Default Leaning Post/ Livewell

My project has been coming along slowley. The weather has been bad and work has me busey this time of year. I'm not as fired up as I was when I first started the project so I've been moving at turtle speed. The reality of endless fiberglass grinding has set in and sometimes I have to force myself to put on the coveralls and pull out the grinder.
At any rate I have been doing a few things like getting my fuel tank ready and re-vamping my consel. I'm posting a link to a leaning post/livewell that I recently built. It's not finished yet but it is out of the mold and ready for fairing-painting-hardware-cushions etc... It's made of 4 layers of fiberglass, 2 cloth and 2 1708 biaxel. The corners are reinforced with 1708 biaxial tape. There is 1/4 inch corecell sandwiched between the layers of glass. Not sure how much it weighs but it is very light weight as I can lift it into the boat by myself.
I'll post some pics of the center consel when it's getting close to completion.
