Chuck writes - "Rather than pay $30 or more for a flimsy rolling chair from a retailer, we attached an old tractor seat to the remains of a broken office chair to make a great rolling shop chair. The pneumatic lift is handy for sitting at different heights for different projects, and the tractor seat's big enough to actually hold you. Best of all most Makers will either have these parts lying around or know where to get them for pretty much nothing. We welded it together, but you could do the same thing with wood." - Link.
