This upholstered foot stool has two loose legs that need to be repaired. The only way to repair it is to remove the upholstery. This might seem intimidating but once you've seen how it's done, you may feel more comfortable tackling a project like this. Restoring furniture is a processes of understanding the craft, the processes, and most importantly, strong problem solving.
This foot stool has many layers that make up the upholstery. From the finish material on top through to the worn out webbing providing support. For details showing all the layers and the purpose they solve, refer to the Reference Sheet on the Fixing Furniture Community - visit www.fixingfurn...

Anyone else here because they inherited some vintage furniture? Can't wait to try this on my grandmother's old stool 😊

I was so excited with the sponsor you had for this channel. Went out to order some hoosier parts and their Skelton key assortment. They called me on a question for my order for the tambour straping. Even after realizing I had ordered 25', apologized for bothering me. Said no that is great customer service. He said call us anytime you have a question. I mentioned that I got their sire from the sponsorship of your channel. Was happy to hear that. Thanks again for all you projects. All great info I have used from time to time on my repairs!!😊😊

Hi, regular viewer. 😁 Hyde glue is used in the event the piece may need to be taken apart again in the future. Its the oldest type of glue used. Congrats on your channels growth.

@who7056 Месяц назад

Thanks so much for your calm 3 31:40 1:37 instructional videos WITHOUT any music. Silence truly is golden! Wait! There is some music now but it’s soothing and not interrupting when you speak. It’s pretty bad when the music is annoying and louder than the person speaking. This was very nice, but even without any music at all, it would have been just as nice. This is coming from someone who loves music, but I think as everything, there’s a time and place for it. Thanks again! ☺️

@FixingFurniture Месяц назад

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. I edit my own videos and I find it's an art of timing, balance, sound, and composition. I have a musical background so perhaps I'm more sensitive to it than other editors?

@who7056 Месяц назад

Probably! Yes, and thank you for your response. I love your videos!

@pablobarros610 Месяц назад

Absolutely love this piece! I grow tired of the "perfect restoration" videos on RU-vid. These types of refurbs give the piece alot of character, and makes it feel more welcomed in a home. Kudos!
