Restaurant/Diner equipment auction?

These if you have any spare tractors around. Or......... you could turn a wooden seat if you have a router and a tether. Should be able to do most of those bends with a conduit bender.

Also watch out on garbage day, lots of metal stools thrown out around here.

I took some of those foot rests off some wooden stools thrown out, to re-use as a wheel on my beader.....

The wife bought me a Cman stool a few years back, it's holding up well in the garage.

I use one made from scrap 1/2" gas pipe with a plywood top covered with carpet, throw on a boat cushion sometimes for extra comfort

A restaurant supply place should have them. Mine was $35, I think. Chrome and a black vinyl top.

I was searching about 2 minutes ago for a design I saw months ago, a just added it to my favorites about 1 minute before seeing your post. This guy made the neatest one I've seen, I'm steeling his idea. Post #3?

Those things aren't cheap anymore. Sams Club and Walmart have shop stools for about $50. I've also seen them at auto supply stores.

I went with the Sears version with the back as well. If you watch for them on sale you can get them down around $40. They have held up well. It wasn't worth the hassle of hitting garage sales or trying to build for that price.

I have one of these and two of the high back Craftsman models. Northern runs sales once in a while on these:

Nice swivel and comfy too.

I'm using Craftsman Stools, they put them on sale often.

Jack Olsen:

I like your garage a lot. I have often wondered why you mounted all of your vises incorrectly.

Jack, it looks like a vise to me! I got a couple of stools from a bar that was getting new ones, they gave them to me for free. I had 8, now I'm down to 2. Sorry, no pics at this time.

 

[eriksalo]

I've been most happy with my stainless stool with adjustable height.

 

[Jack Olsen]

Not sure why my picture of my bar stool is now a close-up of one of my vises.

 

[Andybull]

A vise should be installed whenever possible at the corner of a work bench, this way the operator is able able to rotate it and still turn the handle.

 

[Perrorojo]

Dental stools work great. The are usually stainless bases with good wheels, adjustable and padded. I grabbed some older ones at a sale and they're pretty nice.

You can't see the post that was deleted from a spammer trying to sell his wares.

 

[Miss the Pontiacs]

Valid topic all the same. 6 years ago I didn’t try to locate a stool as quickly as I might today.
I did find some newly pressed metal tractor seats that I would like bases for mounting.

 

[Lucky13driver]

I have 2 of these that were hand me downs from Mrs. Lucky13driver all welded together swivel seat cushions and heavy wall tubing extremely comfortable too.

 

[dreamingmuscle]

If you plan on using it alot dont get this one, looks good, sits horrible.
Good to have around for guest that you don't want to stay to long though. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/tractor-supply-cast-iron-tractor-seat?cm_vc=-10005

 

[alwaysFlOoReD]

I wish I could find a pic but I'll try to describe it. Using a tube bender. It was one continuous tube about 1.75" in diameter. Starting at the floor, using a CLR of ~6", north 12", rt turn east 12", rt turn south 12", up 18", rt turn west 12", rt turn north 12", rt turn east 12", up 18", rt turn south 12", rt turn west 12 ", finally rt turn north 12". Probably topped with plywood covered with foam and faux leather.

 

[NORTON'S SHOP]

Google steampunk bar stools. If you're into that sort of thing, some of them are pretty neat. Definitely will cost a whole lot more than a surplus stool unless you have a bunch of pipe and fittings laying around.

Got my GF to pick me up a pair while they were on sale, when I was out of town once......hate those things so much I sold them off two for the price of one. Strain on my back is less with standing up!

Now for beer sessions there’s a computer chair that I move around as I see fit, and there’s lawn chairs from the deck to use.
