[QUOTE="Hanr3, post: 255050, member: 1055"] Um, measure the carpet thickness and multiply X 2. For a snug fit, subtract 1/16". If your woodworking skills aren't that refined and your working with hand tools (skilsaw, sander, jigsaw, hand saw, etc), subtract an 1/8". It's harder to shave a 1/16" off than an 1/8". If you have a router table, use an edge bit and trim it down. Much cleaner and will leave a better edge to clue too. Use a small round over bit once it's cut to size. Round edges are much easier to wrap teh carpet around, plus it removes teh sharp edge that causes quick wear on the carpet. [/QUOTE]
