Crutches and bike parts make a stool

zieak ♦ November 12, 2007 ♦ 3 Comments

Well, i finished my crutch/bike part stool today. The “upholstery” ended up being done with a piece of foam, a thin piece of plywood and a few inner tubes stretched across the top. I wanted it to be suitable for outside and to maximize recycled materials. I spent about $8 making this and perhaps 4 hours of time. In hindsight i would have made it 4 legged – the three is stable when you’re on it but hopping on and off it is prone to tipping when set at the higher leg heights. Yes! It’s adjustable! As usual, the full instructions are on Instructables – this time for the Mash-Up contest. My entry is way earlier than usual for me – the contest ends on the 25th of November but we’ll be gone. I hope to figure out one more entry to write up for the contest with a $13,000 laser engraver/cutter as a prize. Time is quickly passing for that one which also closes while we’re on our trip. I expect this project to generate some interest!
