And the legclamp mechanism is with a springs so i only lift the block up and flipp those legs. but i should put


the inside isnt yet ready i have to make some extra foam on it inside so itl wait tomorrow

Nice floor and I will add that Jani's new packAseat is looking sharp! I'll take both, the wood floor and the seat

looks good...how heavy?

Who would laugh at that? Looks very good.

Jani,
Is it a wood construction,or all metal, and did you make the legs, or buy them? looks very nice.I like it..

Nice Jani!
Looks like we're a bunch of do it yourself people living in this neck of the woods.
I did the same when i needed a seat some years ago.
I really like your leg construction. Classy

Jani, "NO KIDDING!" you could very well be flooded with orders for Pack-A-Seats. It really looks that good.

ROGER

I smell cedar

well i made this first one so we will se what the future comes with

Ulf,

I like how you fastened your pliers and drivers to the seat lid.

Jani,
Man, that is a nice seat! Great job. It will look good next to that new Williams!

By the way, when are you expecting it to get there?

Mack

I'd like to just lay on the floor and look at the bottom (not your bottom).

That's something to be proud of Jani.

Jani, I am sure you will love it. Post pics please, wana see!

Here's my second attempt at a pack a seat. The first one was too big. Alex called it a pack a love seat! Thats it on the bottom.

Jani,are the legs adjustable?
That would be fantastic !

yes the legs are adjustable you can see it on the picture from the bottom

Jerry thats one good lookin seat. Love that vinyl style

Jani Nice Seat! You could call it

THE SILVER SADDLE

Those are some sweet lookin' seats !

So, I'll give it a try this week. Tired of my piano bench and carrying all my stuff in a tackle box.

Was wondering what dimensions y'all used ?

I'm thinkin' of using 1/2" plywood then covering with Buffalo hyde & toolin' it saddle style but with some SOCAL surf&turf design

Jerry, I love the idea with the CD-pockets.
Gonna borrow that one from you.
Nice finish too.

Thanks Drew, that was the simplest way i could think of.

Uffe

3/8 plywood is what I used. I think 1/2 would be heavy.I'm thinking about making the legs adjustable next.
