Pop/Soda Can Armchair

Link to original post: Pop/Soda Can Armchair



I'm making a pop/soda can armchair. The seat it self will be about 4 cans high and 6 can diameters deep and across. Around the seat will sit an extra row of 2 cans and I'm undecided how high above the seat position I want this row to come up. It's being held together with strips of duct tape.

Anyone have any ideas how I might pimp out this armchair even further?

Would be easier to understand if you used units of squirtles instead of cans.

Get tons of Mighty Putty and put em on to each can.

Here's a bit of an update. Decided to go with 3 cans high for the seating area, 24 cans across, and about 9 cans deep. Still need to double its length and get some cushions or something.

Lookin good. I really like making functional stuff like this.


Although one has to wonder: if you drink that much pop, will the chair be able to support you?

yeah, I can see it being made of full soda cans, but empty ones... seems dangerous for even someone who's light. Don't play smash in it, your excited gyrations may cause it to crumple!

Where did does it say I drank all of it ;p You get about a 12-pack that lasts you about 2 weeks and get 5-6 other people helping you to do the same along with some recycling scavenging, and you get about 350 cans in 2 months. No ill side effects.

Cans can hold up to weight pretty well when spread across a lot of them like this. 4 cans can hold about 180 Lbs without any issues while a single can just crumples.

And duct tape does everything.

There are some people who call it pop instead of soda. Correcting people on that is a little unnecessary and pointless.

Yeah but it was really important that he make a really dumb joke, because he hasn't made enough of them yet.
