    Yes, you cross-weave the straps (just like basket weaving at that place we don't want to end up). When you attach the ends to the plywood, either use really, really good staples, or else good long carpet tacks. Your bum won't notice much difference, but after an hour in the car, your tailbone will love you for it!!!

    You guys have given me, and everybody else doing this sort of thing some great ideas. Thanks. I also remembered West Marine carries webbing and things like buckles to make up straps for marine use. It's been a while since I worked there, but think I'll stop in next week and see what they have. If not, I'll order it from the other place mentioned.

    And, like Brian said, this basket weaving stuff may come in handy when I get to the home. I understand if you do it real good they give you an extra big piece of desert.
