I wanted new bolsters for my 10 Meter Fountain but didn't want to pay the long dollar. So, I taught myself to sew. I made these from scratch. New frame, hardware, etc. based on my own design. It probably won't put McCleod out of business, but not bad for a first timer. Some trim work needs to be finnished, but what do you think?

Wow man, great job for a first attempt! I think they look good.

Not bad at all.... I think you have the right idea...

One suggestion.... ditch those bent aluminum supports... my Baja had those when I bought it and they both broke within about 2-3 seasons.... broke at the front hole on the base... split like a cheeleader!! I had some new ones made at a welding shop out of stainless tubing that they had laying around as "scrap" and were actually quite cheap (don't remember exactly) and 100 X stronger than the original ones. With two people leaning on those supports, I think it's only a matter of time till they have an issue... tied into the gunwhale or not, and mine were, they both broke.

Other than that, I think you did a great job for a first attempt. How long did it take you to complete, start to finish??? Don't include the sewing lessons!! LOL!!

great job, I can't even sew buttons, one question though, is it just me or do those arm rests look like they are on steriods sorry you asked

Looks great! Have you done the back bench of the fountain or is that in pretty good condition??
