What happens here

Use an electric turkey carving knife to precisely cut foam pieces for the built-in couch cushions. This tool allows for smooth, accurate cuts, ideal for custom upholstery. Cut both the seat cushions (6 inches thick) and backrest cushions (4 inches thick) to fit the couch frame dimensions, including the curved section. The foam will then be wrapped in dacron and covered with Sunbrella canvas fabric for durability and comfort.

Goal: Prepare custom foam cushions for the built-in couch.
