Nice! Gotta see if I can get some airbag fabric from the local body shop…

Great job with the article, Greg!

Very unusual fabric source but hey, it’s recycling at its best!  Thanks

[James Marco]

Thanks. Some food for thought if not UL.

Love the make-something-useful-from-land-fill-stuff! Thank you for posting!

[Greg Pehrson]

Thanks so much for reading and for your kind comments, iago, Eric, James and Michael!

Cool upcycle project!  You have way more patience than me putting that design criteria in!

[Greg Pehrson]

Thanks Craig, I wish I had a fraction of your design skills! I’ve really enjoyed your MYOG posts and appreciate the level of detail and your spirit of experimentation.
