I'm new to this kind of wood working -- I would like to see if you could give me some tips on my woodworking so far . I think you do great work.

@karimonster 2 года назад

Just a few tips for next time (I'm not an upholsterer, but a sewist and a costumier) Fishing line for your tufts. Use a heavy gauge. The thread itself will be invisible, the tufts will still work beautifully, and its a lot stronger and more sturdy than embroidery thread. You also should do tufts before you glue the plywood on ;) You want to hit your fabric pen X on the outsides and aim for the middle out the back because you're gonna pull them real tight (which is what sinks it in and creates the tuft) For your corners, cut a line in the corner like you're going to miter them. It gives you more control over the excess fabric and the pleats you're trying to create. It also handles the problem of excess fabric in the corners in the first place. You can use your band saw or a jigsaw to cut your foam. Its a lot easier and cleaner. And I'm not mad :) But for as much as I've learned about wood-working from you, maybe I can share something I know in exchange to make the process easier for you next time!

@errolpereira8292 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing!

@lundyswoodcrease5876 2 года назад

Certainly helps me out! I was wondering about the fabric in the corners. Now I want to do some upholstering.

@BrianKlatt 2 года назад

I used to do upholstery in a furniture factory to work my way through university. Top marks for getting it done and looking very good from the front which is where it counts. one tip that will save you a lot of effort and frustration for next time. Use an upholstery needle that has its eye near the pointy end. The longer the needle the better. from the back push the empty needle from the back ( in this case through the plywood) to the front. STOP as soon as you have the eye fully visible. Thread the needle and just pull the needle back out the back pulling the "THREAD" with it. If you are using buttons made up at the upholsterer's shop (covered with your fabric for example) you would just loop the upholstery cord through the eye in the button and then both ends of the cord through the eye of the needle and pull it back through the cushion al at one time.

@IncongruousFox 2 года назад

fellow sewist here! firstly for stretching the fabric over the foam and plywood - do what artists do when stretching canvases and tack in the centre of each side of your rectangle at the start. this keeps the centre under 4-way tension and prevents your fabric shifting as you work + on each side, go outwards from the centre. on a non-pattern/densely woven fabric it's not so obvious but if your fabric shifts too much the grain will be noticeably wonky

@IncongruousFox 2 года назад

also - agree about the mitred corners - you often see quilters doing this. you can pull the fabric together and make what looks like a triangle, standing up vertically, to cut excess fabric then fold the raw edges under; if you are worried about things shifting you can use a slip stitch to keep both edges of the mitre together. or you can just chop off the excess fabric and do pleats i guess. re tufting: you could do it before the plywood, but since this was an afterthought - maybe drill bigger holes next time? and tie threads from different holes together, that could work? buttons will make tufting look nicer, but then you need matching fabric-covered buttons or have to cover them yourself, so... pros and cons.

@gabriellafletcher4969 Год назад

After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans ru-vid.comUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG i was very impressed. The whole plan was just as you said in the video. Thank you very much. I now have a large and valuable collection for my woodworks. This is great!

@carlproduces 2 года назад

My only thought after watching this was that walnut buttons in the tufts would look amazing. Since that has been said, I will just say thank you for tackling something unknown and showing the process of accomplishing it.

@rogergregerson348 2 года назад

There is an easier way to thread needles through foam and fabric, they make a double ended needle in lengths from 6" to 36" long. I am an upholsterer with 52 years experience. Also, when you do the corners, start in the center and work out pulling the fabric straight, this will give you straight pleats, which look better. The way that you attached the ends of your strings is the way we di also, so 100% for that. On the whole if my Apprentice presented me with that job without any previous training, I would be really encouraged that His or Her prospects in the industry were excellent, provided that they were prepared to listen and learn. On the whole a good attempt, 70%, with 100% for effort and initiate.

This video was educational, inspirational and comical. It teaches one to experiment, learn by doing and not be afraid of trying something new. The best was your humor. If there was Oscar for genre called DIY humor, u would be a worthy nominee.

@leebernardo1000 2 года назад

To cut out foam rubber you take it to your bandsaw. It works perfectly and leaves you with smooth edges. Thats how the furniture companies do it.

@grapheist612 Год назад

This was my first thought, too.

