Homemade bolsters
#1
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?

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!!
