Real definition of working from home 🏡 nice work 👍

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Thanks Aaron!

[@jameslangan7357]

Good to see you're taking well intentioned advice from those who know about the make up of shocks. 👍

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Thanks James, good advice is always welcomed.

[@Bettinasisrg]

Very nice and thanks for using normal tools! Some of these videos have people using $10,000-$20,000 dollar too!s, its unbelievable.

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Thank you very much.

[@jamesneedham5799]

Props for the stick welding, glad to see others who still like em even with super cheap crappy mig welders these days

[@h4z4rd42]

OK, I was worried through the entire video that you haven't warned people of spring compression and pressurised gas, but now I see you did. Great work!

[@ismaelbautista7149]

Once again sorry let me congratulate you again you are great.

Thanks Danny.

[@karolthiesen4707]

It just so happens that I have two unused springs in my garage at the moment. Looks like a good time to get my powerarc welder out and make a couple of nice stools. Thanks for the idea and the video.

[@certautotech]

Very cool! Baffled at the 1.7k thumbs down. Not sure what’s not to like. A winner in my book. By the way I am an ASE certified Automotive Service Master Technician. Thumbs up on your build.

[@michealbay1290]

They should have done a sitting test, does it roll side to side or not?

[@peace4world84]

You should show us you sitting on it to see how it looks like. .very good job

[@jimbo5906]

Good idea....comfortable chair with spring

They're really cool, especially when you only used basic power tools. Great job.

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Thanks Stevo.

[@timguba8887]

Very cool. Clean design. I thought the end caps on the tube steel was a nice touch. Keep up the great work.

[@chyroid6373]

You should get one of those magnetic welding squares. I saw one of the legs move out of alignment after you finished the first weld.

[@LeosTueftelei]

Excellent work 👍 👍🏼

Jako dobra ideja.Izuzetna kreativnost..

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Hvala ti Stevanu.

[@TrojanHorse1959]

I was thinking BOOM! when I saw you welding on the base of the shock, then I read the diddly do and saw that you took care of that issue. However, in this "sue happy" world we live in not everyone reads the diddly do so you may want to consider adding info like that directly into the videos.

[@freddymello3227]

Good job bro!!nice video

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Thanks very much Dave, how all with you.

[@davewilliams355]

Good matey, havent been in the garage for ages, was in Dublin last week for work. Next weekend i hope, got a lighting project to finish off.

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Good stuff. Your a busy man.

[@AddictedtoProjects]

I am a mechanic, so allow me to predict the future for you here; The only thing that is holding the seat pads perpendicular to the ground, is the shaft of the shock absorbers. And it's a skinny shaft, as far as the options out there. When somebody sits down, they will be moving around on the chair, and their 60+ KG weight will shift *SIDEWAYS*. The springs won't stop that from happening. You have nothing in the design that can deal with the sideways forces, other than the shafts from the shock absorbers. And those shafts were never designed to take sideways forces, only up and down. In a car suspension, a shock would never experience sideways forces. So what will happen here is that the chairs will be wobbly, and the shock seals will start leaking pretty quickly, and you'll get oil all over your shocks. Worst case, the shock shafts will actually bend. Don't get me wrong. They *LOOK* nice, but you forgot to consider physics.

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Thank you for all the info, Its much appreciated. I have learned a lot about shocks in the last few weeks.

[@Heretico1]

I'm not a mechanic, but I use logic too! It is impossible for these stools to be useful for the same reason you mention. It has no support to keep it. The springs are going to contract but the shock absorber will not work in the way it is expected, they can not maintain perpendicularity, making whoever feels, ends up on the floor :( It's a very attractive design, but it stays there, in a nice design ... I'm sorry Eamon Walsh, but that's how I think it is

[@RandomRaider112]

You could take a MacPherson Strut. It should handle the forces ways better :)

[@commodoresixfour7478]

Eamon Walsh DIY I will subscribe just because of your comment.

[@TheDanbulance]

Also a mechanic here. These will stand up just fine for a 200 lb person. These things are built to take a hell of a lot of weight. Also don't see them compressing a whole lot, unless they're very lightweight springs. I made a set of stools out of minivan struts, It hardly moves when I sit on them. Mind you I'm not a big guy.

[@azbikerider49]

Wanted to see someone sitting on it. Not sure how sturdy that would be? Looks good though.

[@SmellyEllie2]

They look superb,,,,,

[@tonysuley4306]

Im a tsce which means I qualify as a technical support calibration engineer.Two things will happen here,1 if you sit on it and put alot of pressure on it while you try and put the nut back on ,if you have problems putting on the nut the shock absorber gives way and shoots Wright up your arss . I should be out of hospital in the next couple of years..

[@laserfalcon]

Nice build

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Thank you laserfalcon.

[@Emersoncastro1979]

Sou do Brasil e é a primeira vez que assisto um vídeo do seu canal. Muita criatividade e execução. Parabéns!

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Thank you..lots more to come hopefully.

[@Vishwajeet_22]

Wow it's an amazing way to recycle bad shock absorber into attractive & useful sits ...😉😉😉

[@brazilcreative1063]

Very very good. Like Brazil creative. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@lsx_moe]

Coolest thing I've seen in 2018

[@kevinsgymbkk7175]

love your design and to help with the lateral movement maybe you can weld up the bottom of the springs to the bottom perch? Btw great job!

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Thank you.

[@ib1713]

Детям бестолку стульчик, а тещя на проверку так и не пришла... Молодец - чисто, аккуратно работает

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Спасибо

[@aaronsprojects]

Very cool, one thing I'd do differently would be add a foam cushion to the top, as mdf will be a hard seat.

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Thanks Aaron, Maybe next time.

[@joshr5520]

Your projects are amazing! I recently subscribed and am really enjoying watching everything so far. These stools look amazing!

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Thank you very much Josh! Hopefully lots more videos to come.

awesome idea and work... wish I had the welding skills to make one.

[@freddyvalverdebarboza8125]

Trabajo excelente me podrías decir que tipo electrodo utiliza para soldar el amortiguador muchas gracias Freddy Costa Rica

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Hola Freddy, eran varillas de acero dulce de 2,5 mm. Tenga mucho cuidado si suelda los amortiguadores, ya que existe un alto riesgo de explosión. La presión debe liberarse de antemano.

[@Wse_Swoimi_Rukami]

Круто! ДАже самому захотелось такие сделать!)

[@jaimeaugusto190]

Very good! Hug from Brasil

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Thank you Jamie.

[@SegwayThessaloniki]

Great job! We are using the same music in one of my videos. And I'm also showing a seat! With absorption! Amazing chance :-)

[@dilshadhusain7061]

Very nice 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@EamonWalshDIY]

Thank you Dilshad.

[@goldmaster9261]

Прикольно придумал! С меня лайк 👍🏽

[@javotoica]

Great design! I´ll just change one thing in the video. If you are going to make two stools/chair or anything, just show the process of one, because, other way, you shot two times the same picture and the video get longer. But good video and congrats!

[@ernienapier70]

They look great and will create a lot of discussion for sure. I should make some unique bar stools with my powerarc.

[@eln74]

Nice bro, tnx for sharing it man!!!

Thank you Emmanuel!

[@effewegugal3382]

Freaking awesome! I'll never throw struts away again!

[@MichelFerreiradasNeves]

Very nice idea!!!! 👏👏I have two pieces of these buffers thrown in the corner of my hobby workshop, and I wondered how I could make them to use them in a seat or something, and your video inspired me. Thank you!

great idea & video, gunna make one real soon. thank you...

Thank you Eric.
