Made myself a wheelchair

[oily]

I've been wanting to to do this since I got the chair.
3/4" luan and the casters where a buck ninety nine at Ernie's tools and flea market. It's not attached so I can use it with other stools or use it for a mobile base.
I use luan for alot of different projects. I get it from Lowes and I always poke through the pile for the red sheets. It has a really nice grain pattern, I gave it a quick shot of clear to show the grain a little better.
It looks very nice when finished.

That really looks great Oily. Will be a very good work chair

Looks good Rob.....just make sure that chair doesn't slide out from under you butt when you set down..

Oily BE VERY CAREFULL when you push backwards that there is nothing under the wheels or you will fall backwards. All of our 4 wheel stools have been banned at work because of this.

Nice job Oily, but I am with them, please be careful rolling around the place.

I think it needs a speedometer.....

Thanks guys, It's not really intended for traveling. I have my cutting area set up like a three sided cubicle. Saw center, Drill press, blades etc left and work table right. The area is just big enough if you change location for any length of time I had to drag the chair and it got to be more of a problem as my hip degenerates.

Save up for one of those Hoveround's

I've noticed you have to turn up the vacuum a little.

I'm so slow all you have to do is drive a stake and measure.

Oily,
I have a chair similar to that with the wheels attached to it. I sweep around my work place a couple times a day. All it takes is a small piece of wood and you fall over backwards, or some way. But it is handy as I have a small work table beside my saw.

I don't know Oily, most of your creations are absolutely fantastic, but this one has me concerned.
