Open Wheelchairs - an update on my (slow) progress
Mary-Anne and I gave some brief discussion last LP about the need for an open power-wheelchair design that allowed users to get a chair that more closely meets their actual needs, as opposed to what the chair manufacturers condescend to let us have...
I am making very slow progress on this. I've obtained a used chair to act as a donor-chassis, and gotten it stripped down.
I've managed to do an upgrade on my MIG welder so that I can work with aluminium (the donor-chassis is aluminium)
Most significantly, I will have gotten my drivers license back, so it will be possible for me to go to more places (such as possibly visiting makerspaces, purchasing supplies, and so forth)
