Step Fabrication
Here's another job that True World Marine asked me to do. They wanted me to fabricate a step out of fiberglass for a boat that one of their customers bought. The first step into the cabin was about 16" down and it was difficult getting into the cabin. After I fabricated the step the company officials came down and were very impressed with my work. They wanted me to make a mold of the step or have me start casting them up for their company. Check out the photos and see what you think of it.
Step-by-Step Fiberglass Step Fabrication

This is what the inside step area looked like. The step down was about 16". So I had to make a step that looked liked it belong their.

Now I’m test fitting it. At this point they just wanted something flat. But after testing it, walking in & out of the cabin it was not good enough for me. I felt that if you tried to walk out of the cabin your foot would get caught on the underside of the step and you may possibly fall and hurt yourself.

I cut it up and reshape the step with a front panel that would stop your foot from going under the step.

Here is what it looks like. The front panel will stop your foot from going under the step in rough water if you where climbing out of the cabin. A lot of thought went into making this step.
