Measurements taken with the graphic idea rough sketched.


Two basic patterns of the cross were selected and mocked up.


After settling on the pattern, it's just a matter of gluing on a paper pattern over the cover and cutting it out.

With the basic shape rough cut, a drill press with spiral cutter was used to clean up the mess of all the drill holes.

Finish shaping and sanded with sandpaper and getting ready for the wrinkle paint.