@funnyguy55able 2 года назад

next time map out the holes on the ply wood before you upholster. Drill those holes out with a half inch bit then stick the foam on. Now you can drive the needle through the hole making sure its level. Use a button for a more finished look. once you have both strings on the back slide simply use the stapler to attach it to the back of the plywood creating a Z pattern for strength. I absolutely love your wood projects. you've inspired me to get reacquainted with my woodshop tools. Keep up the great content.

@DrewpieDrew 2 года назад

I know nothing about upholstery and I prefer the look that you created, truth be told... But... In a video I once saw, the upholsterer cut out 1 inch or so holes in the foam all the way through and used buttons. The back board was two small holes and then they simply pulled tight and tied off. They made it look easy, as you do with woodwork... aaaand I find both utterly baffling. Cheers for the awesome content!

@budwoodman1716 2 года назад

Looks great !! The only thing I might have done differently is to try and find some small round Walnut colored buttons and include them in the center of the tufts. Against that green material, I think that would really pop. But remember this, I personally know even less than you do about upholstery., lol......

I also watch a man named Chester who has probably been doing upholstery and woodworking all his life in one form or another. I think he comes from a family of furniture makers. He is a master and his videographer/editor is a genius. You are so entertaining and fun so I delight in watching both of you. You made your headboard perfectly.

@ThatUpholsteryGuy Год назад

I'm an upholsterer and aspiring woodworker, I love watching your videos and have seen many but this one might be my favourite 🤣 It was painful to watch at times but hilarious and honestly considering you had no idea what you were doing, you did an ok job. I saw the video where you came to England to build a bed with a subscriber, If you fancy another visit for an upholstery lesson hit me up. 👌

@TheLovelyMissBeans 2 года назад

Good video! Glad to see you aren't afraid to try something new and admit when you have no idea what you are doing! I have made a couple upholstered headboards, and I sew, so here are my two cents: Drill your hole bigger in the first place and usually will have less problems finding it. Have someone work the front side while you worm the back side, so you can keep things aligned and get clean, tight tufts. Use upholstery thread. It is much stronger, almost like the kind used to make seat belts. If you use a piece of pegboard, it will make planning out where all your drill holes go so much easier! Alternatives to fabric pen: chalk, washable crayons, or bar soap (this is my favorite...it quite literally cleans itself off!)

@Maxid1 2 года назад

DeWalt, and I'm sure every other company, makes a snap off razor blade knife. I almost never use the snap offs because I inevitably use it like a sword. (It's about a 6 inch blade all the way extended). Cutting rigid insulation and the like. Would be great for cutting soft foam.

@alero666 2 года назад

BUD. When im working on a project in my shop I have your vids on even though its diffrent than what Im working on . I find that i pick up alot of tips and for some reason to hear your voice in the back ground helps me work through to tough spots. Im new to this wood working and make lots of mistakes but i am having a blast. You make me laugh which is good . From up here in northern Canada keep doing what your doing. Ill be here watching.

Thank you for your creative sense of humor! It has made my day more than once. You are truly a craftsman and I’ve leaned so much watching you for the last year. God bless you and your beautiful family. May you have a very Merry Christmas and a healthy and wildly prosperous New Year!

@KimKinzer 2 года назад

There is an upholstery twine that’s strong, opt for that. Tuft first, then finish off. One big drill hole. Shortcut, cut a grid pattern on the front it will make the tufts look more tuffy. Have someone push on the front while you grab either some cotton or a finishing nail to tie it off. A button will make it easier to pull and push. Then with the corners you can trim the fabric to reduce the bulk and make it smoother. My grandpa was an upholsterer and taught my parents while I was the button pusher. But for a newbie improvising… this looks good. Nice job, just have to practice the even pulls. Like sanding it takes time. It’s also good for developing strong hands.

@justinokirk 2 года назад

Time for a collab with Kim's Upholstery! Their channel has some great videos on this and similar operations. The secret weapon was a length of aluminum conduit mounted on a drill driver to cut out the holes for the tufting needle through the foam.

@andrewwilson8032 2 года назад

@minjin0259 2 года назад

For cutting thick foam really quickly, use a hacksaw blade and a blow torch. It will go through the foam like a, well, hot hacksaw blade through foam. That's what I use for cutting out foam in gun cases.

@marcomandra6775 2 года назад

Let me just say I’ve learned lots watching your videos! I am an Architect with some novice wood working skills and construction background. I did however work on high-end yachts for a few summers whenI I was in college and when we reupholstered the seats we always used a spray adhesive in addition to the staples. This helped keep the fabric in place, helped reduced any wrinkles, and gave additional strength. Just some added knowledge for your tool set. Keep making cool stuff!

