Reclining Chair Made From Old Machinery Parts FARM HOME Furniture 27-5-21 "It's nice to sit in, and the wind won't blow it away," says Joe Brautigam, West Chester, Penn., about the wooden reclining lawn chair he made from planter wheels, hay rake lift levers, and IH sprockets used as cup holders.
The reclining chair is made from treated lumber that has been stained and urethaned. It has a curved backrest and a separate footrest with a pair of notches in it. A spring-loaded lever (off a hay rake) on one side of the chair is used to raise and lower the footrest. The backrest is notched and can be set at any angle.
A pair of small disc harrow wheels on the back side of the backrest keep it stable in the reclining position. The wheels also allow the chair to be moved anywhere in the reclining position.
"I call the chair a piece of æantique implement art.' It's a real conversation piece," says Brautigam.
