It's not really easy to cut a tire

First i use a grinder, but that make a lot of stinky smoke.

So i finaly use a metal-saw and "huile de coude" (elbow grease...) french diction

Build It

My first idea is making a strut.

But i remove it, after testing the footstool

And i add 2 square each side of the bottom.
