The "JUNK" Room / Re: At the owners request ...

  Did I mention that it is held to the underside of the flybridge
   with no less than 40 stainless hooks and 80 screws.
    Yet I wasn't allowed to use P track as it would look too ugly....
     WTF !
       Sorry PDQ all a bit busy at the moment , So I can't come over 
          to teach you how to make wrinkly loose covers.
            But I'll be sure to post more excrement examples for ya. ???

The "JUNK" Room / At the owners request ...

Not that I usually make what the customer asks for....
Because usually the customer has no idea what will Look and Work well.
(I'm all about image and performance myself)
   But .... well  every now and again with cock-sure certain clients
      I switch off , refrain from giving advice, and just DO-IT.
       It's so easy going along with the owners design and getting paid from the neck down !
    :'(            DOH .. forgot to put my RAF logo on this one.     Aint she sweet.

Nope , not seen any round here either...
Must be terrible having the infrastructure hanging in the sky.
You'll tell me next that you have seen transformers nailed to wooden poles too ,
Not a sub station in sight, But I'm not phased by that  !  ::)

Yeah.... Not a job to be relished, or entered in to on a whim !
     Cud tell the punter to take the glass from the coffee table and stick it on
       with 5200 quick cure. 8)

Ey lad nowt but a nightmare.
Was it the "80" or the light weight" you had a go at ?
  I thought you would have been able to get it flat on a new jookie.
  I was going to order one like yours If you had outstanding results.
    Perhaps Mike is just laughing at us.. Being provincial clowns who don't use
     Gud ol' Singer machines  :-*

Go ahead , see if your Juki can sew the stuff without gathering the Bejesus out of it.

I'm sorry sir but we had an unsatisfactory business relationship in the past and I have no reason to believe this time will be any different, that coupled with a backlog of work from preferred customers leads me to say no-thanks!

A firm and direct approach I find is best in business.  A loose translation of the above text would be :-
You've got some gaul coming back here again !
You still owe me compounded interest from the last time....
How long will it take you to open your wallet this time ?
I can't be wasting my time on you ,
I have proper clients that are prompt with their payment.
There's the door , now fork cough. !     ;D

Not for me to say , Being just a dress maker  ( I've turned a few hems in my time)... So what about,  side mounts,     frame inside ,    folding just on top of fwd angled woody bit,  thus missing the cleats , then cloth,crimplene, weathermax.. woteva nailed on the outside edge of the combing with galvanized clout nails !
But then again I dunno nowt about boats.
Howz the weather over there in Virginia ?   ???

Just threw this one together last month.
Thought I had better get some pix of it while it still looks
so darn good.
I guess that stickler for detail PDQ will have something to say about the window treatment.
Also the tad of growing room that was allowed.   :-*

O yeah them Iversons guys do make a dandy dodger.
Don't think I'll be copying the Sooo many rows of stitching tho'  , Not because he has some kind of kooky copyright . But it must leak like a sieve .
Wonder if the boat is top heavy after they put all that steel work and struts all over.
Just how many workers and how many times does it take to pattern a bimini..?
Then when finished  show the client what clowns you are and how many attempts you had !!!
As for the crazy cushion lady with her clothes pegs holding her half sewn cushions together and going to the boat with the foam.... that got me giggling.   
But they must be good if they are on the sunbrella website.... Yeah right. :-[
That must have been a two month job with 4 guys in the on going series , What must the cost have been?
ouch !
