Re: Homemade bolsters
I'd say pretty good for a first attempt as well. There are lots of tricks that can be learned from experience and I'm sure you learned some already. Too bad you're so fare away, I'd give you a job.
Good luck on your other projects.

Re: Homemade bolsters
WOW!
First Transom core replacement, then upholstery.
Talk about tackling stuff that most people wouldn't even consider doing themselves.
What's next?
That 10 meter is gonna be cool!
What kind of sewing machine and needles do you need to use to sew that stuff?
Nice work!

My question is aluminum acceptable (Painted/powdercoated) or does it have to be stainless?

Re: Homemade bolsters
Zanie,
My last feat after the cockpit is going to be the cabin and then I'm done. I used a sewing machine marketed by Sailrite. Basically, it's a Brother (metal case) rebadged. I would guess that it is medium duty. I've seen some that are light and I've seen some in upholstry shops that are heavier duty.
