Re: Jim's 1969 Custom/20

BENCH SEAT (3 OF 8)

While waiting for the material to arrive, I experimented with ways to cut and shape the foam. I made a saw with some wood and an old fine-toothed band saw blade so I could make long cuts through the foam. My girlfriend bought me an electric knife that she found in a thrift store (she’s awesome !). I found that a 50 grit disc on my angle grinder worked reasonably well for shaping the foam (it makes a mess, be sure to wear eye protection and a face mask when doing this). It was a bit grabby but I learned to use a light touch to avoid that.
