Shop Chair

[sundog]

Anyone have a preference for a roll around, adjustable shop chair (not a desk chair) to use at the loading bench? Mine needs replacing, and I want one that is functional and comfortable. I spend a lot of time on my kiester at the bench, doncha know.

Back when I was still working, the offices used to move around a lot and a lot of good stuff was tossed. I retrieved a 5 leg desk chair from the dumpster, took the seat apart from the base, and welded about an 8" piece of 1-1/4 pipe onto the seat bottom and put it back together. Works good on my 36" high reloading bench, can move forward and back, side to side, etc. as needed. Emery

You might want something like a drafting chair

I went to Staples and got a "drafting chair" similar to the one that Wills shows. I'm happy...

I also have a couple of the drafting types chairs.My wife got them slightly used from work. Work great.

Wills pic is about what I have now. It's worn out and needs replacing. Looking for a good brand name. Years ago I just used a stool, but after I got the one I've worn out, the replacement will be as good or better!

I use a drafting chair of unknown vintage. No wheels, but still nice. My father in law was trying to yardsale it and couldn't get rid of it so I asked how much. Free it was. I had to re upholster it, but no big deal.

For work I'm in a chair about 10-12 hours a day and I have to say that I've been pretty happy with one I bought last year at Staples . .it's entirely "mesh". (but looks similiar to the one's posted above) The only knock on it that I can come up with is that if you have a "thick" wallet it doesn't feel comfortable sitting on it. (takes a bit of getting used to) On the positive side, all the old cloth chairs I had got really hot in the middle of the summer. (I'm a cheap bastard and don't want to run the a/c unless it's absolutely necessary) With this chair you have airflow to your backside and back so it seems alot more comfortable.

Have a good one,

Being a retired telephone man, I happened upon an old operator chair that was used on the old cord boards. It must be 40 years old, but the fabric is still good. Had to re-weld the seat frame from many years of swivel abuse. Been using it over 15 years now.

Cord boards were still in use 40 years ago? I've seen 1 in my time which was being used by Uncle Sam in Viet Nam. When I went to work for Bell we had Crossbar & Step offices around here.

I use the portable secretaries style chair. Guess it would be a desk chair with casters, pivots, rolls works very well for me. Will also set off a primer if you should loose one on the floor and roll over it, but it only startles you for a minute and then the wife is there to see what the he!! you are blowing up.

Rick,

We actually had a 3-CL cord board installed in Macon ,GA in 1976 to handle the end offices (mostly independents) who were'nt able to switch to the TSPS or 4A switch.

Well I wish my thick wallet was caused by cash . . .heck, I've got an NRA Card, a FOID card, the wife's credit card, my credit card, and insurance card (car), and insurance card (health), etc etc etc.

Have a good one,

If there is a Habitat for Humanity store in your area, check there for chairs. Our local store gets them in pretty regularly. I paid $5 for my like new condition reloading chair from there.
