Amazing! Brings back memories of my father. He was a master craftsman like you. He's been dead for 25yrs. and I didn't take up the trade. I can do basic stuff. Didn't think anyone "spit tacks" anymore, I used to try that before staples.
many years ago now, it was a 5 year apprenticeship to learn this kind of upholstery. so it doesn't come cheap, there is a lot involved, in the work he does.
Great video, interesting content. We have an antique similar to this with horsehair & silk brocade fabric. The cost to redo is astronomical & now I see why.
I agree great job! But the irony is that this wasn't Made in the USA, but France. Reupholstering a single piece of furniture is different than manufacturing thousands of brand new items! Although, agreed that more manufacturing should return if only we could afford the higher costs.
He really is an artist and makes it look easy but I know it's not. If I tried that it would take me two years and it would end up looking like a horse with a bad hair cut.
if you paid the same price directly to a craftsman that you pay for quality furniture at a furniture store, we'd both be happy. Its the middleman-marketing profit machine that is the death of craftsmanship.
I don't think the hot glue was apart of the traditional re-upholstery style of work...... other than that I would say good job. Hot glue is a NO NO in my book. Master Cosplayer here and I wouldn't touch the stuff at all for anything I do.
Its videos like this that angers me when I hear manufacturing jobs are moving to China. You will never find this level of workmanship and precision in a Made in China product. Only in the USA. I wish you were in NJ. I would hire you right now. Great Job and keep up the good work. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
