tractor seat

Post by brockadeau »

Hi--Once again I am trying to carve a wooden seat some call a shovel seat, some call a tractor seat. They would be approx 17" x 17" x 2" thick. I am attaching a photo of something very similar. Can anyone help me produce a 3d entity to carve? thanks. Jack

There have been designs like that posted on the forum a few times. I'm just about to go out so I don't have time to look but I'm sure a forum search on terms like stool seat, scooped etc will find them.

Using the fluting toolpath:
Note that the vectors overlap at the middle so the ridge is not as high as the surrounding area.

Here is one I have made this morning. It just needs a little more work on the raised area in front and it will be complete.

Interesting examples...

Here are 2 actual tractor seats that I scanned for posterity. One is a J.I. Case and the pitted basket one is an early McCormick.

I like those last ones that allow for ventilation and unintended gas releases.
