Cuts and Folds

I wanted to work out the how the folds will work and decided to go with the method of removing a 10mm strip off the bottom layer of the board so that it can be folded at a 90 degree angle.
these folds will be used on the faces that meet half way and fold inside to create the triangle shape.



I also had to experiment with the different angles for the rest of the folds the triangle shape requires cuts that are less than 45degrees. I found that if I made the cuts 10mm on either side of the fold centre and cut toward the centre it would create approximately 25 degree angle.

I also decided to have the seat cover fold over using the method shown in the above image.
