Hey Neil, found your channel a few weeks back, took it upon myself to refill my sagging leather couch with foam and polyester, added new webbing using the upholstery nails n a mallet. Had to work from bottom of the couch to top as it is a non removable seat cushions and back cushions. I think the sofa is over 20 years I think I’ll get another 10 out of it. Thanks for your very knowledgeable videos about the materials and methods of work. Good luck for 2023.
That’s great to hear, thank you for sharing! So glad my videos are helpful enough for people to follow. Have a great 2023 and I’ll see you in the new year with some new (hopefully helpful 😆) videos!

Great instructional! I wish you would have shown how you did the small upholstery pieces on both arm rests though. I have a similar chair that I’d like to DIY reupholster and I’m scared I won’t reapply the new fabric correctly in those 2 areas. I do appreciate how much foam you put into the chair, it looks very comfortable. Well done!

I’ve done a bit of reupholstering, but am trying my first project with added piping. I wasn’t sure what glue to use, so I appreciate your video and your example! Thanks for posting your video.

All that beautiful work, with a depressing fabric. Go bold and bright, give that old lady a smile. I take the fabric off and make a template so I have the a good patternless. You may watch “Chair Whimsey” for an idea of what I’m saying. She is amazing, and so are you...but choose gorgeous fabrics. Love you hard work!!!! Thank you
Hi Bonnie, thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! The customer chose the fabric! I know what you mean about using the old fabric as a template but as this chair is quite simple cutting-wise, I didn’t think it was necessary but I definitely do do that for other more complex pieces. But thank you for the kind comment!!
I love this fabric. 😀 Wonderful work. I try to emulate you but you make it look easy and it isnt always!! Lol Fabulous craftsmanship - thank you for sharing!
Imagine not knowing that people have different styles, and differing tastes. I absolutely love that fabric, and it would go wonderfully in my slightly Victorian inspired grey and black room. Beautiful work!

Just discovered you and you are by far the clearest and most helpful upholstery master Ive come across on TH-cam. Thank you so much! As as someone without an air stapler do you have a recommendation for an electric one?
Hiya, ahh thankyou much appreciated 😊. Yes my recommendation is don't use an electric staple gun, there isn't enough power in them to get into hard wood and I just keep hearing bad things. You can pick up a compressor and staple gun up for around £200 so if you can afford it I would go for that. 😊🙏⛏️✂️🧵

I was really hoping to see how the arms were done. Do you staple front and back the pull the sides? Or sides first? What thickness of foam was used on the arms?

Are the staples different sizes? Do the staples keep overlapping? I want to try to upholster my dining chairs, but affairs I'll make a mess. Love your tutorial.
No they should be all the same size, sometimes on the back I will use shorter one's as the wood is generally thinner there. Thanks for watching ☺️📐📌🪡🧵✂️

Really helpful advice here, thanks. Is there anywhere I can get a stapler similar to the one you use? Or could you recommend a good starter stapler? I’ve got an electric Stanley and I find it really clunky and stiff to use 🙄. Thanks 🙏

Another great video! I have an antique parlor chair from the 1800s with fabulous carving that I want to reupholster, but all the springs have been taken out, lol. I wish you could have shown how the springs go in. I just subscribed to your channel, so maybe in viewing your videos you have done that already. 😂
@@faceliftinteriors I have an antique Victorian parlor chair that I had to completely dismantle because the chair itself needed to be repaired and refinished. It’s worth the work because it’s beautifully hand carved and very old-likely 1800s. It had seven or eight heavy springs that were strung with rope and nailed into the inside of the chair, as well as webbing. Getting those springs re-strung and nailed back into the chair is going to be a cute trick. 😂

