Okay, so my wife and I are looking at this chair on You Tube... we have some concerns. 1) doesn't look like it would be , ahhem, wide enough for those of us who may be wider than the rest. Granted, you could cut wider, but the structural integrity might be compromised. 2) For those of us that are pushing 2 bills plus, those legs look like they may not hold us. Solutions??

Since my wife is watching me write this, and for the record, she is NOT 2 bills plus. And I'm not telling how many....half bills she is!

[Troy]

chad. the final legs won't be the typical aluminum, they'll be steel pipe.

they'll be welded to the triangle (or attached somehow)
and the cut to the bowl will be wider.

i'm several bills, and my testing shows that my can will still fit.

 :)finally found the ep on the web after many hrs trying 
 it was just not available thru links provided to us aussies

The handle is in the back also it looks like they did use the regular legs just bent them over and are using the wheels as a flat stable footing. I'm very glad you guys aren't using the regular legs as I'm over two bills and I'd be scared to! its a little late but here is that screen shot.

I would use steel tubes for the legs, like rigid conduit or something.  I would get them cut to a length.  Then I would prob drill a hole and put a strong rope between each leg so they would not be able to stretch too far...

Brian

[Troy]

why not just use the triangle?

[zavod44]

I'll try it and see how strong it is. Strength is my number one issue.  I really don't like those wheels bent like that.  I'll come up with something clever.  I'm ready Troy, we just need to meet.  Sounds like Stu might be coming to Jeff's house.  Maybe we can meet up for that.  I have a grill for Jeff and a grill for Stu....

What about this as the base?
