DIY How To: Pad a Cane Dining Chair 

Thanks for doing this video. I have no experience caning chairs, yet I was able to do it because of your video.

This is amazing, I haven't been able to find a video that uses webbing in the way that my vintage chair has until now! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

I first want to say a big thank you, I was going to throw my accent chair in the trash, then I came across this video, showing how to get this job done. I am now going to try and reupholster this chair. I'm so excited to take on this challenge, wish me good luck.

He’s so pure 🥺

Thank you for sharing this. Your experience, respect for the craft and no nonsense delivery is rare and much appreciated. Thank you!

Love your clases!!! I have 4 chairs to reupholster and I will use this method.

I love your videos. You are so professional, you keep it simple. It's great.

This is such a great video, thank you! If one doesn’t own the device that tightens the webbing is there some alternative they can employ to get the same result?

Wow, great tips! Especially the batting one! I keep seeing people replace these kinds of seats with plywood, and I wasn't sure if it made a difference. But the "trampoline" metaphor sold me! I need something comfortable. So, I have two questions. 1- How do you know what width of webbing to use? Do more pieces of small webbing have a different effect than fewer pieces of thicker webbing? 2- I'm SUPER allergic to burlap. I assume that I could use nylon webbing and it would work about the same, right? Does burlap have more "give?" Should I not pull the nylon as tight? Or would it all just be the same? Thanks so much!

thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. super helpful!

I love your video! I have this exact chair bottom. It still has the webbing intact it’s a bit stretched . Should I replace the webbing or just tighten what is on the chair?

Thanks a million.

I have a similar chair that was cupboard completely. When I took all of the foam and padding off there was beautiful wood underneath, even some burled . Is there a way to keep this wood showing and still have a nice seat?

I agree 100% with webbing verses wood

My cane seats have a beautiful wood "frame" around them that I would like to refinish rather than cover completely in fabric. Can I upholster just the inside square using your beginning steps? Then finish the edge with either single or double cording?

Did you ever make the completion part 2 video for this?

I have oak kitchen chairs that have never had cusions on them. How would I go about adding cushions?

What is the stretch but you using? Also my grandma's chair had horse hair interior would you have to see that in place or just place?

Thank you, What a great video, I think I could even do this. Is there a list of what you use, or need to get started and where you get it? I have 10 hand caned chairs, all but 1 need re-done, and they are HAND done, which will cost me almost $400 per chair.

I don’t see a follow up video where you finished the chair.

Really injoying your videos 😊

What size staples did you use for that? Thanks.

I could not tell in the video, is the bevel on the webbing side or the opposite side?

Ed, I can appreciate your frustrations, We have been posting free RU-vid videos for 10 years and will say they can’t approach the content and completeness of our paid online classes ,That said we have heard from people who become very good upholsters just watching RU-vid!! Amazing since that requires watching them all! FYI we will be offering zoom classes soon , stay tuned to Broadwayupholsteryschool.com

I don’t have one of those stretching things

It's good to see Woodglut have new instructions to save my money and energy to build it.

One of the reason I don't join your school I would love to as I really want to become can better upholsterer you always cutcyour video short you leave us hanging is that the way you run your shop wok left in done way you change your ways and complete a project and I will be your first paying student I'm upset because I'm working on a set of chairs now and having trouble with the corners
