Now people will understand and close their jaws after it’s dropped after getting an estimate from an upholsterer. It takes years of skill and knowledge and it’s an art. I took a course on these traditional methods but we learned how to use tacks. It was very, very difficult and a ton of work and very, very time consuming. Thanks so much all the closeups of the little details … I learned so much!
So true. My father was in the business for over 40 years. I worked with him in his shop and people would gasp hearing the price for a re-upholstery job.
So fascinating to watch. I tried this about 40 years ago but the teacher was very impatient. There were 5 of us students. I was the second to quit and sadly the rest followed soon after. He was very condescending especially to us 2 females. You make me want to get out my old tools and give it another try! Thanks.
Strangely enough, I also took upholstery classes about 40 years ago. In NJ, though. I was fortunate because my teacher was very patient and helpful, supplying tools (though some we had to buy), and doing extra bits that required sewing. You need a special heavy-duty sewing machine with that kind of fabric. I'm watching this now because I am thinking of doing a few of my old chairs-- one that I had just bought shortly after taking those classes. (I reupholstered 2 chairs during the class; then hired the instructor to do a couch that coordinated with it. He did a great job.)
@@marigeobrienHello, I am considering taking lessons and learn this so I can re upholster some old chairs I got from my grandmother. There are no springs just "stuffing" in them. Do you think this is a realistic idea or does it take years of practice before one start to get it right? Thank you very much!
This video gives me more appreciation to those who do upholstery especially on older pieces of furniture. I’ve learned so much from watching your video n definitely this one. I would love to try my hand at it but unfortunately I’ve got arthritis in wrists n hands. Thank you so much for taking the time for sharing n explaining many of the things you do n why. ♥️♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I am preparing to restore a mid-1800, extremely elaborate sofa that is literally falling to pieces. I need springs, webbing, fabric, wood repair, little wheels for the feet, everything! It must weigh at least 150 pounds. Has wood shavings, horsehair, etc. It was given to me for FREE because the owner didn't want to mess with it! It's gorgeous and I can't wait to restore it.
I am thrilled to have found your tutorial. The production is so professional that it enabled me to understand certain techniques far quicker, easier, and in more detail than a 9 month college course I attended, and paid ‘handsomely’ for. Thank you. I’m now a subscriber.
This is exactly the tutorial I needed for the vintage rocker I found in the alley. Already ordered fabric. Need a few mire supplies and to do sone repairs. Thanks to your channel I’m confident I can fix it. Not as good as you, but better than I would have. I am so excited I can’t wait to be able to sit in this rocking chair.
Never would have viewed a job such as this one to be simple, but now to see the knowledge, skill, and experience required was both interesting and fascinating.
Thank you so much for making this a little more of a “how to” video as opposed to just a cursory restoration video. I especially appreciate the notes indicating points of interest such as the different types of needles, knots, alignment tips, etc. It is inspiring me to consider tackling an upholstery project. I would love to see how tufted upholstery with buttons is done. Thanks again for a wonderfully instructive video!
Inside my cushion I used used value village cushions( the ones that form to your head and stay cool) as well as the horse hair (it came with) I only added new materials and recovered my old chair with leather that came from a jacket my Mom bought me 20 years before she passed. Funny how everyone loves sitting in that old chair nice job just love watching someone work/. my fingers are still sore from caneing a wicker couch on wrought iron/ After paying me to fix it and she gave me all the materials to do the job she ended up backing out and said just keep it. I hadn't even started but it looks good in my yard. I feel very blessed watching You work
Just... Wow😍 YOU ARE THE ONE!! I really love your work, the detail, the patience and the love you give to every piece of furniture... You are my idol. Regards from Guadalajara, México.
Great job 👍. I’m an upholsterer myself, we’re the last of a dying breed lol. The only advice I would give you is to cover your work table with some kind of fabric (not vinyl because the pieces you work on will stick to it) so you don’t scratch the show wood. I was getting nervous looking st the arms on the bare table 😂.
Like Shelley I always wanted to try this. I did do a few chairs and a small wooden sofa. How I wish this video was around then! It is always good watching a master craftsman at work. You are one of the best, thank you
❤ Rewelacja ❤ Jest Pan bardzo utalentowany.Ta renowacja ,krok po kroku ,pokazała pańskie ogromne umiejętności. Gratuluję wiedzy i talentu. Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski.❤❤❤❤
I tried and failed but I bit off more than a mouthful. I'll try again on something smaller and work up.😮i wa5ch other people do this and find myself saying, "you secured that strap incorrectly..." , or, "your spring ties are tot properly shaped for that seat...' etc, but wheni tried i bollixed it up myself.😊 You always do such an incredible job! It doesn't look easy, exactly, but the whole process is so smooth i can get lulled into thinking that you make it look easy.... I'm babbling. A pleasure as always!❤❤❤
Bien por este profesional.. También he sido tapicero cuando no existían las pistolas neumáticas. Un trabajo excepcional el tuyo. Me ha hecho recordar cuando empecé a los diez años cuando ayudaba en el taller de tapicería de mi familia. Ha sido muy bueno para mi, poder recordar esos tiempos pasados. Saludos desde Valencia (España) 👻👻👻💚🇪🇸
Admirável seu trabalho! Digno da categoria de artesão, maravilhoso, lindo. A como seria maravilhoso se tds trabalhassem assim! Excelência em capricho e qualidade. PARABÉNS!
Wow. There is a crazy amount of work that goes into traditional upholstery. But I'm betting all the attention to detail really pays off in terms of making comfortable and durable furniture. Although it looks like at a number of points you elected to go with modern methods and materials. Staples, hot glue, and probably the type of padding used as well. Among other examples. Probably because these were legitimate improvements over what was done in the past. Either because of the time involved or because of improvements in tools or materials. Much like you use power tools to repair wood rather than the tools that were originally used to build the piece. But the end result is still very similar.
Now people will understand and close their jaws after it’s dropped after getting an estimate from an upholsterer. It takes years of skill and knowledge and it’s an art. I took a course on these traditional methods but we learned how to use tacks. It was very, very difficult and a ton of work and very, very time consuming.

