Cheap alum obs chair
Hi all-
FYI-if anyone else is interested in a rainy day project?
While waiting for my new scope,I made a nice and light alum observation chair.The designs were copied from the other home made jobbies posted on the net.
Bunnings has the correct length alum square tube availible(minimal cutting is reqiured) and the fasteners etc,but the tread grip was $29---ouch!
I had some of the other bits and pieces laying around the house,that I used.
Prolly cost $90 or so to build.
Took 8 hrs + to make(bit of trial and error--with no actual plans as a guide)
I think it will be very stable?
The seat slides up and down easy.It holds very firm when you sit on it.I have not noticed any slippage at all.From max to min extension everything is good.I weigh 70 kg.
Cheers-Eric
Heres a pic--if I can figure out how to post!!
