NaClH2OK9 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I replaced the floor in my boat a couple of months back. Everything looked good but my old seats and bases looked too scruffy to put back in. I've always thought pedestal bases waste a lot of available space but the alternative box type seemed a lot of money. ( to spend on my cheaper boat anyway) .. Lots is searching turned up no reasonable alternatives until a couple of weeks back walking the dog I came across a couple of old bar stools that had been dumped in a hedge.... My initial anger with the dumper turned into a grin when I realised they were stainless.. I'm not as flash as Fabian with his step by step guides. However. 1 carbide drill bit. And some aluminium angle section has produced the following for a total spend of $50 on bits plus $200 for the new seats. Very happy Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric001 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Great to see such a functional reuse of some one else throw away. Looks like you saved a small fortune by recycling. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
