Make Tamplate of Rim's Edge

Make template of rim's edge, it is very helpful with cutting steel profile.
Cut and Weld Legs

I prepered 3 legs to my chair, angle between them is 120 degree. Draw path using templates and cut a shape. When your legs are well matched to rim, just weld them.
Wheels

Now prepare wheels to welding. I had to improve them a little bit. When wheels are ready, just weld them to legs.
Time for Air Compressor

I used compressor from old fridge. To connect compressor with rim use bolts with nuts. When everything is in place, weld second rim on top.
Make a Little Hook
![DSC_5385.MOV.Still011.jpg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FDH/BSBK/IRUZM9BG/FDHBSBKIRUZM9BG.jpg&filename=DSC_5385.MOV.Still011.jpg)

Make a little hook and weld it to the chair. Hook will help organize cables.
Cut Circle From Wood

Now take some piece of wood to make a seat. Clean surface (I used belt sander) and draw a circle using beam compass. Cut circle and improve the edges. After that screw seat to chair.
Paint and Done :)

When chair is assembled you can start paint . I painted only wooden circle (clear varnish). I not painted the other parts, because I like rusty style.
Now your chair is finished ready to use :)
I hope you enjoy.
