Project description

Unfortunately the steel base of the chair broke away while the client was sitting on it. Relatively simple repair.
Grind out old welds.
Straighten the chair leg to correct the orientation as best as possible, without causing any further damage.
Tack weld the base, then reattach to the chair to check for level.
Disassemble the base and weld using single-pass MIG welds using ER70S-6 wire.
Grind back welds where required, and paint affected areas with matt black
Reassemble and test.
