Fastest shop stool in the world
« on: July 10, 2020, 06:57:01 PM »
I got this tire from a customers house that was in the attic. It is a donut spare from some high performance car. The previous owner said he did not want it so I took it thinking I would find a use or at least scrap it for the aluminum. It is almost 1" thick. Made in Holland. Northern put the stools on sale so ah ha moment. I took off the seat cushion and drilled some holes and carriage bolts and viola, got me a speedster. Gentlemen grab your wrenches 8)





Fits under my desk nicely



Really quite comfortable.

Is it top heavy?  I've had a HF stool fire right out from under me when I bend to reach something at a distance, without the larger diameter seat.  Looks cool!

Cool stool fastest not even in the race. There are 500HP bar/shop stool go carts. Heck a buddy of mine has one powered by a 3.5HP Briggs that will do 40mph

Ha, mine looks fast not even moving.  It is not top heavy and dished out part sits down over the plywood piece.
