Marvin, when you built your seat, did you construct the front edge so that it would angle your legs higher than your butt? That's generally the first thing to check - you need your thighs angled upwards. To check to see if that's the issue, stuff something (foam blocks, rolled up towels, etc) under your thighs/knees to keep them up. If that solves the problem, either keep stuffing stuff under your knees, or make another seat that puts your legs at a better angle.
