Aw, I thought this thread was something to do with 'Fifty Sheds Of Grey', which I really must buy, as what I've seen of it so far is hysterical.
Yes, flat, covering chairs, really exciting, enjoy. Good use of a shed.

did you see the chair covering element of the show? I kept the reference quite cryptic for good reason!

I had never heard of this man, so I had to google. Did he make a tractor seat into a chair?

Ah, so there's more to chair covering than one would expect? Chair covering has its naughty side? That's an unexpected turn of events. Is it the 'Graphic images of animal culling and dissection' that 4oD is warning me about, or should I be looking deeper in to this?

yes, and yes!
He did make a chair from old tractor parts - and yes he covered it with skin from a deer that he shot and cut up!
I ma not usually one for TV warnings, but this one is deserved!

And he seemed such a nice man. Fancy making a chair from old tractor parts.
(I'm not much impressed with the deer situation either, and I imagine the deer was even less so.)

It's becoming rather fashionable to show people slaughtering and hacking up animals on TV these days. While I understand our position in the food chain, I can't see the justification for running amok in the countryside armed to the teeth just to prove what poncey taste you have in interior decor. What's wrong with stretch covers from Roseby's?
Kevin McCloud is obviously not content with just laying waste to the architectural landscape of Britain by encouraging yuppie couples with more money than intelligence to ruin perfectly lovely old houses -
"..well, we could have had it roofed by a professional, but we thought it'd be more authentic if we taught ourselves how to quarry our own slate. It cost us an extra £100,000, but we have the satisfaction of knowing we did it all ourselves.."
I'll shut up now..

He sounds like the less-chintzy British equivalent of Martha Stewart. "And now ladies, I'll show you how to make snow tires from the rubber trees I grew in my very own backyard."

That's a "good" thing! So easy you can harvest the rubber and put monogrammed treads into the tires within the hour, and still have time in the afternoon to make a gingerbread castle for the supper table's centrepiece ;D  ;D |
