new cockpit table 2900se

[spud123]

i did 't care for the white plastic table that came with the boat so i pondered on a design. i was contacted by a historic building restorer who told me he was restoring an old church abd had recovered so excellent cedar planks,so that is where i started. i used the old table as a template but enlarged the total diameter by 8 cm. i wanted to have a personal touch so i decided to draw a celtic triangle .the process was explained very well on a web page .you use a geometry set compass . after i drew the design i used a soldering gun to burnthe design into the cedar wood.after some sanding i took my wife's toll paint and colored the inside.5 coats of varnish later i think it will suit out boat.

Look great Spud. How heavy is that new piece as compared to the original? Will the old hardware handle it?

[spud123]

about the same weight, 5 kg, cedar is very light wood

cup holders are incorporated in the seating area where the table will be placed, ( my wife said she would cut off the hand of the first person that sets a drink on the table) . ha!
