I had some free time during lunch yesterday and decided I'd try my hand at fabbing a seat pan. I found an old steel sign in one of the piles of junk that I miked out to be 16ga. After coming up with a suitable template, I traced it out on the sign and cut it out with some electric sheet metal shears. I then hammered out the shape I wanted...it only took about an hour and here's what I got.
Now, I'll tack on a hinge up front, weld some bracing in on the underside, get some springs for the rear and have it covered...I'm thinking calf skin...any ideas?

yes! now drill 360 degree holes on the edge of your seat so you can sew it with leather or whatever you want..
1 cm between each hole.! ;)
