The cut was made on the outside of the pencil line, then I measured the frame again before planing the newly cut edges to a smooth surface.
Final job, rush the modified seat pad frame with paper fibre rush.
Hope the customer likes it!

Finishing the drop-in upholstered to rush seat pad conversion
First of all I took careful measurements of the existing frame, then knowing that the rush cord is 5mm in diameter, I marked a pencil line around the perimeter at 5mm in from the edge. This was removed with the jig saw.
The cut was made on the outside of the pencil line, then I measured the frame again before planing the newly cut edges to a smooth surface.
Final job, rush the modified seat pad frame with paper fibre rush.
Hope the customer likes it!

Wonderful job !! How do you make the corners so nice ?

Thank you Drew and Jan!
Jan, using the fibre damp makes it easier to get the corner covering neat, holding the mitres in place while you weave can be a bit tough on your hands though!
Excellent conversion there from the upholstery seat to the paper rush and such a great set of photo steps! BTW, love the blog layout and the addition of the "Favorite Posts" section on the left sidebar. That's how I discovered this post.
