So i started to unscrew everything and dismantle the drum.

After that, i took the heat gun to remove the glued foil.

A lot of scrws but that step was pretty simple

Cutting the Main Drum

I took some spruce wood and cut it to fit as seat and backrest.

When it fitted, i screwed both parts on the drum and covered thescrewholes with woodpaste

Armrests

I took a smaller drum and cut out the armrests. then i screwed the mounts again on the drum to see if it fits, now i can change the armrest to fit perfectly

I took again two pieces of spruce wood and cut out again the back rest and seatplate.

After that i glewed on some foam and cutted it until it fitted the size of the sprucewood.

I added some srews so i could fix it easily tothe main body

This step was my first time that i took faux leather for upholster

i cutted the leather and stretched and fixed it on the backside of the sprucewood with a stapler
