Hi Chris

Nice descriptions that will help us all

In a DIY or woodshop you can get hardwood edging of many shapes

Quarto, hockey stick 'L' section and othes maybe this is worth looking in to?

Hi Grev thanks for the idea.

 

I ordered some of these Balsa wood blocks. They are very cheap too. 5 pieces around 5 EUR.

 

The plan is to cut them to pieces like this

 

 

and grind it in form.

I found some smaller used brass furniture buttons for a more classical style.

Hi Ed, you need no skills. The problem is only to sit down and start. 

 

Costs:

 

The Drawer Box: 75 EUR

Hard Wax: 8 EUR

Pillow material: 20 EUR (i have ordered too much  )

Fleece material: 19 EUR (i have ordered too much  )

MDF Plates 10x10cm 50 pieces: 5,80 EUR

Wood afford: 4 EUR

Used furniture buttons: 12 EUR

________________

Sum: 143,80 EUR ~ 160 Dollar

 

I think you can spare around 30 EUR or 35 Dollar by calculating correctly how much fabric you need.

I learned a lot by doing this.

 

So lets start.
