Nick,

I have bandsaw, jig saw, and several others.
Yes I could cut the lifts just fine.
I do appreciate that you have made the patterns available, and I am confident I could get the work done OK.
In this particular situation this boat is a gift which does not seem to be appreciated much.
Because of that I'm not really ready to work very hard on the seats.

On the CLC website there are at least 2 different seats shown on customers boats.

Lots of others have built this boat given all the pictures I've come across.

Thanks for the help, but I was looking for other alternatives.

Actually I might build the wooden seat for my own kayak just for fun.
