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

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.

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 Evil Twisted Cool

Nice finish too.

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

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