Thanks again Carl. As I had mentioned, I made individual sleeves for the coils based on something I found on the internet. I'll scrap them.
Curious you said your sleeves are out of linen, seems kind of light weight. Thinking of denim or canvas? Comments?
And a question on the clamps that secure the frame rods, are these available in less than bulk quantity and if so, what are they called? Short of that, how do you join these, I don't want to weld them up
in further review of the sleeves, I see they are all hand stitched at the bottom. I am contemplating marking the material with a marker the entire length, insert a spring, compress the spring so I can feed the material and spring through the sewing machine and sew on the aforementioned line and when I release spring tension, the spring goes back to its proper height and continue for the entire row of 11 springs
This would also assure all springs are of the same height, initially. Comments on this are appreciated too
