The author of Instructables under the nickname shazni made these stools for the schoolyard from tuk-tuk tires:
But fit and close in diameter tires, for example, from a moped. In the local tire fitting, the master was presented with 24 worn tires, 15 of which are shown below:
The master carefully washed them - not only hygienic qualities depend on this homemade, but also the bonding strength of two-component epoxy adhesive:
Like this:
Having glued the tires in three, the master waits from 24 to 48 hours, then asks the children to try to break the resulting structures. Those do not succeed. Then he cuts a rectangle out of leatherette, making a margin of 25 mm in diameter and 150 mm in height, and wraps the stool base with the wrong side out. He also cuts a circle with a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the tire.
Strongly pulls and fastens with pins:
It removes the resulting cylinder in this form, folds and slightly cuts the corners as marks as shown below:
The circle folds as shown below, then it also cuts the corners slightly:
Expands and shows what happened:
Pins a circle with a cylinder, and both sides with the wrong side out:
Everything stitches and removes all pins. Since this is a stool, carefully monitors that no pins are left.
Turns the resulting cover face out, puts on a design of three tires, the circle becomes the bottom:
Turns the bottom down, and connects the top of the cover to the tire with a construction stapler. First, like this:
Then like this:
From plywood 9 mm thick cuts a circle with a diameter of 40 mm smaller than the diameter of the tire with a jigsaw. Cuts a circle from foam rubber, the diameter of which is 25 mm larger than the diameter of the plywood circle. Assembles a sandwich from them:
Covers a “sandwich” on the foam side with a faux leather, which stretches, and then connects the construction stapler with plywood on the reverse side:
Apply the same glue to the junction of the resulting seat with a stool:
It connects, loads, waits for the glue to harden (and this is another 24 hours), after which it checks whether it is holding well. Excellent!
The stool is ready, but this is not the only option for its design. There is another, with a niche for storing small things. The storage volume is small, because the tires are taken from a tuk-tuk, but the master made a lot of stools themselves.
The master puts the plywood circle on the top tire and drills four through holes. Thus, the holes in the circle and the tire coincide in location. The holes in the tire are slightly drilled with a drill of a slightly larger diameter than with vnits.
It places long screws in the holes in the plywood circle and fastens them with nuts. In fact, it is better to use washers as well, but the master instead glues screw caps for some reason.
Assembles the seat in the same way, making sure that the leatherette does not overlap the screws:
The case collects in the same way, but directly over the holes in the tire covers the eyelets. The diameter of the inner hole of each eyelet must be such that the screw passes freely.
It connects the cover with the top tire with a construction stapler in a slightly different way so that there is convenient access to the niche:
It turns out the same as in the previous case, only the seat can be installed and removed:
