New Welding Stool ... Race Car insprired ;)

admin

We'll broke my old store bought stool and decide to make a new one. Yes the coil over is functional so I can bring it up and down. And then just powder coated it with colors that I had laying around from other jobs. Attached Images

Reply:looks comfy
Reply:Thanks for the compliments. And yes the extra bounce makes it comfy. Just a few notes, the springs is a 350# spring, and the shocks were old Koni Yellow shocks that were already blown.I already have an order to make 2 more for another company. There's a couple small little things that I'll be changing out with the other design, this one was made with pretty much scrap laying around so I had to compromise on a couple of things.

Reply:That. Is. Cool!I've been wanting to build a custom stool for my shop lately.  I'll be going with more of an aeroplane design, since that is what I do, but yours is splendid.I agree with adding other car items...how about semi-swivel feet with upside down pistons attached to the ends of the three legs?  How about welding a metal tab on the back support tubes, so you can attach the logo from your favorite car?  How about upholstering it with white and black checkered material?Very cool design.  I like that it used parts you had lying around and that is says something about what your shop does.KevKevin / Machine_Punk from The Aerodrome Studio - Lincoln PowerMIG 210 MP - Meco N Midget w/custom welding station - Vintage Victor 100Current Projects: The Aerodrome Studio

Reply:Just build some sort of clamp-on footrest (which would make it adjustable).KevKevin / Machine_Punk from The Aerodrome Studio - Lincoln PowerMIG 210 MP - Meco N Midget w/custom welding station - Vintage Victor 100Current Projects: The Aerodrome Studio
