Re: the project begins! assembly!
Looks great! The second to last picture looks like you have a very expensive wheelbarrow in the garden. :D
Can I get a pic of the underside of the seat. I need to re-cover mine and I want to see how you have it stapled. You did a good job, no seams or wrinkles visible from the top.

Re: the project begins! assembly!
Very impressed so far Sean with what you've got done, to be fair it puts what I had done to shame lol. Are you keeping the standard colours or got something else in mine?
