: Hi Et,

: Looks nice also looks much line mine :)

: I use an angle grinder to carve the majority of the foam out, it's
: VERY agressive and goes really fast, then finish with the
: orbital sander. Actually I build a scrap wood "box"
: without a bottom or top to hold the foam in place and stake it
: to the grass outside to do the cutting and let the rain get rid
: of the black dust from the minicell. Much easier than trying to
: clean up the mess in the shop :)

: The box keeps the foam from flying into the next county when the
: angle grinder gets a hold on the foam, if you don't do this you
: tend to spend a bunch of extra time chasing the foam blank all
: over the yard/shop.

Hi Bill

You are lucky to have an angle grinder. My son has more or less stolen all of my power tools. Only my ROS is now sacrosanct.

I actually roughed out the seat with a paint scraper to start with. I also went outside for the sanding.
