Nice Jani!
Looks like we're a bunch of do it yourself people living in this neck of the woods.
I did the same when i needed a seat some years ago.
I really like your leg construction. Classy

Jani, "NO KIDDING!" you could very well be flooded with orders for Pack-A-Seats. It really looks that good.

Ulf,

I like how you fastened your pliers and drivers to the seat lid.

Jani,
Man, that is a nice seat! Great job. It will look good next to that new Williams!

By the way, when are you expecting it to get there?

I'd like to just lay on the floor and look at the bottom (not your bottom).

That's something to be proud of Jani.

Here's my second attempt at a pack a seat. The first one was too big. Alex called it a pack a love seat! Thats it on the bottom.

Jani Nice Seat! You could call it

THE SILVER SADDLE

Patrick Helly · Post by **Patrick Helly** » 26 Feb 2008 8:44 am

Those are some sweet lookin' seats !

So, I'll give it a try this week. Tired of my piano bench and carrying all my stuff in a tackle box.

Was wondering what dimensions y'all used ?

I'm thinkin' of using 1/2" plywood then covering with Buffalo hyde & toolin' it saddle style but with some SOCAL surf&turf design

Ulf Edlund · Post by **Ulf Edlund** » 26 Feb 2008 2:10 pm

Jerry, I love the idea with the CD-pockets.
Gonna borrow that one from you.
Nice finish too.

Thanks Drew, that was the simplest way i could think of.

Jerry H. Moore · Post by **Jerry H. Moore** » 26 Feb 2008 3:08 pm

3/8 plywood is what I used. I think 1/2 would be heavy.I'm thinking about making the legs adjustable next.
