Making a Fiber Glass Seat
Copied Threads So Far.

Landyacht,
Question; Regarding the Seat, How many layers of Fiber Glass Matting do you use in the ones you make??
As you know I have made the plug.

This is a material I have never done and am keen to go for it, as it were

ron, the shape you have there has no " overturned " edges to stiffen it length ways , and needs more shape to stop it twisting.
have a think about some of the cross-sections that have been shown on the seat building threads. the turned over sides add support without adding weight. simply adding more glass will often not fix the problem.
do you want to put this one in the construction section

LOL That is where I thought I put it Took me a half hour to find it the next day LOL.
Will do.

What you see in the pic is a plug. My intent is to put a Ply wood base in the seat glassed in, another under the knees at the mid way mount. As for the turn over, I was going to use something like a bit of garden hose and enclose it in the glass construct. This would form a bead-------I think? or the other way was to fold the layers to from a thick edge about 32mm wide along the outside edge.

PS. Like I said I've never tried this sort of thing before.

Just working out a build

Guday Troops,

Ok! So I have to start somewhere.

The upshot is I am going to build a Land Yacht of some description, "Do or Die"'
There is a lot of ether chat about a recycled product "Drill Core Rod" So is it really a prerequisite to use this stuff?? If so where can it be found??
I am in Wynyard Tasmania and there so many deserted beaches here for a loner to really "Go For It"
Any advice or input is welcome.

SOB (WRONG) Silly Old Bugger :-)
