Perspective Customs Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 On 12/19/2020 at 2:47 AM, traditional said: Hi Jay, Renshape is relatively easy to shape....it sands like soft wood but without the grain or moisture instability. In this case, I used a jeweler's saw to achieve the very basic form /size, and then used coarse sandpaper followed by 400 grit sandpaper. A bench grinder or a small bench belt-sander makes forming more major projects even easier. There's a lot of dust created, so wear a mask for safety (any fine dust can be harmful to your lungs, etc.). I made the bench seat in the three basic parts , then drilled and inserted short lengths of stiff wire to fasten the back-rests to the main base. The Renshape grade that I use (I got mine second-hand so I don't have the grade specs) is very durable with no airgaps, etc. Thanks for the info. I'm going to have to give it a try.
