I was in Hamilton yesterday and was close enough to Ottawa street to go and check out the foam store in the textile district. To make a long story short I now have the majority of the foam necessary to make the seat. And I also have a line on a local vendor of hides so that I can get the necessary leather. So hopefully today I will get at making the pan. My youngest daughter is pumped, she wants to help me design and build the seat. It should be an interesting project with the help of a 9 year old. :)
