You tied your own metal springs to the base of the morris chair? HOW? A
picture would be fantastic! Thanks.

I don't know what/how the foundation (wood base/framing) is for the seat of a Morris chair, and I've never upholstered a true Morris chair, but I'm presently upholstering a somewhat similar type chair (outdoor/patio, metal frame).

As with this outdoor furniture, I suppose a Morris chair has either a wooden base or a jute webbing base, that the springs rest on, are attached to. The springs are, then, tied to each other and to the base (or to the perimeter framing the jute webbing is attached to). These patio chairs have a 3/4" (treated) ply base.

Surely you realize we are speaking of tying coil springs, not K-arc (zigzag or "S" shaped) springs. Additionally, attaching coil springs to jute webbing is done with Klinch-It fasteners (you'd need a Klinch-It tool).... It can be done with hog ringers, but is kind of hard to do so; and they can be tied/attached with wire or twine, also. On my my chairs, I used wire and 1/2" crown molding type staples to attach the coils to the ply.

I'll take pics later today.