Upholstery takes a lot of time to learn.

Отличный ремонт!

Your video tutorials are helping to preserve a vanishing craft. They will continue teaching long after you are gone. What a legacy!
Best video yet that I've found showing the process of rebuilding the upholstery of a stripped bare frame to finished piece. Thank you!
If you want to see another masterupholsterer watch buckminster upholstery🙋🏼♀️🌷🇱🇺
Best tutorial video I’ve ever seen! It’s one you want to save permanently for reference!
I never dreamed that there was so much tedious work going into restoring an antique chair bottom!!
And this is why truly quality furniture is so expensive. The amount of time, detail and care that goes into making it. Fascinating!
Whatever you are charging, it is not enough! What an incredible amount of knowledge and skill you have.

There are only two youtubers whose videos I always look forward to, you are one of them. Greetings from Hesse.
Excellent - the first time I have seen the corners stitched off correctly . This video is a very good guide to upholstering .
Your upholstery work is wonderful. The attention to detail is impeccable. Beautiful final result
It looks like it belongs to the museum! So perfect!
Just the video I was looking for. Thank you. And thanks for not playing that annoying banjo music you hear on videos of this type! Subscribed.
You made that look so easy (which I know for a fact it isn't). You are a true master. Thanks for sharing this.
Good job!
You were born to keep history alive.
Congratulations!

I am so impressed with this man’s skill. I will try this with my chair. I pray I’m able to finish the job. Sir! My hat is off to YOU!

That is going to be a very comfortable chair.
Excellent! Wonderful to see a craftsman using all-natural materials!

Thank you for the in-depth look at this interesting process. Your work is beautiful!

Well what can one say?... WOW 👍🎓
