Great to see you and your work once again. My word but that chaise was exquisite, just lovely...i would buy it, alas i live in California. 🎉❤. Hope to see more of your work.🎶
They usually drop in a recess or if it sits on top the frame then the usual method is centralise side to side and push fully back against frame then screw in position. Hope this helps.
It's a shame I never had a chance to get into restauration. Only found out about it later in life. I have infinite patience for fiddley bits and working things out. Oh well. Next life, maybe.
Craig "Lovely", right! I didn't detect much hesitation in your response! Phew, I held my breath while you were drilling! Wow, what a jewel, Craig! I hope he got his asking price for it.
There is a difference between the Fan coolant temperature switch and the coolant temperature sensor which threads into the block and sends to the temperature gauge.. That was the wrong comparison you made when thinking you had bought a new temperature switch but instead had bought a temperature sensor.
Thanks for this! I’m looking to do a similar fix on my sofa until I can afford to get it completely reupholstered. Would a normal furniture staple work ok or should I invest in one like yours?
Do you mean the staple gun itself? if so you can use a hand stapler if required but it could be hard work or you could go old fashioned use hammer & tacks, if you want to use one like mine which is pneumatic you would also require a compressor. Hope this helps?
I have the exact same chair, Greaves & Thomas. The foam.came off so I had to strip it. Its the fibreglass shell. Still have the original stretch fabric with zip and cord. I'm a tailor by trade but I'm perplexed on how I'd do such a strange shape.
@craighughesupholsteryoffic5077 great video - good to really understand how the supports work in these chairs. If the base support is curved like those used in some danish chair (teak and base is upholstered), do you know what technique is used to re-fabricate it? Or perhaps the curve is created by tightening down the board on angled side supports?
If the base board is flexible enough then screwing down to a angled support will create the curve if thicker ply is used then it is usually steamed to create the curve!
Thanks for this - just wondering what material you used for the bottom? Also what happens if you need to replace that same chair another time, but you've glued the foam to the wood - do you just have to replace the foam then, or can you rip it off?
I used MDF as a base because it is stronger than chipboard, if you need to replace it again don't just rip the foam off it will damage use a scrap to remove it then it can be reused!
@@craighughesupholsteryoffic5077 Thanks for the quick reply! Also thanks for the MDF tip - my question was about the black material you'd used for the final bottom part, but your answer was also useful too! Can you use any material for the final bottom?
@@bluesigh you can use anything you like preferably something not too thick, cotton is ideal, I use what is called black dypril which is specifically made for bottom of furniture!
The last one took my breath away when I first watched the episode . Tony’s reaction was my reaction. The graft you put in on it. And the result. World class. 👌
Wow, Craig, I was just thinking the other day that I hadn't seen you for awhile, & there you are!---That last chair nearly brought me to tears, it is so breathtaking. I can't even imagine the cost of such a jewel. Phew. Priceless. ---Please post more amazing examples of your projects.
Getting better slowly thanks, I have been trying to get out there more on the TV as I feel people can learn from what I do & hopefully get some young ones interested, but unfortunately no TV channels seem interested! ☹️
