The Great Sofa Project: Phase 1

i am attempting to build a sofa from scratch, which is probably way over my head, but i think it’s more fun trying to build things when i don’t know exactly what i’m doing. so far i’ve cut the sides of the frame with my jigsaw, and that’s about it. those aren’t even finished since i want to round the corners. at this rate, it will probably take years to get this thing done even though the design is really simple. i just got the jute webbing and webbing stretcher in the mail, so now i’m ready to proceed, but i think cleaning my room should come first.

    So, you want to create a sofa from scratch. I hope the kitteh in the picture does not plan on providing the scratch!
    Good luck.
