Cloth replacing Philco 20.
#1

He guys

I bought some cloth from Radiodaze for my Philco 20 console, this exact model below

http://www.tuberadioland.com/philco20_co..._main.html

When removing the old one (really in poor shape) I've noticed there was no particular thing(s) that would secure it to the wooden frame the speaker bolts to.

Question1: Should I use staples, or something, to secure the cloth first, and then bolt the frame back to the cabinet?
What's the best way of doing it - I have ZERO experience with upholstery, and my hands grow where the legs should grow from, when it comes to cabinetry, upholstery etc. I am a pure electrical guy.
Question2: How do I stretch the cloth? Should I iron it first?
Question3:Should I cut it to size or?

Anything else? If anyone describes the whole procedure, or better yet - if someone has a photoshoot of the process - would be great!

Regards,

Mike
