Really nice!  From the picture, it looks as if one set of legs is turned and the other dimensioned?  Am I not seeing correctly, or is this the case?  And if so, benefits?

Ya know thats nice. I have a MFS and put a work station on it. So I got the pad left over. Thats a great idea. maybe Ill make one. After all the pad for the seat is just sitting inna box

I will let [member=32795]VW MICK[/member] answer, but my guess is that most of the sitting would be on the side with dowel legs.  Added strength and all.

cheers.  Bryan.

The legs are a quadrant machined with this scarey router bit [attachimg=1]

Is it a comfy pad?

 

[#Tee]

should make a tray at the bottom to fit some systainers. [tongue]

 

[ear3]

Sweet!  Where'd you get the pad from?  A nd could I ask what the process was for doing the trays -- in particular, what the setup was for following the radius/profile on the edge?  Did you make a template/jig first?

 

[VW mick]

Yes the pad is quite soft

Everyone that has come around likes it. Doesn't look like it is going to make it up the workshop

This is the pad I think it was only about £21

I made a jig and used a fluting cutter with a top bearing. Then used a straight bit
To clean out the rest. Sorry didn't take any photos of that process
