Show your shop chair.

[Rick B.]

I've had a few different chairs and stools over the years but can't seem to find one that's just right. They either fall apart, the wheels cease to roll and I can't find replacement with the right stem size, they're just plain uncomfortable or in the case of my present one all of the above.

I'd prefer something with adjustable height because with one artificial knee and one shot out knee I can't be sitting too low for tool long. I'd like it to have a round seat and a back rest would be nice but is optional. Oh yeah and it must roll smoothly over concrete.

So what are yooz guys using???

I'm too busy to sit.

Wow, good for you. Not the case with me though. I use the stool because I can't kneel on the concrete and I find it more comfortable and relaxing to work on my motorcycles while seated. I'm never in a hurry when I work on them and it doesn't consume all my time. Working in my garage is a hobby not a business.

I think maybe today I may remove the uncomfortable seat on my current stool and fab up a round one to see how that works out.

I guess just imagine an old, slightly broken, folding steel chair that's been used as a makeshift painting table a few time, but it was an upgrade from the plastic step stool I had been using

I'm too busy to sit .

Abbath??

 

[Rick B.]

Well, zip, zip here it is. No big deal really. Was going to buy a new stool but being the C.O.B. I am I sliced the seat off a metal bar stool I had with a bent leg and grafted it onto the roller frame. Should have done it a long time ago.

looks nice, you gonna weld on a back support?

 

[zktk01]

Nicely done, even has 5 points of contact wheels for safety.
Our office had to throw out a bunch of nice chairs recently because they only had 4 wheels some one considered them a tipping danger.

Nice work, looks great!

 

[Brian_WK]

Much fancier than mine...

No, I 'm going to just keep it round. The other seat had a back rest and it kept banging into the car.

Thanks, but there is no you win in my books.
This is my dedicated tig welding stool, and I'm pretty sure there is dozens that put mine to shame!
