grumpyvette Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 WHERE can I buy parts like the swivel for seats and plans for BAR STOOLS, I built a work bench in my new garage and want to use a few chairs resembling bar stools,the first problem is they should be about 40" seat height and VERY strong, but after pricing them at about a dozen places its glareingly obvious that most are either vastly over priced or constructed like junk. so it would appear I need to build my own, as 40" seat height is not standard, now I can work in wood or steel and can weld so I have options here, but a SOURCE FOR PLANS and the swivel seat bases would be nice EXAMPLE IM open to all options, and surely not limited to this style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin.pk Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 i'm not sure where to get the exact swivels that are made for indoor chairs/bar stools but you could use ones that are used in boats..... http://www.shipstore.com/SS/HTML/GAR/GAR75016.html they also have a stainless one http://www.shipstore.com/SS/HTML/GAR/GAR75020.html Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datsunlover Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I'm sure McMastercarr would have something for the swivel.. spherical bearings/pillow blocks of some sort, or a 'lazy suzan' type of mechanism.. and I'm sure you could simply find a 'seat' style you like, weld/fab a plate to attach, and build a 4 leg'd bottom for it, 40" hight.

kilten_one Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Are you looking for the kind that rotate 360 degrees (ie lazy susan) or the ones that rotate a set amount and then return? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillZ260 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 You may try some home theater wholesale sites. They have some heavy duty swivels that are low profile and rated for tv's. I don't have access to the catalog they send me at home, but I'm sure there are many that offer similar products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledphoot Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I was thinking boat seat swivels also. They are metal and hold up well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
