Years ago I made some springs out of wire and by trial and error got
them tempered to a reasonable springiness. Then twirled them into the
area where a broken spring had been removed. Not sure I ever got the
exact pattern intended for inter-lacing them -- but it worked okay.

I do not recall any plywood in there -- think the vinyl was just
attached all around to the heavy wire lower edge of the spring set using
those 'nose-rings' that they make for upholstery.
FWIW -- more recently I have gone with seat bottoms of built up foam and
they ride well and sit higher than my tired old springs.
