5th Seat............VW Office Chair 2.0

[culprit]

Had a few hours on my hands the other evening.....what is it that is said about idle hands?!

I needed a new office chair.......I had the 5th seat out of the Cali sat taking up space....BOOM!

1m of aluminium angle cut into 500mm lengths later we we have the first VW Office chair, this is though version 2.0......version 1 was made completely from wood with castors not up to the job, this ended badly, v e r y badly.....let's just say v1 was 'proof of concept'



The castors are B&Q non marking 50mm....£36 for the four, the angle forms a perfect lip against the 2x4 so no lateral movement and some liberal use of HD cable ties prevent fore and aft shifting. When I need it for the van I just wheel it out, cut the ties and load it up

The handy thing is that if a work conference call gets a little hairy or I take an impromptu call from the Mrs mid way through the day, I can just put the seatbelt on and ride out the storm.


Happy Friday People

Good use of tie wraps.

Both my front mudflaps and my rear bumper are held on with them, but this tops both those.

Awsome - I don't need another Office Chair - but I am still going to do this

When you start marketing this to the world remeber that it also doubles as an Office table when folded up :cool

I think you need to create a "How To" for the VIP section

Thinking some kind of motor could be fitted in that base, space for liberated leisure batteries to power the motor and you could be mobile about the place.

Great idea though I could see it being great for using the chair and making a conversation piece rather than a lump taking space, when unused, in the garage.

This could go too far :laugh2

Off to the garage to start on v2.1

Will start formulating a solution design document based on feedback - I wouldn't dream of simply emptying spare parts bins and hacking away with grinders, hammers and drills
