Such a great video, I do work here in Brazil with upholstery since 2018, and I knowed every part of this video, I wish I can work with bigger cenarios one day! My biggest job was to work with yatchs seats 😁
Loving your videos. All useful information and as mentioned no music is also good. Can I ask if you used a t90 thread would you use the same in the bobbin? Thanks I’m advance
Ustam süper oldu, ellerine kollarına sağlık. Sanırım ben bunu yapamam. Çünkü orjinal kılıfı çıkarıp, dikiş yerlerinden söküp kalıp olarak kullanıyorsunuz. Ya kendi arabamın orjinal kılıfını söküp, dikemezsem. Büyük risk😱😥. Öğrenmek için daha fazla çalışmalıyım 😀🙋
Hi John, are you able to make tailored covers that fit perfectly over the top of seats? I’ve been wanting to make them myself but I’m not sure about how to get the layout of the seat for the seat covers. Any advice?
I remember over 25 years ago walking into a factory where cocky 19 year old me had got a job operating a plastic moulding press. I watched the guy who was supposedly the best operator for a few minutes. It looked really easy. He reached in a box and grabbed 6 rubber rings, juggled them about in his hands for a few seconds, then pushed them all flat into a water-cooled mould, pressed 2 buttons, and checked some numbers on a screen as he waited for a 2nd mould to come back with plastic moulded onto the rubber and fired them off the moulds. He stood there nonchalantly waiting for a while after preparing the next 6 rubber rings. It took 29-30 seconds to do one cycle, the press computer display said so. Where he was waiting for the press, on my first shift, cycles took nearly 40 seconds - the press was waiting for me. Those bastard rings never went in properly. I had an unacceptable level of rejects where there was rubber poking through the plastic. Fast-forward 6 months and I was the top press operator. I knew just how to wrap my thumbs in fabric tape and coat them with silicon - just enough not to leave residues on the rubber, how to tune the injection moulding time and temps to their optimum for the atmospheric conditions, which rubber rings to reject, and had developed such dexterity at a process I did 800-1000 times a day that I could do it without looking, twice as fast as the press could go. I read 3 novels a week on clipboard at work doing it. This taught me a valuable lesson in life about how easy something that seems straightforward can be made to look by somebody who is very good at it. I strongly suspect that applies to this video as well!
Nathan gentile Hi it’s called scrim foam, some people call it sew foam, it comes in various thicknesses. I generally use 10mm for the centres and 6mm elsewhere. Thanks for watching John
That’s a difficult question to answer, it’s all relative what someone thinks is good could be bad for someone else. If you are not happy with the job you received there is obviously something not right! It’s best to talk to the trimmer and see if he can rectify the parts you are unhappy with. Good luck with it I hope you get it sorted John
