Comfortable Mechanics/shop stool

[londonsteve]

Hi I am constantly in awe at your guys ingenuity and skills!!. I thought I would add my small effort, after using store bought shop stools and finding even the best makes not very mobile or sturdy (I'm a big guy) I decided to make a comfortable easy moving strong one made to last. First the seat, luckily my friend had a great old saddle of we think a mid 60's Electra glide then I used some 3x1" box steel and some 1" and 2" steel also had three double castor wheels and after a couple of hours messing around, Hey presto my super comfortable easy glide stool.

That's cool. Now all you need is a Hottie to keep the seat warm.

Nice stool, it looks like the right height to be able to roll around the shop to work on things.
