While that was happening I drew a template for the seat outline, including a pattern of holes to improve ventilation and reduce weight. That outline looks like this:

The ply did spring back a little when the clamps came off, but not enough to be a problem. After cutting I ended up with this:

It’s pretty comfortable. Next step – fill it full of holes.
