Happy Jax 3 Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 Hi Jimbo I actually used lengths of hard wood edging trim from Jewsons. The difficult part was steaming it to go around the bends. Only had a kettle for the job. Mind you it's good having a sauna whilst you work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jax 3 Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 Hi Jonny Thanks for your kind comments, The table has gone now as it has been replaced with our new sealine table. I have put the door on the old table alcove to give us a little more storage space. I have also been making new seating modules ready for Brian Taylor to re-upholster the seats, we are going for the swept round corner seat.

Guest Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Hi Col just looking at the sofa mould once it was complete did you make shure those hatches came out?? wouldnt be a good thing if you found out there were stuff at the wrong time Jonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jax 3 Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 Hi Col just looking at the sofa mould once it was complete did you make shure those hatches came out?? wouldnt be a good thing if you found out there were stuff at the wrong time Jonny They are three separate modules Jonny. Each will just lift off to give access to the lockers. Much the same as the existing cushions lift off now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DAYTONA-BILL Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Hi Colin, that hardwood capping improves the look ten times over. I also like the the two person sofa behind the helm seat, as i think when these boats are built, they always cram in berths, but not enough seating for everybody on board. It`s also better for entertaning company. The curved settee backrest is also much more comfortable. We hired Aston Sapphire in October 96 which had the same seating arrangements as HJ2, but did`nt have the added advantage of the rear access door, which is why we did`nt hire one of Horizon crafts Lowliners for June this year. Unfortunately, my wife Karen (SWMBO), has a bad knee, so the steep steps from the upper helm are a definate no no. Anyway, keep up the good work, as she`s looking a lot better already. Regards to you and Lou.......................Neil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antares_9 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Looks like it's going to be very smart Col, and there's nothing like stamping your own mark on a ship to really make it yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jax 3 Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 After a lot of patience the saloon seating on HJII has at last now been completed, It has been reupholstered in magnolia Connolly leather as used on Aston Martin & Rolls Royce. Here are some pictures of the completed project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petersjoy Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 That looks very nice, one question though, It has been reupholstered in magnolia Connolly leather as used on Aston Martin never seen Aston Martin, I've got Aston Florida and dont remember it ever been upholstered in magnolia Connolly leather, or any of the other Astons come to think of it.
