time for something a little different.
I've finally got round to designing and building my sim racing chair which I bought a seat for last year. I got fed up of being uncomfortable when playing Forza or F1 so decided to make a proper mount for the wheel and pedals. I had some metal I was going to build a frame for the Punto chassis to sit on but I've changed my plans for that so it was just laying around. So not only do I get a nice race seat it's giving me good practice on the welder too.
Here's the design:
And here are some progress pics:
Basic layout
Outer frame welded together:
Seat mount welded into place:
I've marked up the placement for the bolts which will hold the seat in place and I'll drill them out tomorrow.

That is a little sad Chris but also dedication to the cause lol
I do.
Something different though. Good practice for welding too.

Welding looks good though, i really want to have a go myself at some point.
Yeah I'm definitely getting the hang of it now. Getting the settings right on my welder.

As said, massive geek.
But fair play it looks cool!
Lol if I was a massive geek I'd make it look like an actual car and go way over the top with it. I'm making use of some spare metal I had lying around and a spare seat.

I think it's a great idea for a project. How is it any different to fabrication work on a car? Are you using tube for the rest of it? Would look much better imo.
Come on then let's get a close up of the MIGing and we can judge for ourselves
