Introduction: Supah Chair .... Part 1

How to make a 55 gallon plastic drum into a supah beach or camp fire chair , complete with built in cooler, cupholder , umbrella holder , sound system , and many more self contained amenities. All from salvaged or yard sale item. This is part 1 due the incredible complexities and shortage of quality junk at the local dump.

Step 1:

1st thing you need is the donor (aka the barrel), and the reason for making the supah chair (aka the crappy fold up chair)

Step 2:

step 2 is all about measuring , for the perfect sitting experience , the height - seating ratio must be perfect : bh+-ld=LBp ( butt height + - leg dangle = lean back percentage),
so transferring all your measurements from your model chair to the barrel is very important

Step 3:

adding the options is next, getting too the beach or camp fire with the cooler/base full of ice and frosties with out spillage is of the upmost importance. so proper handles need to be installed

Step 4:

once there easy access and total comfort is the ultimate goal , as this is an instructable from recycled and discarded items, I need to replenish my supplies to continue............future options include but not limited to arm rests w/cup holders , sound system , an umbrella , foot rest , butt cushions and back cushions , wheels for rough terrain, and most important of all the cooler w/drain and a dry storage for sandwiches and chips
