Thread: Barber Chairs Refurbished

Couldn't go near that place. Couldn't afford a chair and no place to put it. Gotta love when life is simple.

Ya that would be a great place to just stop in and look around. That chair is impressive!

It was much more impressive than my crappy pic. The fellow I talked to does all the mechanical work and his partner does the leather. It was truly spectacular.

Dont care much for harleys but that is awesome looking job.

I have seen one with an upholstered Bugs Bunny sitting in it with his paws painted on the arms. Carrot and all. Was sweet!
Guys who are willing to fire up the truck and go get these can get the heavy, unwieldy things cheap.
I had 29 parts each in mine powder coated. Marine stainless hardware from the boat supply.
If they are complete, easy to do. Fun chairs.

The chair I sit in at my barbershop was installed in 1920. He replaces the leather about every 8 years. Bob says it works as smoothly as the day he started working there in June of 1964.

Mine have a patent plate from 1911. Stuff was built so heavy-duty back then, made to last forever. I always imagined they were bolted to the floor. Nope! Just extremely heavy!

My barber wants them...Bad!
