  • I have an old football stadium folding chair I'd like to mount onto a piece of wood, to live in a nook in my office. Any ideas for what to use to attach it to said wood? Not quite sure how to source a fat but short woodscrew. Or indeed if that would be strong enough - perhaps some kind of bolting required instead.

    Chair below - I have the small offcut its currently standing on, and a bigger bit I'll probably have to use instead.

  • I think I'd bolt it to a piece of metal sandwiched between two bits of wood, the top one to look pretty and the bottom one with cut outs for the nuts. Then you just need to get hold of some bolts which can be cut down in length.

    Do you actually want to be able to sit on it? I think the base would need to be quite big to be stable.

    Something like these, in the underside of the base wood. Then suitable sized bolts.
    Maybe slightly recess the head of the nut to save your flooring and/or felt pads

  • My dad had the same. Straight through into the wood was fine. Think the wheels moved it a little too high but I am a shortarse.
