    If you made the pivot points up side down you could just drop the assembly in to the pivots, no caps re quoted. Put 4 pivot mounts around the worktable anf just lift and place the seat were desired.
    Good build do like the concept!👍

      As to the first part of your comment- that was originally the plan, but I flipped it because I didn't have enough space under the benchtop. I like that second idea though!

    I thought you were good but when I saw watch I said this guy is a professional. Pal I need to give you the recognition you deserve this is an outstanding tutorial people don’t understand the pizass it takes to do this. Additionally The camera angles, the editing, the method, distance from action, all perfect. I’m going to make 6 just like this for my kitchen. Really I’m impressed and excited to pass These off to guest as my own doing. You may not have gone viral yet but keep it up and you will.

    Instead of tapping a screw in your piece, two pieces of blue tape (one on your piece, covered in CA glue and one that has the shank attached, blue tape covered in activator) makes a great workhold for a makeshift lathe without having to screw into your part. The CA combo adheres the dry side of the blue tape, and blue tape is somehow strong enough to hold on until you're ready to peel them off.

    Assembly @3:41 is upside down compared to final @6:02, also, are those self-tappers going into the wooden seat? I think some 3/4" ID thrust bearings would reduce wear on pivot points. I like your idea, good video.

      Thanks! It’s pretty great, one thing I did to it later was add some loctite to the threads because the seat had a tendency to tilt left or right if I leaned too far in either direction. Since doing that though, it’s been all good!

    Also, being 230, I'd bolt it to the leg as opposed to screws and move it to the inside of the leg. Very little room around my bench.

  • @YouTuber-mc2el

    Good idea, it appeared to be to close to the bench when in use. At least for me. Seemed to crowd you at the leading edge of your bench.

    • @huewnmakes5831

      It's definitely more function than form. I don't use it all that often (because I'm usually standing) but it is really nice to have.

      I was rushing. I should’ve given it more time than I did and the last straw was the way I stressed it with the clamp. I don’t think it’ll happen again, but I can replace it if it does.

      Not exactly- I think the only failure point would be pulling the screws straight out of the leg of the bench, which isn't gonna happen. I found that I can actually lever the workbench off the ground a little by putting the stool in the right position and leaning out as far as I possibly can. It wouldn't happen by accident, it takes some effort. One problem I did have was that the seat started to be able to tilt left/right if I leaned that direction. Not a structural problem, but annoying enough that I took apart the elbow joints and put on lots of thread locker, which has done the trick so far. If that fails, I might try to put a couple little tack welds at the meeting of those joints just to lock them up for good. Thanks for commenting!
