Step One: Choosing Armchairs
First you had to pick up a good used car seat. His master was found at the autodismantling. The chair was on the Volkswagen Golf 2015 release and the master went for $ 100. The chair is height-adjustable and extends forward / backward. It changes the angle of the backrest, and even installed side airbags.
It will install a car seat at the base of the old office chair, with a slight upgrade.
Step Two: Preparing to Build
If you install a car seat on the office platform, then its seat will be greatly raised from the floor. Then the master parses and cuts the pneumatic cylinder and sleeve, about 15 cm each.
Attention, the following operation must be carried out carefully. To fully understand the process, it is recommended that you watch the video.
Drills a small 2 mm hole at the top of the cylinder to release gas. Gas is under pressure and must be drilled carefully, be sure to wear safety glasses.
When the gas has come out, you need to pump the cylinder several times.
Then the master USHMkoy cuts off the cylinder and sleeve.
To fix the cylinder to the legs, the master made an aluminum plug. In the center of the plug, I drilled a hole for a threaded rod.
Installed a cylinder with a platform on the legs.
The slide on the car seat protrudes strongly, and the master cuts off 10 centimeters.
Step Three: Bracket
To fix the car seat to the platform, the master makes a bracket from a profile pipe.
Step Four: Build
All parts are ready and the master fixes the chair.
After assembly, it turned out that the lever with which they adjust the forward / backward position is too long and the master shortens it.
All is ready. The master likes that this chair has many adjusting modes. The chair is great for working at a computer. He also has a drawer in front and a pocket in the back for storing things.
The master decided to leave the seat belt lock for installation in the future fasteners for beer.
