Brett taught me well when we develop techniques...
1: keep it simple so anyone can do it
2: no more than three steps
That’s why anyone who follows the manuals can get the results on the box, and feel that satisfaction.
The hard part isn’t following the techniques and getting the results.
The hard part is coming up with the techniques and developing them so 300 kit buyers can replicate them easily. Brett is the master at this. Among other things. .
This seat is a great example, many thought of doing it, in this and other situations, but, in 20 years of this kits production nobody did it (to my knowledge) or on similar builds.
So simple to do after you’ve seen it, almost an anticlimax.
Remember where you saw it first, lol, SWSM Forum.

It’s always great to read you in my threads, hope you and the girls are enjoying the boardwalk.
More details to come....

Cleaned up the desk here in the office a little tonight after working on some of Brett's amazing new 3D details for a few evenings, those things are incredible.
So, now I've got enough space to do some 'woodwork'...
Time to get the battens put on, install the windows, and then get to the next page in the manual...

I guess I'm going to move forward with the details so I can start planning out.
It looks like all the metal is still in the box.
The resin was primed 10 or so years ago so needs dusting off but appears to mostly be there, a few more still to be located.
I played around with the bates many years ago, I'll likely strip it and completely redo it later in the build
Hopefully some work on these this evening.
I found another six of the missing details so, now I think there's only two missing,
I guess that's enough to get started, so here we go...
