Thread: T-Top for a Friend

Very nice work. Wish you lived closer, I’ve got some aluminum welding coming up when I rebuild my transom. Nothing drastic but I don’t want to pay for someone else’s education.

I made the top pattern this morning and am sewing his top out of the new Waterproof Sunbrella in black.

Moving along a bit, T-Top frame permanently installed. Electronics Box is mounted and wired in, Fusion Speakers mounted and wired in, AMP installed, the canvas is a new Sunbrella "Waterproof" canvas. My first time working with it, my walking foot machine is a Singer 211a, pretty HD machine, when sewing the Stamoid reinforcement for the grommets to the underside I did have a little sliding problem under the presser foot. Down to punch list items, missed a grommet on the back, easy fix (getting older), got to install Spreader Light switches, and may re-lace one side of the canvas to reposition the VHF antenna wire. Going out tomorrow then I'm heading to The Rez. Planning on ignoring even any smoke signals while R&R crappie fishing.

That is an awesome build.

Finished, back to retirement. Bad for the Crappie...................heading to the Rez.
