Re: Webbing for springs on a curving frame?

I'm still trying to figure out what will work. I'm thinking that the only way for me to be able to stretch the webbing will be to attach the 3/4" x 3/4" boards (that I mentioned in my last note) to the inside of the seat frame. But I now think I should fasten those board with spacers between them and the frame to leave room for the webbing to be inserted between the two boards. I'm thinking of placing a spacer on each side of every strip of webbing. I plan to staple the webbing to the bottom of the 3/4" x 3/4" boards. This is the only way I see to be able to pull the webbing tight. Ideas???

Someone just gave me a completely different suggestion. He said I should insert a sheet of plywood toward the bottom of the frame and attach the bottom of the springs to the plywood. I would think the springs would squeak and cause major problems! Ideas?

Another friend very sincerely asked me: Where are you going to have it upholstered, Mexico? (I live in San Diego.) I answered: No, I'm going to do it myself.

Please -- anyone -- am I on the right track?

You might understand the shape of the frame of the seat (of this sofa) better if I describe it as resembling the bottom of a Queen Anne coffee table. See what I mean about the curves at the bottom?

Please. Help me. I'm hell-bent to turn this frame into a comfortable couch -- one way or another.
