[QUOTE="JimmyJumpy"] Wow... very nice :) Forget about the scrapyard... even with shipping costs these come at an interesting price... Next thing to do would be to seek out a such a tubular fitness thing, second-hand, and adapt the frame, or buy some tubing and find a friend who works as a plumber (or a plumber, short stop) to ply the tubing into shape...JimmyJumpy
You know the stuff sign posts are made out of? The rectangular prism metal piping with all the holes drilled into it?
I believe it's entirely possible to find that stuff at hardware stores, and for a good price. You could easily bolt pieces of that together into a very sturdy frame, and it'd be easy to take apart as well.
That's what I'm going to try to do.
BTW that chair link is fantastic. I would have never even guessed to search for chairs that way. My only problem is mounting a chair onto some sliders that'd allow the seat to be adjusted depending on who's sitting in the seat (kinda like how an actual car seat functions).
I need to look into that.
Well, since car seats are sitting on sliders a lot of the time, just look in that direction. You might have to bolt the sliders to the floor, if that's possible, but when it works in a car it should work at home ;)
*EDIT*
When having highly expensive laminated floor, set the steering wheel on sliders/adjustable frame, so it can be adapted to the person sitting in the chair...
No, I'm definitely not bolting them to a floor.
Plus if I'm not stripping a seat out of a car then I doubt the bottom of the chair I may get will have anything comparable to what a car has. I don't know what I'll have to buy to get it to slide.
