That was definitley the most complicated upholstery job I've ever seen on RU-vid. This after another video of a young woman using spray adhesive the glue fabric to a chair and "tucking in" the edges. Not that she declared it to be professional in any way! But this kinda cured me of having a go at it myself, LOL! Very cool to find a piece you had done when you started out as well!
Wow! This is my 1st time watching this channel & I’m glad to have found it👍🏻🤗👏🏻! Watching a meticulously talented craftsman at work, using his knowledge, experience, skill, & love to create this beautiful chair for his son-in-law was a pleasure! I wish I knew of an equally talented upholsterer in my town!! What an impressive transformation👍🏻🤗👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!! Thank you for creating & sharing this video!! The editing was equally awesome!! Well done by both men - you’re a great team!!
Such detailed craftsmanship! I watched this video from start to finish! Thank you for the thorough step by step. Looking forward to more videos in the future.
In a previous video about fixing a couch cushion, you mentioned using k grip adhesive vs spray can adhesive for cost savings. Just wondering, why did you decide to use American Niagara 160 in this case? Thanks for all the great videos!
When I had another 1/2 gallon of K-grip go stiff in the jug I decided that buying a case of spray adhesive was more efficient in the long run (for my uses). Thank you for tuning in.
Hi, why did you sew the green fabric on the opposite side ? Thank you so much for sharing and teaching us all your beautiful upholstery. I love your classes a lot.
Beautiful work, such attention to details!! I have 2 questions; was that cardboard tack strip? It appeared to be like a veneer when you worked it across the front. Also, what is the purpose of the flap at the bottom of the outside back? Thank you for sharing your expertise and for taking the time to help us grow on our upholstery journey!!
Yes, "extra-heavy" tack strip. The flap is simply cosmetic and used to finish the profile straight across the back. I've worked on many frames like this. Some designs had a skirt, either pleated or panels all the way around and didn't require the flap. Keep on growing!
