You are not only a great upholsterer but also an excellent and thoughtful teacher! Keep up the good work! Thank you!

I’m just getting started in upholstery. Been a paint and body tech for 30 years. This video (and the others I’ve watched on your channel) have been extremely helpful in getting me started out. Thanks so much for passing on your decades of knowledge and experience.

The best tool you have in my opinion is "the table around your sewing machine" - nice work surface for handling material for prepping and sewing! I've been messing around with Auto upholstery for my own vehicles, I'm not a professional even though I have several industrial sewing machines. Nice videos!

Your videos are 10 out of 10, my friend. Very helpful. I've been playing around with vinyl and learning on my Singer 5511. It's a great skill to have in the tool box and your videos are certainly in my tool box in the top drawer! haha Thanks for what you do!

Good day, Rudy! Thank you for sharing these tips and tricks.

What type of glue do you use? LOL! Just kidding! Ive upholstered for almost 40 years, (automotive and corporate aviation) , and I love your videos! Keep up the great work!

Thanks for going over this. I know I've asked you a couple questions before but I'm always down for a refresher. You're a real inspiration and I'm glad to have you as a teacher.

That Juki is a nice machine! I'm still running a 70-something year old Singer 111 W, for most of my upholstery work. It's like an old tank. 😆

Great video, however you did forget just a couple of things. A heavy dose of ambition and a great singing voice. Just in case.

You're a great teacher, you should take on an apprentice. Keep your legacy going. Thank you for sharing, you do great work and are inspiring others.

Good array of tools and explanation. Almost forgot good humour

I learned a lot in this one, thank you! 😊

Good information buddy. Thx for sharing this with us all. I reupholstered an old Cris craft cabin cruiser once. Took it all apart and used it for a pattern and borrowed my Mother’s sewing machine lol. Turned out good but I had no idea what I was doing lol. I was wondering about many of the things that you covered in this video. Thx again 👍🏻✌🏻

Awesome video! Appreciate you taking the time to show us these tools. I will start to learn upholstery soon( have to clean garage and make a table) I have two machines a Juki LU-562 ( got for free and works) and a Mitzi LU401-25BCT ( got from a friend who retired for $500) now need to start buying the tools you mentioned.

Thanks for making this video.

Great video about the basics. Thanks, Rudy.

Great info Thanks for your videos.

i really like your table, shelf underneath to store things ,painted white to see things better . you said it was 60 inches wide . could you tell me how long and tall it is ? i would like to make one similar to yours. it's not much fun fighting it the way i've been with my dining room table!

What a great video series you have! I’ve done some seat recovering/repair in my hobby cars and recently started to wonder if it would be a good business to start in retirement. Thanks for your videos.

Funny, my mom used to Sew boat interiors, and canvas covers for our Chris crafts and correct craft boats take cushions completely apart and recover them to match the interior sew blue jeans from scratch blouses you name it all on an old slant singer, which back in the day cost as much as a used car.

Yes they do get expensive I make holsters and belts my cobra class 4 was $3900 my used consew 227 was $1000 and my Thompson walking foot was giving to me but it’s around $400-$500 the only problem with the consew is it doesn’t have reverse the consew 227R has reverse I also have about 14 other machines some were handed down the others I purchased I don’t use them all I just collect them but let me tell you even though they are expensive they are worth it the cobra class 4 has I think a 16”-18” arm with reverse and will sew 3/4” tooling leather all is a blessing from God

With your sewing machines- it pays to know how to correct your timing- spend the extra cash to learn from your maintenance guy so you can troubleshoot before your have to spend money to get it looked at (at least in my experience it has saved money!)

Very informative and easy to follow as always. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us. I already have a big compressor and most of the people that follow you may as well. For the total newbie would you recommend a small pancake compressor or a larger one? My opinion has always been buy the best you can afford. If you're doing 1 project then maybe a small one but otherwise I like having growth capability. Have a blessed day sir.

Great video Rudy! You nailed everything on the head. All these years I’ve had to put a sheet of plywood on saw horses to use as a work table. My shop is an old service gas station. Not much room to build a work table. What is your website?

T50 stapler, cloth tape measure. Seam foot. welting foot set. 1/8 to 3/8 for putting on welt through material for different sizes of welt. Also a foam saw is nice for shaping foam. Sander for foam shaping.

good day I like your videos I just start watching my question is what psi you used on the spray gun for glue and do you have a video on how to do roof top upholstery

Like !!!!!

My Dewalt 15 gallon compressor is too noisy; looking for a smaller quieter compressor I can keep in the shop. Have you found something smaller, with enough capacity to spray the glue? Thanks! Great Video!!

Sigh...only in dreams will I ever have a Juki 2810, such a great machine. I'm using a Consew Model 18, with a foot that lifts [via a Moon pedal on a bicycle chain] only 1/3 as high, is temperamental with regard to thread tension, no reverse so you have to do 4-D chess to get nonpulling seams, hates my guts, is one complete bastard and may as well be made by Caterpillar, but it's a very good teacher. Maybe it will help me earn enough for a better machine. Thanks for sticking w/ us, Rudy.

Rudy, a question about spray guns. I was looking at one I saw online with the following description: BEETRO HVLP Touch Up Air Spray Gun for Clearcoats 1.0mm Stainless Steel Nozzle 150ml Capacity 7.0CFM 22psi with Type 2 Adapter Air Control Valve and Filter. What size opening do you recommend for spraying adhesive?

Hello Boss, What size air compressor do you use in your shop ? I have a small one now but not sure if it'll be big enough. thanks buddy, love the scary box cutters too.

Were did you buy yo.ur welt feet. Mark Tennessee 😊

There seems to have been some kind of technical difficulty at the end of the video. I was unable to see how you cleaned with that roll of paper towels. 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍

What do you mark leather with?

👍👍😎

I’ve had stitching come apart on my 46 year old drivers seat. Overall it’s very nice material (vinyl) it’s not ripped just the stitching. Is it possible to restitch or is it weak from age having been sewn before and just get a new panel.

What kind of steam machine do you use?

Thanks Rudy. Where are you located. Ed from Lawton Ok

What brand of glue gun?

Must be "Spray Grade " folks

You're a great teacher, you should take on an apprentice. Keep your legacy going. Thank you for sharing, you do great work and are inspiring others.