I have a very old antique wooden lower back chair with a carved monogram C on the front facing part of the beautiful curved back. The arms are a beautiful raised, then sloping to a gorgeous SWAN's head. I bought it for my husband for a wedding gift to him. Our last name is Coleman. I will be putting a new seat on it. But the material I am using will be a thick tapestry I will be embroidering, to make it extra special. Thank you for doing this great video. Since it is so old and a blond wood that has not been stained, I will be just using a bees wax on it. I want to preserve its antique integrity and quality. Often times people do too much to antiques when unnecessary. It is good to leave it the way it was intended when made. ( but I do want to say I do prefer the lighter wood for this chair you work on). From the look of the base edge of the seat of the chair, looks like it's been reuphosteted at least ten times. They used upholstery nails. Can you still use the little black uphosrty nails? Or do you recommend staples?
Would love to see the chair, send me some pics on Instagram. I would always recommend staples, I get some people prefer to use tacks and keep the authenticity but who's going to know?! 🤷♂️⛏️📎📐🧵🧵👍
@@faceliftinteriors Cylinder or barrel @FaceLiftInteriors I would love to send some pics. It was in storage in the USA when we moved to Eire to serve as missionaries. We left it in my in-laws home along with other antiques. They both passed away and relations moved our antiques into a storage unit, but not great storage and our fine antiques recieved some damage with damp. But our swan head chair only received a small bit of friction damage; the size of a small raisen. And the blonde wood has darkened. As if it got dirty? I am unsure how to clean the swan chair. I have thought of possibly qq q super fine sand paper over it and on the friction damage. The rub in a good bit of beas wax! When I send you ths pics, take a good look at the wood colour and the friction damage, and give me your opinion please. I would really appreciate it. So glad I can finally do what I had planned for my dear hubby all those years ago. It's never too late. It got stuck inside a storage unit. We are going to fix a small bottom door on our beautiful solid oak roll top desk. It's a cylinder or barrel oak type. I can't imagine how the door started pulling apart at the dove tail joint. We also have air oak table with carved oak leaves around it and on the cross beams underneath it has panels with the same carve decoration. I won't list all of them off. I know we can't take them with us when we die, I'm just so thankful to our Lord, we can have our own furnishings back. We endeavour to store up treasure in heaven.That is serving God and serving and blessing others. God bless you and your family !✝️🕊🙏🏻

BTW, I have a very similar chair and I am thinking of re-upholstering it. I bought new it in the 1980's. The fabric is a tapestry vase/flower motif, with a large design centered on the back and seat, with strip-studs. I would prefer to re-upholster it in a similar fashion. That is, with a tapestry motif of some kind and strip-stud edging. How much fabric do you think it will need? BTW, I have done a bit of re-upholstering myself, including several chairs. But none like this. Anyway, thanks for any help you can give.
Hi Marige, I would say you need 3m for a chair this size to be safe. When stripping the old fabric off you will learn how it was attached originally so that's always good to do. I wish you well and thankyou for watching! 📐✂️📎⛏️🙏

I'm going to be reupholstering a couch and chair soon, so taking a lot of notes from your videos. very handy! I'm from Canada, and hadn't heard of hessian fabric before, but looking it up, I see I'll have to find an alternative if I want that layer, because I am allergic to burlap! lol. I actually work in a fabric store, but three of us on staff are allergic to the couple bolts of burlap we keep in stock, haha

When working with the hessian /webbing, you used the term 'lashing'. Does that mean doubling the ends over? Or something else entirely? I'm curious. Thanks!
When I say lashing I'm generally referring to tying the springs together or lashing the webbing(meaning going up and over the other webs) Hope this clears it up! 📐⛏️✂️🧵

I'm working on a similar chair, but the crevices are a bit different. And I'm just doing it for a lady I clean for. I'm not an upholsterer, I'm a seamstress. Anyway I don't want to invest in a pneumatic stapler. I have an electric one, but I'm having trouble getting the safety to engage and shoot the staple where it needs to go. Help! Do yo have any advice.
My advise would be spend £150 and get a compressor and gun and air line. I have never used an electric one so I wouldn't be able to comment on whether they are any good or not. Hope this helps and thanks for watching. 😊⛏️🧵📎📐✂️

Are you using a power gun nail/stapler? What brand please? I just bought a lovely Eastlake parlor chair with hideous 70s fabric on it.

Hey Neil, found your channel a few weeks back, took it upon myself to refill my sagging leather couch with foam and polyester, added new webbing using the upholstery nails n a mallet. Had to work from bottom of the couch to top as it is a non removable seat cushions and back cushions. I think the sofa is over 20 years I think I’ll get another 10 out of it. Thanks for your very knowledgeable videos about the materials and methods of work. Good luck for 2023.
That’s great to hear, thank you for sharing! So glad my videos are helpful enough for people to follow. Have a great 2023 and I’ll see you in the new year with some new (hopefully helpful 😆) videos!

Great instructional! I wish you would have shown how you did the small upholstery pieces on both arm rests though. I have a similar chair that I’d like to DIY reupholster and I’m scared I won’t reapply the new fabric correctly in those 2 areas. I do appreciate how much foam you put into the chair, it looks very comfortable. Well done!

