The Daily Chair. I have some strong canvas for the underside of the chair and today I tidy up the cover and staple the canvas. This is to protect the springs and mesh and protect the edging of the covers. Photos will follow.

And it's tiring using the staple gun, they are made for a man's hand and it's difficult to get a strong grip because I can't reach my fingers around the grip well.

I've sometimes had to use two hands to use a staple gun, some of them are really tricky to use.

Or you'll really have to get your hand right around the trigger to apply enough force.
