Ok, not much progress this week, I’ve got strep so I’m taking it easy and the guys are just finishing up details we missed or put off. I went over to the tower shop today though to see how the top was going. They have a form drawn up on the floor, and have started bending tubes and have the outside of the Ttop welded up. I am excited, they gave it a little bit of crown, and I really like how it looks so far.



Here are two different angles, I couldn’t decide which one was better so I’ll post both. This is their plywood they screwed to the floor and drew out the legs. The red part is where the base that will hold the top up. The top is going to be pretty big, I think it’s like 9.5 feet long and I made it a bit wide as well. We are going to have multiple anchor points on the floor around the console, and then on the console itself.





I need a day or so more to finish up not being sick, and then we are going to hit the boat hard and finish it up. I’ll keep going by the aluminum guy in the meantime to show his progress, he’s done a couple of other tops and towers here, and the guy is really creative and I have high hopes for a nice finished product.
