Morning,
I have seen many of you talking about making your own cushions.
We have just about finished ours. Will show pics when done.

Here is a tip I learned many years ago customizing vans. (back in the "60's)
When you are ready to cut your foam.
Borrow your wifes Electric Knife, the one you use for the turkey.
It will cut like butter. We would also use the knife to cut our carpets and naugahyde as well.

try it out it works great.

To add to Scott's list, how do you select the foam, density, and other characteristics.