All that beautiful work, with a depressing fabric. Go bold and bright, give that old lady a smile. I take the fabric off and make a template so I have the a good patternless. You may watch “Chair Whimsey” for an idea of what I’m saying. She is amazing, and so are you...but choose gorgeous fabrics. Love you hard work!!!! Thank you
Hi Bonnie, thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! The customer chose the fabric! I know what you mean about using the old fabric as a template but as this chair is quite simple cutting-wise, I didn’t think it was necessary but I definitely do do that for other more complex pieces. But thank you for the kind comment!!
I love this fabric. 😀 Wonderful work. I try to emulate you but you make it look easy and it isnt always!! Lol Fabulous craftsmanship - thank you for sharing!
Totally agree. The grey is hideous. Useful video though.
Imagine not knowing that people have different styles, and differing tastes. I absolutely love that fabric, and it would go wonderfully in my slightly Victorian inspired grey and black room. Beautiful work!
👏🏾👌🏾

Just discovered you and you are by far the clearest and most helpful upholstery master Ive come across on TH-cam. Thank you so much!
As as someone without an air stapler do you have a recommendation for an electric one?
Hiya, ahh thankyou much appreciated 😊. Yes my recommendation is don't use an electric staple gun, there isn't enough power in them to get into hard wood and I just keep hearing bad things. You can pick up a compressor and staple gun up for around £200 so if you can afford it I would go for that. 😊🙏⛏️✂️🧵

Are the staples different sizes? Do the staples keep overlapping? I want to try to upholster my dining chairs, but affairs I'll make a mess. Love your tutorial.
No they should be all the same size, sometimes on the back I will use shorter one's as the wood is generally thinner there. Thanks for watching ☺️📐📌🪡🧵✂️

I never thought a glue gun would work. The chair looks fantastic!
Another great video! I have an antique parlor chair from the 1800s with fabulous carving that I want to reupholster, but all the springs have been taken out, lol. I wish you could have shown how the springs go in. I just subscribed to your channel, so maybe in viewing your videos you have done that already. 😂
Thank you, I don't think this chair had springs just webbing. Oh it's definitely on the list now 😁👍🪡✂️📌🧵📐
@@faceliftinteriors I have an antique Victorian parlor chair that I had to completely dismantle because the chair itself needed to be repaired and refinished. It’s worth the work because it’s beautifully hand carved and very old-likely 1800s. It had seven or eight heavy springs that were strung with rope and nailed into the inside of the chair, as well as webbing. Getting those springs re-strung and nailed back into the chair is going to be a cute trick. 😂

HI there, Love your video, so helpful and easy to follow. What staple gun would you recommend I buy? Many thanks.
I have a very old antique wooden lower back chair with a carved monogram C on the front facing part of the beautiful curved back. The arms are a beautiful raised, then sloping to a gorgeous SWAN's head. I bought it for my husband for a wedding gift to him. Our last name is Coleman. I will be putting a new seat on it. But the material I am using will be a thick tapestry I will be embroidering, to make it extra special. Thank you for doing this great video. Since it is so old and a blond wood that has not been stained, I will be just using a bees wax on it. I want to preserve its antique integrity and quality. Often times people do too much to antiques when unnecessary. It is good to leave it the way it was intended when made. ( but I do want to say I do prefer the lighter wood for this chair you work on). From the look of the base edge of the seat of the chair, looks like it's been reuphosteted at least ten times. They used upholstery nails. Can you still use the little black uphosrty nails? Or do you recommend staples?
Would love to see the chair, send me some pics on Instagram. I would always recommend staples, I get some people prefer to use tacks and keep the authenticity but who's going to know?! 🤷♂️⛏️📎📐🧵🧵👍
@@faceliftinteriors Cylinder or barrel @FaceLiftInteriors I would love to send some pics. It was in storage in the USA when we moved to Eire to serve as missionaries. We left it in my in-laws home along with other antiques. They both passed away and relations moved our antiques into a storage unit, but not great storage and our fine antiques recieved some damage with damp. But our swan head chair only received a small bit of friction damage; the size of a small raisen. And the blonde wood has darkened. As if it got dirty? I am unsure how to clean the swan chair. I have thought of possibly qq q super fine sand paper over it and on the friction damage. The rub in a good bit of beas wax! When I send you ths pics, take a good look at the wood colour and the friction damage, and give me your opinion please. I would really appreciate it. So glad I can finally do what I had planned for my dear hubby all those years ago. It's never too late. It got stuck inside a storage unit. We are going to fix a small bottom door on our beautiful solid oak roll top desk. It's a cylinder or barrel oak type. I can't imagine how the door started pulling apart at the dove tail joint. We also have air oak table with carved oak leaves around it and on the cross beams underneath it has panels with the same carve decoration. I won't list all of them off. I know we can't take them with us when we die, I'm just so thankful to our Lord, we can have our own furnishings back. We endeavour to store up treasure in heaven.That is serving God and serving and blessing others.
God bless you and your family !✝️🕊🙏🏻

