    So I picked up this Ekornes stressless chair on craigslist today with the base broken off. A little welding, grinding, and a large bolt and she's back in service! I need to find an ottoman to go with it but for now an upside down 5 gal bucket with a couch pillow on it will do.

    That looks very comfortable. Does it come with a drool towel?

    Sam, you could always "upgrade" your ottoman with an upside down milkcrate and pillow... BackwoodsSavage will attest to their versatility!

    Not a bad plan at all. I'll have to see if I can spare one from the shop.
