How to Rebuild the Inside Arm of a Sofa

In this video you'll learn how to re-build an arm of a sofa from a bare frame. This frame doesn't provide a lot of structure so we show you some techniques to build out the frame to get the desired shape and to prevent the arm from collapsing in with future use. We also show you how to add another wooden rail for support as the frame on this arm was too weak to add webbing to it.
