Redneck Engineering

I have an adjustable chair in the gun room that I like but the pneumatics were going out and it would slowly sink and I'd have to get-up and readjust it.

I was just gonna drill it and put a bolt through it but instead I remembered a box of old wayward tools out in the garage that had a set of vice grips in it sooooo.

Worked like a champ, it's been a week and it's holding just fine.

Damn, I did not notice the dust....Took care of that too!

Well get off your fat ass and lose some weight.

I'm just fine weight wise....Just an old chair but it's comfortable and small enough I can get about the room working on stuff.

5 pairs of Vice Grips. I know where 2 are.
I do know where the drill and bolts are, though. I like that one.

So the dust bothers you but have a rusty grippy thing holding up your stool doesn't...

Using vice grips is cheating.
Now if you fixed it with a coat hanger and duct tape..... that's redneck.

Hey, at least I always will know where a set of vice grips are if I need them.
