That tapered front bellows took a good deal of thinking and testing, largely because of the taper. It turned out pretty well in the end , so the 22" x 22" straight bellows for the back should be a lot easier and faster to make. First I drew the template on yellow poster board, then cut a bunch of 7/8" wide strips out of the same white poster board from Dollar Tree, and started fitting them on the 22" wide template:
I then laid down three strips of low tack tape across the ribs to hold them properly spaced for gluing:
and finally removed the small pieces of tape holding the ribs on the template.
