Work begins with the fact that they remove the old canvas of the door from the loops. To do this, a wooden wedge is placed under the loop and press on it with a screwdriver. The door is laid on the goats. On its surface, a line is drawn along which the cut will be carried out and cut it with a cutter. To the place of the cut, using clamps, press the ruler, and the lower part of the canvas is cut off. So that the material does not crumble, a transverse block is inserted into the half part of the incision, which is treated with carpentry glue and inserted into the space between the casing.
