Apparently, you can make a rockerless rocker – all you need are two metal strips, wheels, a little Yankee ingenuity and Gandhi. Found at the always-entertaining Modern Mechanix.

Wait… ghandi in a rocker that rocks without rocking. I think my brain exploded.

That’s nice – a softish wheel to keep the noise down would be needed on hard floors.

Alright, I got Gandhi but I can’t find the metal strips. Any ideas?

I’d use a couple of springs from a car. Either one coil spring and just place it under the back or a pair of strips from a leaf-spring running backwards from the front leg.

Okay, I don’t actually think this is a rocking chair, I think this is an alpha test wheelchair.

this is not a rocking chair, this is an alpha test for the first wheelchair, the beta test came along after the bicycle was inventented.

When Ghandi was done fighting for Independence and civil rights…he joined the Rockerless Rocking League.

I ruined my last Gandhi – I cut him lengthwise instead of along the middle.

Er, uhm, don’t mean to pick, but…
Rockers are just arcs connecting the front & back legs on each side, so, well… Aren’t the two front legs’ feet really just very, very small rockers?
Er, semi-rockers?
See, now you’re gonna hate the blog aggregator I came from…
