Mission Complete

Here is the finished product, its only been oh 6 months since I decided this poor and sad chair had to be banished to the basement until its repairs could be done, however once an item reaches the depths of the basement its tough to see the light again. Which is why I use my dining room as my perpetual project room, its true what they say out of sight out of mind. Total cost to rebuild this chair, $15.49 including fabric and trim , everything. I am still waiting to get a quote from local upholsterer.That's questionable business practice to keep me waiting.
Just one rather bad glue gun burn and a few little nicks to my hands from previous staple removal. Well worth it .

A piece of Masonite cut to size, and screwed to the frame, adds stability and a solid base.
My second work station the living room coffee table, much easier on the knees.
