WE MADE OUR OWN PUSHPIT & PULPIT SEATS!!

We made our own pushpit and pulpit seats!! Its been an incomplete job since we bought our yacht and one we thought we'd never be able to do ourselves. But if buying Saoirse has taught us anything, it's that , 'when you put your mind to anything, with a bit of research and hard work, you can accomplish it!' In this video, similarly to our video about the fabrication of our saloon table, we take you through the process of making the templates, timber plug, glassing the mold, then creating the fibreglass seats, fairing and painting - and what we ended up with was better than we imagined we could do.🙂 It was a long winded way of making the seats, we had considered doing them in timber but the thought of the long term maintenance put paid to that idea. We knew that getting someone else to make them for us would be costly because it is a lot of work, so we looked at the tables we have already made and figured we could probably pull this off if we researched, did it slowly and carefully and most importantly, paid attention to detail, It ultimately took us longer than expected because I was a little pedantic about the finer details, especially when it came to fairing and sanding. There were a few ill tempered moments 😡, when I was told I was taking it too far with the sanding, but it paid off in the end when we ended up with seats that, I think, are as good as any we could have bought or had made for us.
