Detailing seat, weekend project

[roaringmouse]

To save my knees and the seat of my pants I've been looking for a very low seat.



I want it for detailing the lower half of the car/wheels.



I tried a few things but they weren't low enough, strong enough or roll easy enough.



I gave up and decide to build one. (if required I may add padding in the future)



This works better then I'd hoped. The ball casters roll very easily and change directions smoothly.





Shopping List:



3/4" plywood

5 - 2" Ball Casters w/plate

20 - 1/4" x 1" flat head machine bolts w/nuts

20 - 1/4" lock washers



Here is the results.

Right now I don't think I'll need padding (may change my mind) and the height is perfect.

That's a pretty good idea! I've been tossing the idea around of getting carpenters knee pads...

Just make sure you hang it up or put it somewhere where you wont step on it and go flying!

That's for sure. I was originally going to paint it gray but thought it would blend into the garage floor too much. You step on it and you're in for a very nasty spill.
