Gearhead boredom! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

MrBeast · 12-21-2008, 01:35 PM

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?

Sweet chair!

When I am bored I break out my chainsaw and cut down a tree.

jay_shy · 12-21-2008, 02:22 PM

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.

There are wheels on it so you should put a seat belt on it.
