40 years ago I was a copy machine tech for Xerox and traveled all over the Kansas City area. One day while I was in route to a call I passed a samll factory that was closing down and they had a bunch of junk set out to haul off.
It was junk, bent and busted metal shelves, some really worked over office furniture and the like. I had to stop and take a look, you just never know when you will find that great find. Well under some of the shelving there was a metal stool, the seat was gone, just a metal frame, so in the van it went.
I took it home, cut 2 circles of 3/4 plywood and screwed it one. It has been that way for the last 40 years. It has been used for just about everything you could thing of, saw horse, ladder, paint stand, grinder stand, even a boat draining stand but its always been there for me. Oh, and it was also used as a stool.
After I finished my last project I had 2, 6/4 maple blocks left over, just enough to glue together and make a new seat, I even convexed it.
I am not going to do anything with the frame, it has to many badges of honor on it.
Now ain't she pretty..........
