How to Build: Bucket Car Seat Office/Desk Chair 

Previously I had made one but it was way too high so I made the base with wood, and so make sure the seat rails isn't so high from where you sit, this is one of the funnest builds for any car guy like me

That last comment about the chair being more comfortable than any office chair is what I came here to hear. Thanks bud...👍

This is awesome!! I’m a college student who lives a good diy & I haven’t been able to find a cool cheap office chair anywhere in Alaska...... now I’m gonna make it!!! Thanks

I've been looking for a comfortable office chair for ages and kinda given up. So I just had this idea of using a car chair and thought I'd look it up. Thanks for the video, it's given me some ideas!

The best welding advice I received was to buy a cheap flux-core wire welder. I got all wrapped up in which one to purchase but a friend said that (since I only do small projects from time to time) an expensive welder would be a waste of money. He was correct. I bought a cheap one from harbor freight (less than 100.00) and I have used it 3 times. It's perfect.

Great idea ! Need do do something similar, because all office chair are subpar.

Damn id give you 200 for that for sure looks hella good wish i could find shit this cheap and make something out of it

Planning to use a similar integra seat

just got a free bmw seat on craigslist so I am watching a ton of videos on how to put it on my office chair legs thanks

Awesom - Il do it

Great video mate.

Cool video. I got a lot of ideas, thanx

Awesome channel thank you

wow, nice. thanks , great video . good info.

I have the front seats out of my first car still (1988 Ford Thunderbird turbo coupe) so I wanna do this to them

Yooo this is awesome!

Remember when Homer Simpson did this but he used an aircraft chair instead? Hahaha he had no idea about that ejection seat.

Great idea🎉😊😊😊

Man you got lucky on that chair, some car seats needs major modifications. I took a passenger car seat that was in excellent condition from a 94 eagle summit, and it was not a simple job. I did like you and used the base from a old office chair that I couldn't stand to sit in anymore, along with the arm rest and modified that car seat for it. Too many details to mention, but it took a lot of work and figuring out to make it not only look right but also perform like a chair should and I don't have a welder. From the base to the arm rest, to the height adjustment, it all had to be reworked to make everything fit without being entirely too high off the ground. I wanted and needed full height adjustment just like the original chair had... and what a pain in the ass to get right for this seat. I got it done and it's nice to sit in, including the lumbar support I added behind the original fabric. I assure it, I probably won't ever do this again.

The mini also doesn't have the automated rail system an height controls. It's all manual . So one less thing to worry about

Great!

Can you do it the other way around? Make an office into a car seat?

was the reclining function manual? I’m considering doing something similar but finding a fully manual seat that’s lightly worn yet comfortable seems to be a challenge

I have passenger side seat from my first mini Cooper s. 2008 leather never looked so new haha, also I still have the butt warmer element under the seat. trying to figure if I can just wire the butt warmer to a battery dedicated for the warmer then to a toggle switch .

Haha time to find some early 90s 4Runner seats lol

TBH, I probably would have removed those cross bars you welded the base to, and bolted a piece of black-painted wood to the aluminum frame that the bars are bolted to, then bolted the chair base to that. But, just welding it like that was quicker and easier.

Lol I need that Teg seat for my build! I've the bracket to complete it too. Knowing my luck, it's already been used or sold lol

i wonder if you could use something like jb weld if you don't have a welder

Nice seat! I'm go a little crazy here... 5 dollars for it! Thats a dar got return of your investment! Deal? I live a little far.. Brazil... we split shipping then... 😁❤ please? Algo interesting is that when I had visualised this Project in my head thats the exact chair that crossed my mind! Buy no luck finding any used ones here. Unfortunatly vetts are not popular here. Once again loved to see it come to life!

I also must had to say... I had watched many car seat videos... analyzed many computer chairs on display centers, none comforts me than the car seats/chairs....

I have a mint 99 4Runner passenger seat chilling in plastic in the attic...

Is there a way to do this with out welding got an old nismo seat i wanna do this to

what if thiers not a welder within miles ? can you use alien tape?

what kind of auction and where can I find auctions like that? Thanks. neat vid.

not enough people do this. There are probably thousands of seats just going into dumps and landfills. I have a couple car seats I got for free and my last office chair is destoyed but the base is perfectly usable. I am trying to find someone who can weld and maybe they won't charge me an arm and a leg. Or maybe they will accept the second seat as payment, I only need one after all.

Where did you get these seats? I assume auctions- if so, how do you find these auctions?

Bro could you make one video on turning a W222 Mercedes S class chair into an office chair?

Office and gaming chairs suck big time, making something out of a car seat is an idea I've had for years. I probably will, but I don't want a seat from a dismantling body shop, who knows who died on that car seat during an accident, I'd buy a new one. Or take one from my car :))))

Elektrik mekanizmasını hiç sökmeseydin, akü için bir bölüm oluşturabilirdin. Altına sadece kafes sistemi yapmak daha mantıklı olabilirdi.

lastly.... I had watched many car seat alter videos... yours was much logical and sensible... eager... examine... executed...

I'm lazy i would of just C clamped it done.

How do I do the opposite?

i dont have a welder i bet spider webs of heavy duty zip ties would make this work

Next time drill the pins out, ultimately thanks!

r/pcmr forced me here
