Milk crates
DubbyDo - July 28th, 2012 at 02:28 AM
Apologies in advance if this is common knowledge but Bugger me if an upturned plastic milk crate is not the perfect height to sit on while swinging
spanners under a Beetle engine lid
Was just bustin my already rooted knees replacing the manifold boots on my 1600tp and tried sitting on one, Perfect. Now all it needs is some
wheels

Get an old office chair, take the back off it and set the seat at it's lowest setting, ideal and has a padded seat and wheels

Sure are i've got 4 in the shed

Only 4......I just hope the milk-man NEVER looks in my shed.

They are a bugger on the lawn though & get bogged easily!

You need to get caster wheels with all terrain tyres then

A drop of castor oil may help.

I've had these for years now, but only because the backs were breaking off our computer chairs! Put them down in the shed and found them to be very
handy.

a little bit off topic, but in my old place in Sydney i had a whole cellar wall filled with milk creats on their side , cable tied together, and
bracketed to the wall ....... best wine rack EVER.... and it only cost about $10.

I did see a big milk crate robot hanging of an apartment building near Flemington race course in melbourne.
I was told this was a world wide thing???.
Any body know???

Drink the castor oil and you won't have to worry about the chair?

My bum was numb from the crate but the stool just made it hurt

But castor oil may soften the stools!

Your original idea is the best - a milk crate.....but it needs to be casterated.

Definitely has to be casterated......bumpy enough to sit on as they are

get some caster wheels from a hardware shop and bolt them to some falcadore seats and then you got the perfect work shop low rider seats for doing
jobs like that
grumble - August 1st, 2012 at 07:44 PM
My seat got bogged in the back yard and Big Ted had to tow it out,it wasn't casterated.
