Sofa from DFS ? (danny`s flocked sofas)

Sofa build.

I started off by using an old cupboard (chip board) I fist marked a wood

bottom piece x 2 - 10" x 5"

side pieces x 2 - 5" x 4.5"

back piece - 10" x 4"

after cutting all the pieces, I then glued it together using no nails and held it all in place using a series of clamp. I left it 24 hrs before removing the clamps.

Note - before attaching the clamps, remember to slightly angle the back piece.





Once it had its basic shape, I covered the whole sofa with a padding. A very thin and flexible foam. The same effect could be done by using bubble wrap.





The covering was done by stapling a covering of material, stretching it across the sofa. A better effect than mine could be achieved by using just one piece of material.

Bally hell Dal , You've got on with this since I was last able to get on properly.
Great work mucker !! Top job & really nice uploads.

thanks Ade !! getting close to finishing now. I have just a few small jobs to complete before the big reveal

YAY your getting close to finishing your 1/6 room Dal

That is superb!!! I wish i had the skill and patience to pull one of those off!

"Anything can happen in the next half hour!" I'm looking forward to seeing this beaut being used in future comic strips
Nice work, Dal, very nice work!

No probs mate thats a great job youve done there, I like what youve done with the paneling on the walls and floor, also the view from the windows is very clever its good to see these jobs as they progress, it's something else that I would like to have a go at but I've given myself a few too many projects at the moment so have a lot up in the air, and a lot of unfinished bits will have to get my finger out

, I know that feeling mate! I have about 6 projects on the go, and no time to do any of them! Still a little bit at a time works wonders

yes mate less haste more speed or is it less speed more haste

As promised, a few new shots. Like all things I do, I have been tinkering with his ever since I made it. For any of you guys that are familiar with my comics, you will recognize it from there










Since doing these photos I have noticed that the desk I build is going to need some repair work , yet another project to add to the list

Thanks for looking!
