Vermincinerator Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Nice work skany, what fittings did you use for the legs? Like you i am looking for a good compact seat, at the moment i am using an old office chair without the back but its a bit bulky, however i think i have found a solution, a drummers stool. They can be had for about £20, they are adjustable for height, the seat comes off, the column and legs fold up, and they swivel as well. Ian.

baldie Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 I always used to use a drum for decoying, and it would suit this purpose too. Get down to your local curry house, and ask them for a drum the mango chutney comes in. They are at least 2 foot tall, with a very heavy duty screw on lid you can put a pad on.Obviously you can utilise the drum to store stuff in too.Perfect for this job.

Dont know if i would want my gear smelling of mango chutney these containers are notoriously difficult to get 100% scent free!! Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
