Looks more comfy than most of the office or ergonomics chairs out there
I use it everyday. It's really nice. 👍🏼
I was thinking welding a steel frame for making my own then i saw your video, i love how simply, fast and effective you did it, just a piece of plywood and 8 holes ! thanks, i'll go this way too.
Awesome video, I have some industrial casters and found those to be a lot more stable than PC chair cylinder bases.
I currently have them on a lounge chair that I'm using as a PC chair, but they'll be making their way into a build like this soon.
Awesome 👍🏼
Great video. Super idea to re-use something. Look super comfy. Look forward to more. Be safe and stay well.
Thanks! It really is a comfy chair. My back is super trashed so this chair has helped a lot. 👍🏼
Great video !!!! I am thinking of doing this with a Peterbilt 18 wheeler seat. Thanks
That will be pretty awesome. Are you going to rig up air management to get the seats air ride working too?
@@HFG Depends on how the seat is designed......with a desk chair......once I have it set to the correct height.....there is no need to change it. I have seen on youtube several videos of car seats where they connected electricity to it for the controls to work......air is a whole different thing....would need air compressor...or if I can just use a hand pump to set the height once....and then cap the line off to keep the setting.
@@buynsell365 that sounds pretty awesome 👍🏼
Great idea! I will build my own next time thanks for the video idea! 💡
👊🏼👊🏼
truck seats are the best for modern simulator gaming
That's cool.
Looking at a pair of astro van seats 1 fir an office chair and the other for sim racing. I appreciate the plywood adapter plate, much more accessible for people that don't have a welder.
Right on 👍🏼
@@HFGcame back to say I replicated this with blue Astro conversion van seats and used the spade bit comment advice with some 3/4 inch pressure treated plywood and it came out perfect. Small learning curve because I've never worked with a piece of wood in my life but had the idea to do this for years now.
Thanks for the video, certified novice friendly
@@devontoner that's awesome!! I'm glad you got a nice chair now 👊🏼👊🏼
You can also use an electricians' spade bit 12:22 to counter sink the wood for the bolts that are flush with the plywood. Just make sure the spade bit is a little wider than the nuts so they will counter sink into the wood when tightening.
Good idea 👍🏼👍🏼
I just stick my old van seats in a crate..I built a wood frame for on of em..I grab those rolling bases all the time.. I didn't think that would stay upright...there so heavy.
I guess it depends on the seat. These are rear seats that are made to come out, so maybe they aren't as heavy as front seats 🤷🏽♂️
Nice! I have a full set of Leather CRV seats gonna make a awesome lounge suite of it.
Oooh. Nice! I wish my CRV had the leather package.
great idea if you have the stuff at hand forsure
I find a lot of those old computer chairs just sitting out at the street for trash. I grab the good bases when I can 👍🏼
@@HFG have a lot of old office chairs as well but no extra seats lol
@@DriveShaftDrew I can usually find nice seats at pick-n-pull salvage yards for super cheap.
what i did as well i made one from a car seats
Heck yeah! Awesome 👍🏼
