Wheelbarrow chair

[SC_BK]

Just a wee project.
I found an old wheelbarrow frame which had been dumped. I was just gonna weigh it in with the rest of the stuff but I saw it had a use

I cut off the handles, welded them to a piece of 40mm angle iron, when welded that back on the frame to make arm rests.
As the wheel was missing, the front was too low. To raise the front I cut up a log, drilled a hole in the middle, and put a long bolt through, and did it up quite tight to stop it from moving.
The rest of the wood on it is off cuts of scaffold boards.

Shove an axle and two more wheels by the rear legs and you'll have a Fred Flintstone buggy

Smashing project!

What a great idea - my barrow is up for replacement as the bottom's rusted oot. Might try this idea meself.

 

[Fazed]

Bloody brilliant that!

Great job, will always come in handy for the missus to wheel you home from the pub!!!

Not a bad job, just one thing missing , does it come with a 'Wife' to propel it?
Great use of materials and it looks comfy, does it come with a flagon of cider as well as a propulsion system?

Nope doesn't come with a wife, still trying to find one for myself, nevermind to hand out to other people

And as for a flagon of cider? Well I have a years supply of lidl's finest cider stashed away in the shed, bought about 50l when it was on offer

Your chair

I like it alot! Very clever.

 

[Fazed]

Quick suggestion... it would be even more bloody brilliant-er if the 'arms' flipped 180 degrees backwards and became 'handles' again, so you could actually wheel it about like a barrow.

Great job - very original. Made me laugh

Well unfortunatly a few days after completeing the chair, a mate bought it!

Managed to get hold of an old wheelbarrow with a knackered bucket and large puncture, so I made a start on mk2 chair today.

The frame is a different style and I had different scrap lying about so the design isn't the same


In primer:

This design should be a lot harder to tip over sideways when the user is intoxicated, which was a slight problem on the mk1

Put some Ski's & a four point harness on it to make it an all weather craft on land sea or air.

 

[SC_BK]

Metal painted, wood stained & bolted on, mk2 chair is finished

 

[badersbus]

Very cool ; love the reclined seating position

The ski's man ....the ski's.. Brill for a downhill grass racer

Well the chair got a good bit of use at the weekend

It even works underwater!

Although the drinks holder wasn't much use
