Gearhead boredom!
So this morning I was out in the shop, waiting for a friend to come over so I could weld up the exhaust on his truck, and I got to looking at an old office chair I had out there, and an old blazer seat....
 Well I broke out the Millermatic 212...  some box tubing and fifteen minutes later I had a pretty cool chair on my hands! This got me to thinking, What all have you done when you got bored?

Re: Gearhead boredom!
I am looking to do something similar with some 67-72 bucket seats I have. I want to make barstools out of them for when I finish my basement. Just need some time and money to finish.
By the way, pretty cool chair. Jason |

Re: Gearhead boredom!
There are wheels on it so you should put a seat belt on it.