@michaelcristofano5863 2 года назад

Read some of the comments, sounded like some good suggestions. When I was a younger man who knew nothing about upholstering or wood working I decided to make a upholstered headboard to attach to a regular metal frame. Because I lived in a small apartment in a big city I went back to my parents home in the suburbs. I became stumped very quickly and went to my Dad, the engineer for help. To make a long story short the tufted headboard turned out OK but the memory of working and learning with my father was perfect! Thanks for bringing that memory up for me with your headboard video.

@gtuttle4 2 года назад

I'm no expert by any means but have made two headboards. I did the button and tuft before stapling the fabric to the back of headboard. This will give a deeper tuft and more control over the pleats. Another tip for the corners, you can cut some of the material to give it a more smooth look. Still looks nice!

That was fun to watch. Good that you used batting, it is what keeps fabric nicely stretched and wrinkle free.

@danarsenault1545 2 года назад

One thing I found handy to do was to use the spray adhesive to adhere the batting to the foam. Then, on the surface of the batting, spray come silicone lube to allow the canvas or vinyl to freely pull over it. If you hadn't done the tufts, I would suggest that you drill a few 1" holes in the back to allow air to move, otherwise you get that suction thing going on when you compress the foam and it slowly sucks the air back in.

For cutting the foam you should have used your bandsaw. When I have to cut foam and it will fit on my 14" saw that is always the best way. I also have a cutter dedicated to cutting foam that is nothing more than a scroll saw or sabre saw with a really long blade enclosed in a really long guide.

@LloydManning 2 года назад

little tip for next time on your foam you should mark up the postions of the tuffs and then using a hole saw cut out holes that are 20mm in diameter but dont go through the timber, then in the center of them mark up and drill 10mm holes; what this does if give you a little void to poke your needle through.

@robertranney3054 2 года назад

As long as the headboard isn't going to face a ton of punishment, you could always just make a sturdy frame and use thick pegboard under the foam, batting, and fabric. That way there is no drilling required, you figure out the pattern on the back, make sure you are poking the upholstery needle through straight and level, and it gets done a heck of a lot faster. You can still cover that up with another board when finished if you are worried about the appearance of the pegboard, and even add a bit more structural sturdiness that way as well. Also agree with many on here pointing out the need for buttons in your tufting. You can buy little metal craft cover buttons and as long as you aren't using a ridiculously thick fabric you can just duplicate the fabric used on the headboard. That or change the color, go lighter or darker, or even go with various colors to better match the room's color scheme/style. Also for those looking to do this, be prepared for sticker shock when you go to buy furniture foam and batting. That stuff is ridiculously expensive (that or perhaps it was just a Covid supply issue markup when I went shopping for it). I was awfully tempted to just go thrift store shopping for a piece of furniture that had a bunch of sturdy foam I could re-use, but my wife's aghast look when I mentioned this thought made me think again.

Thank you! It brought me back years ago! As a month-long "week-end project", I built a "tantra chair" about 4 years ago in very similar conditions, just without any skill in woodworking either, it took ages but turned out pretty well. I learnt a footlong carving knife works fine on foam, palette wood makes perfect slats and cutting the foam flush to the board is fine if you're pulling strong enough. I used PVC fake leather and studs, no tuffs, and learnt that studs are incredibly fragile under a hammer while you're pulling the leather, one stud each side at a time (this type of chair is only made of curves!). Is upholstery foam the same awfully expensive in US? It was by far the biggest part of the project.

Look around in your area for an upholstery supply store and spend less than half of what those two piece of foam will cost you at JoAnns. My place will cut it to size for me and laminate different densities of foam together to get the degree of firmness that I want. I once took them a cushion that I stitched up. They beveled the edge, added the batting, and stuffed it in there for me. I think I paid eight bucks. If all you have is JoAnns, then you do what you gotta do. However, in a town with an upholstery supply shop, friends don't let friends by foam at JoAnns.

Winging it is the best solution to most building projects.

Love the bed. The headboard isn’t exactly my style but I stuck with it to the end because I appreciate your learning on the fly and, more importantly, I loved the instrumental cover of the Jimmie Dale Gilmore song in your music track.
