If videos like this were available to me when I was a teenager, my life would have taken a completely different path. It's a privilege to see first hand an artist like this at work, explaining the technical details this way. This is the best part of RU-vid. 💙

Thank you! If I had videos like this 47 years ago (when I was 19) my career would have been off like a rocket.

Agreed Chris, I definitely could have seen myself as an upholstered had I learned about it many years ago. Now I do it just for fun

This is awesome! I’m currently working on an 1890’s rocking chair, very similar to yours and my plan was to use cowhide! Thank you for this video.

@jgallagher0301 Год назад

Hello, you make it look so easy. I was wondering if you could recommend a specific thread when reupholstering a gym bench. Could you also tell me the needle size to use in the machine.

@Buckminsterupholstery Год назад

For the most part, I've been using Sunbrella brand thread. For years I used #69 nylon. Off hand, I can't tell you the gauge needle. #22 comes to mind. ? Suffice it to say, use a large gauge needle to help prevent skipping stitches.

@mchakust4869 2 года назад

Can you tell please what cord do you use? I just start my first project and very new in it)

@Buckminsterupholstery 2 года назад

@wild8000 2 года назад

I am planning to use a hair on hide from an Eland to reupholster an antique settee I just purchased, and the hide appears to be a bit thicker the calf hide you are using. I'm wondering if you could recommend a brand of pneumatic stapler to purchase.

@Buckminsterupholstery 2 года назад

I'm no expert on staple guns. If you've seen my Duo-Fast gun, it's 45 years old and staples are not as readily available as they used to be. I'm OK with my BeA 80 series gun for heavy applications. The 70 series might be a good choice. (I think that's a size smaller comparable to my Duo-Fast.?)

@alluringskull1679 6 месяцев назад

@8:26 curious what your using over the staples as your hammering in the tacks?

@Buckminsterupholstery 6 месяцев назад

That is a vinyl gimp I purchased over forty years ago, and hasn't been available for many years. I doubt I have enough to do another seat. I have a video showing use of carpet binding to make a similar trim.
