at the center of radical art-making, where often our voices are poorly represented or left out altogether. BIG MOUTH is a celebration of our pluralism, our goofiness, and a proclamation of defiant love.
