A pensioner in China has made a massage chair purely out of scrap.

Lin Shuseng, 78, a retired mechanic from a car repair shop in Beijing, has been making the chair for 8 years.
Lin came up with the idea to try and ease his wife's stiff limbs.
"I go mountain walking every day, while my wife cannot do it because of her painful joints," said Lin.
Lin's massage chair has developed from the initial idea of a neck massage to a full body massage.
Recently he added a new function to the chair by installing an electric pot under the chair which warms the seat.
Lin said his massage chair is still not the final version, since he may add other functions to it.
