It's hard work getting the upholstery tacks out of the underside of the seat , they are pretty much flush with the wood and require a bit of effort . I had to take my oodie off!!
Get a flat pry from bunnings. You will definitely appreciate
I have and have a special pliers too. I've taken out about 150 tacks .
At the point where you vaguely pretend you're shoeing a horse yet?
It's really hard dense wood, not sure what it is
and I just realised why most upholsterers are men, it's hard physical labour requiring a lot pf strength and stamina in your hands. n/k
