Backhoe Contribution – Blanchsb – Exterior Loader Arms and Interior Chair

[Shawn Blanch]

Oh man! Getting down to the wire………

Got some good progress done on the backrest and transitional pieces that connect it all.

Also got some basic arm rests in place for reference:

The exploded animation on this is going to be 💯

@theluthier It’s late but I am as far as I can go with this submission: She’s glorious but if I had more time I would make her better. It’ll have to do. @ritag this one’s for you.

Does it have a recliner function for the back support?? It looks super comfy I could sleep on it. Great work @blanchsb , I’m impressed with your commitment to this chair, with so much detail it would be easy to settle for less, but no, not you.

@adrian2301 of course it has the recliner function. it’s the red handle lever near the backrest.

it has two sliding seat adjusters, a rump spring adjuster, a rotation lever, and a recliner lever. There was one back-pressure padding support knob that I left off but if I had more time I would add it and some of the more fine details to the upper assembly, like the arm rest recliners, and the air ride adjuster.

I’m happy with it but not satisfied as a whole. It’s a bittersweet melody she sings! But she’s beautiful all the same.

I am afraid I am not advanced as Shawn Blanch (blanchsb) with the chair.  Mine is not as complete as his. It is not rigged.

Well done, Shawn.
