Next, use hog ring pliers and hog rings to attach the burlap to the
springs.
Starting on a center edge of the spring assembly, fold the burlap up
and back on itself, and attach to the spring by crimping a hog ring
around the fold and spring edge with the hog ring pliers. Using burlap
on the spring is a key step, as it prevents the soft jute padding from
sinking into the springs with use over time (B).
Continue attaching the burlap to the springs with hog rings, attaching
at the center of each edge first, then each corner, then every 4 or 5
inches around the entire edge. The burlap should be taut on the springs
without bumps or large wrinkles, but not so tight it compresses the
springs.
Step 2: Jute padding
Attach the jute pad to the burlap-covered spring. Carefully remove the
cotton from the jute pad and set the cotton aside.
There are two sides to the jute padding sold by LeBaron Bonney Co.
The soft side should be facing out on the finished spring. With the soft
side facing up on the burlap-covered spring, flip the spring and pad over
on your workbench, so the pad is under the spring.
