I've been doing the boring parts of cutting the Southern yellow pine wood parts for the seat frames. As soon as I get them done, I plan on trying to make a video of the assembly and the seat webbing. You gotta remember, I ain't no Young whipper snapper like you guys. But I have to admit the Judge and all the work he does, really makes me feel guilty, but I guess that's what judges are supposed to do, make you guilty!

LOL wood, you work and then come home and toy with your boat, I don't! I really don't work as hard as ya all make it out to be, a couple hours a day, but I can do something every day. My boat project is the only thing that keeps me sane, before getting sick I worked 90 hours+ a week...don't tell DOT, i only logged 70 of it! so now, sitting around the house just drives me bonkers.

Hey Jas,

I think we're related!!! You're wife and my wife are both WIVES!!!! My wife insists that I am addicted to the forum and that I spend more time talking with you guys than I do with her. After 39 yrs of Marriage, I told her she had already heard all my BS and I needed a new audience.

Ok, 15 people broke into my house about 2:00 pm
I had a perfectly good Turkey and look what they did to her.
Glad my boat was safely tucked in the shop, no telling what they would have done to a Flamingo!!!!

Hope everyone had a GREAT DAY!!!!

Well I got started on the Bench Seat. I started another thread on It with videos so you can check it out there too,

http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=524995

but I wanted to post some still shots here. This is the foam "Plasticized" using Walmart bags and spray adhesive. Works Great!

This is a front shot of the cover just pulled over the foam still need to tuck and pull and staple but I think she's gunna look pretty good.

This is a shot of it from the rear.

Will post more later.

Looks good Wood....we use the 3M super 77 at the office a lot. If you need something with some more bite you can use the super 90. I used that on my carpet. Works great and no sloppy glue mess like carpet adhesives.
