yeah, i took my kids to a water park on saturday and got fried so i was pretty useless yesterday. it is painful! my whole back is burnt.

take into consideration that i am doing little projects like this to teach myself how to weld so that when i begin to do my truck it doesn't fall apart on me while driving. that would be bad. Sad

so this is what i have done so far...

hhahahahahahahahaha i was trying to figure out what that was exactly, thanks for pointing that out Laughing

Subject: Re: building a pneumatic stool Mon Aug 13, 2007 11:46 pm

i thought it was a whoopie cushion... Smile

Subject: Re: building a pneumatic stool Mon Aug 13, 2007 11:47 pm

the square tubing is 1x1 3/16 thick and the sheet is just 16 gauge sheetmetal. i made it so big because when i build the upper frame the seat has to mount to it and i didn't want the upper mount big and bulky with a tiny bottom mount. it would probably fall over. i should be done with it this week. i didn't do crap tonight. hopefully i won't be to lazy tomorrow night.
