The frame for the final prototype was made using 50mm stainless steel pipes with a 1mm wall thickness. I was lucky enough to have a friend's dad who has a steel fabricating workshop (Bayswater Steel Fabrication) and I was able to use his advice, tools and expertise. Working in his workshop was probably a ten times better than the workshop at Swinburne because there was no one waiting for me to do something wrong.
The seat and backrest were made using Oregon. These were made by me with some help from Andrew and Nathan from the workshop.