BTW, I have a very similar chair and I am thinking of re-upholstering it. I bought new it in the 1980's. The fabric is a tapestry vase/flower motif, with a large design centered on the back and seat, with strip-studs. I would prefer to re-upholster it in a similar fashion. That is, with a tapestry motif of some kind and strip-stud edging. How much fabric do you think it will need? BTW, I have done a bit of re-upholstering myself, including several chairs. But none like this. Anyway, thanks for any help you can give.
Hi Marige, I would say you need 3m for a chair this size to be safe. When stripping the old fabric off you will learn how it was attached originally so that's always good to do. I wish you well and thankyou for watching! 📐✂️📎⛏️🙏

Can the double piping be stapled in the middle or does it have to be hot glue?
It can but it doesn't sit as nice, also unless you sew the double piping very well you will see the staples in between the cords. ⛏️🧵📐📎✂️

What would be the equivalent of Paramose stripper in the USA?
What about the ends of the piping, where did you start and finish them, and how did you stop? Overlapping? I’m a complete novice.
Yes sorry we didn't show that part. Keep an eye out for our new Academy which will show you all the things you need to know. Thanks for watching 😊 🙏 ⛏️✂️📐🧵

May I ask what color you used? Is that a glaze?
It's an onyx wood stain. Not paint.
Many thanks for your support. 😊🧵✂️⛏️📐

Cool, think I would have gone for a softer piping, personally
I really wanted the piping to stand out 😊 but not to everyone’s taste.
@@faceliftinteriors Love the rest of it
When working with the hessian /webbing, you used the term 'lashing'. Does that mean doubling the ends over? Or something else entirely? I'm curious. Thanks!
When I say lashing I'm generally referring to tying the springs together or lashing the webbing(meaning going up and over the other webs) Hope this clears it up! 📐⛏️✂️🧵
@@faceliftinteriors Yes, I see. Thank you!

I'm working on a similar chair, but the crevices are a bit different. And I'm just doing it for a lady I clean for. I'm not an upholsterer, I'm a seamstress. Anyway I don't want to invest in a pneumatic stapler. I have an electric one, but I'm having trouble getting the safety to engage and shoot the staple where it needs to go. Help! Do yo have any advice.
My advise would be spend £150 and get a compressor and gun and air line. I have never used an electric one so I wouldn't be able to comment on whether they are any good or not. Hope this helps and thanks for watching. 😊⛏️🧵📎📐✂️

Yes, we call it the 'pile' too. Well, some of us. Or nap. But, you're right. A nap is a short sleep. I've never heard it called a 'top' though. Interesting.
Thanks for sharing! Top is the top of the pile for me! 🙏😊✂️📐🧵⛏️

is it possible to do this without glues?
You could staple the piping on through the middle. But IMO it looks awful! Use the Glue!!! ☺️👍🙏🧵✂️📎📎⛏️

how would you get staple around the legs?
You don't staple around the legs, you cut, pull tight and fold. 🧵⛏️✂️📎👍

If using sandpaper manually instead of electrically, what would you recommend (coming from someone who has never used sandpaper before😂😂
Definitely buy a machine. Will cost £20 and save you a whole arm!!! 👍😊✂️📐🙏⛏️

are you just not going to mention the blood stain on the back panel? did you staple your finger? awesome chair tho!!
🤣 I’ve done that more times than I can count but on this occasion no, it wasn’t my blood! It was wood filler where I managed to chip the wood slightly.
Now I see why there are so many staples!
🤣 yep it's a lot of work 🙌⛏️🧷🪡🙏✂️

What do I do with a chair that has the springs all sticking out? Animal hair and rotted fabric all over.
