Shop stool

[Travis Porter]

I have one of those short rolling Kobalt stools with the hydraulic height mechanism. I have been building a wooden shop stool for about 4 years now.:gar-Oo::eusa_whis I messed up the threaded rod the first time so I have to redo that. I kept the outer diameter of the main shaft too big so when I hand threaded it the threads got chewed up big time. I learned from that. Travis gave me a hard time tonight about how long this project has taken me. :rolf:

Oh well, I have to make a simple jig and maybe I'll get back to it.

Speaking of which have you started on it yet?

Me, I have 3 chairs. A cheapo plastic yard chair, a plain barstool, and a swiveling barstool. The plain barstool is my favorite for when I am doing bench work. The swivel sits by the computer. The plastic chair is for when the shop is shut down and I am drinking beer.:gar-Bi

So, what do you sit on in your workshop? An old kitchen chair? One of those mechanic's rolling stools? Built your own? What do you like/ dislike - wheels, back rest, seat, height?

And what tasks do you do sitting down (woodworking-wise, that is.....)

Two of these stacked.
