Third Class

Hi!  Sorry for the late posting.  This class was all about springs.  It turns out the spring heights are generally the same, it is the diameter of the wire that varies, creating more or less compression.  The following photos show the stages of string tying; it is quite complicated.  After initial tying is complete, I stuffed some cotton below the last round of each spring so that when you sit on the seat, the springs don't hit the webbing which sounds like a drum each time.  Then, they are covered with burlap.

Initial ties and cotton.

Tying is complete.
