Awesome! Would like some pics with someone actually in it though... and pics of the seat as well! Looks like it's really tight in there, like F1-cockpit-tight!

Thanks guys! As for the size, the inside width is over 18 inches wide, so it's pretty much a standard size seat. Plenty of space, I think.

I made the chest as long as I could to fit the corner I wanted (which is 52"), but if space wasn't a constraint, it could easily be built >60 inches. The bottom railing may need to be slightly heavier stock to accommodate heavier weight (I'm 135 pounds).
