I looked to see if anyone had added this tip, and didn't see it. An electric knife (like one you would use to shave a ham or turkey... with two bladeds that alternate back and forth) does a wonderful job cutting seat cushion foam padding.

This will also help - slightly dampen the foam and put it in the freezer. Makes it stiff enough to cut thin.

Tired of using vise grips & C-clamps for holding stuff? Gitchya summa These! Reel Thing sold me a load of stuff he was hauling down from Oklahoma & tossed 2 of these in. Guys & Gals, these things will save much frustration. Quick to operate, one handed operation &,, now get this, the little pad, not the one on the handle, slips off & goes back on the other end & VIOLA,, gotchyerself a Spreader.. Cant do that with a C-clamp..

http://www.amazon.com/Jorgensen-3410-10-Inch-Clamps-Spreader/dp/B0000224C2/re...

I was just sure theyd be over $25.00 each. I mean, theyre the Bomb! AND. (Hold onto yer hat!) Made in America! Nope, Im not kiddin,, Made in the USA,,

Heres another place. Jorgensen has some heck of a product l;ine.

Voila! On this particular one, I need to put some kinda insert in the holes, the plastic's so soft, my fat butt is making the pegs on the wheels elongate the holes.

Maybe cut a couple circles of 1/2" ply & run screws tru the plastic & into the wood?

I have an old, heavy, fiberglass with metal reinforced corners milk crate Ive done that with. Some old carpet on the top( Bottom?) & its pretty comfy. You have a tool try with yours tho. Especially if you'll put a Lip around the bottm edge. Good plan, man,,thats frugal..

You know, a piece of foam rubber & a piece of cloth, some small screws & maybe some contact cement & you would be Cadillacin on with that, oh, yea, need another circle of plywood up there.

Yeah, I was thinkin' some plywood on the bottom around the wheels (I got lots of scraps), and maybe even a dollar store throw pillow or something on the top. Talk about plush! Roll Eyes
