+MBCustoms1 You are welcome! and thanks for watching these videos!

I am glad the video is useful! Thanks for watching!

hdflame Hi Bobby, what a nice surprise to hear from you!!! ...Thanks for kind remarks!!! I have started a series of 'basic upholstery videos' on youtube, very important to understan d and, easily carry out 'real size upholstey projects' in a very near future. All of these videos will be free on youtube...I wanted to sell them, but, not at all, so... I have quite a lot of material. I only would have for sale, some complex designs. Regarding the steering wheel tutorials, I already have the methods to easily wrap a wheel, even without being an upholsterer. Regards, Cesar

Cechaflo I always enjoy watching your videos. I always pick up some little trick that you do that makes my upholstery work easier or better! Have you made a video on actually making a pattern of the steering wheel? Just curious if you had a trick on patterning that you could share. As always, keep making your great videos. You are a true artist, my friend! Thanks, Bobby

hdflame Hi Bobby, Thanks again for your kind remarks! ...There are still more tips to share. In regard to, steering-whels, as a matter of fact,yes!...it is possible to get templates if we follow certain 'tricks', taking into account that the stretching of leather behaves different than vinyl. Vinyl stretches gradually and uniform; leather of course has its streching side, but it is irregular, because some parts are stiffer. Check these video clips: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eisCbf7SMAQ.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VTY6uWmRUzY.html I will post a related video pretty soon that teaches an easy and fast way to leather wrap a wheel, even, without being or having knowledge as an upholsterer...I will use a basic method that would take us to patterning procedures.

jon2oo6spb You're welcome!

Doug Reyes Thanks for watching my videos! I use a yellow glue most of the upholsterers, shoemakers and leather artisans use...it's a kind of solvent/neoprene glue which comes in cans or glass bottles. I apply it by using a brush or a spatula. www.homedepot.com/p/DAP-32-fl-oz-Weldwood-Original-Contact-Cement-00272/100125525 www.tandyleather.com/en-usd/home/department/leather-cement-glue/2525-360.aspx www.google.com.mx/search?q=yellow+contact+cement&espv=2&biw=1093&bih=514&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=evKdVePuA5KnyAS9-LrYBg&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ

Bo Lindgren Hi Bo, Happy the video is useful ! ...My son's the cameraman...he's been training for quite a while during free times, because, he attends the university to study computarized systems...he's also the guy in charge of the videos...I'm only a humble upholsterer(LOL)

Cechaflo Haha! A humble upholsterer with a bright son! Not bad at all! The videos are excellent with very nice close ups. Kudos to your son also!

I have not tryed, yet. But I am sure the machine would skive vinyl the same as if it were leather.

Hello John, In car upholstery is advisable for welting/piping a solid plastic piping.

@@CechafloThank you!

Denise Thuman Thanks for watching my video! ...the glue is a 'yellowish glue' most of the upholsterers, shoemakers and leather artisans use...it sticks hard and is flexible...the standard glue for wood is white and stiff...although, a yellow glue is applied to stick formica...it comes in cans or bottles and is applied with a brush or spatula.
