Wanna make a scope? Or better still, grind a mirror yourself. Or, you have some good tips in making a really useful accessory? This is the place to show what your hands can do...

Have a nice day.

Mi Mickath, Very nice design. Did you come up with the design yourself ? Any thoughts on making it more portable by say folding in the back leg and maybe the seat ?

Hi Kohjb,

Actually my design is a collection of ideas from the internet plus my own
ideas. The holding bolt idea is my original idea. So far (touch wood ) I have not seen anyone out there has used this idea. :wink:

Hi Kohjb

Actually the shorter leg can be folded behind for storage purpose.
I am now thinking of modifying the seat strut to be folded as well.

Thanks

Regards

Mickath.

Hi MicKath,

Oic. But I guess that's accomplished by taking off the bolts on the horizontal strut ?

How heavy is your chair by the way ?

kingKong,

No problem, as long as you do not make mass produce and make business out of it.

Thanks

Mickath
