Creating the C-shape

- First draw the C-shape on the MDF, I used a nail in the middle and a piece of wood and pencil to create the perfect round shape.
- measure the inner edge of 7,1 cm
- mark the points where the vertical timber for the frame will be glued and screwed between top and botom C-shape
-

Creating the block

- Draw the square top/bottom
- Jigsaw to cutout the pieces
- mark the edges where the timber will be mounted (glue&screw).
- attach the sides
- drill holes all over

! Tips / Remarks

The holes drilled in the wood structure are to prevent that air will be stuck under the upholstry. When you sit down on the pouf, the air can escape throught the holes.
Work precize and get rid of all imperfections using files and sanding paper, because a lot will show when you put on the upholstry.

Some glass would look really nice on that, good spotting I must say.
