You should do a tutorial, targeted to other TH-camrs, on how to make a good tutorial in general. Clear, concise, fast forwarded in boring repetitive areas but still showing what you did there (as opposed to skipping over), stopping to specify important details, good lighting, no loud annoying music. Just well done all around.
rmcdaniel423 absolutely. It didn’t feel like a 9 minute video at all. I’m usually frustrated 3 minutes in. I’m not sure what I like better, the headboard or the video 😂😂
There are so many bodged jobs of this on TH-cam, and I think if you are going to go to the trouble of doing something, it's worth doing it well. This is a proper tutorial. Well done and thank you.
This Mann is either on the limitless pill or a master tufted headboard builder. Focused, precise, and cool throughout the process. Great job and thanks for the video!
You looked so serious at first, but it's nice not having the "Hiiiiii everyoneee" youtuber for once. And this project was amazing. The result is so beautiful and you really seem to know what you are doing. I loved it!
I know I am 3 years 2 late but thanks...!! I'm a photographer form South Africa and I am opening up my studio. Going to make my backdrops with this.. thanks again .. it's music appreciated...
I am the Kelowna mobile hairdresser ; New Images By Dori; I appreciate your knowledge on how you demonstrated the Video on " how to make a tuffed headboard ". You make this task easy to take on. Thank you. Dori.
The dogs and I really liked it. I have to agree with those below who say you should teach how to do tutorials as you don't simply talk through it, but you show it more indepth, which is what visual learners on TH-cam are seeking. While I am not making a headboard, I am repairing a button on one and knowing how it was done to begin with shows me exactly what is necessary to do it right. Well done!
Need more quality DIY stuff like this - I always find other DIY videos are lacking the detail, in both how to make something, and a really detailed quality DIY item
May have to talk my husband into doing this for me. We just bought an adjustable bed and this will be perfect for the wall. Thanks so much for the video the headboard is very pretty!
Best tufted headboard tutorial and now i know for damn sure ill be spending a couple hundred on one. I have to get inspired to finish the last part. The tufting is tedious and ill need to get buzzed on my favorite drink and have some good company with great music on to pull this off with my ADD.
Thank you for this video - really helped us to build our own headboard. The french cleat really makes sense for fixing the headboard on the wall! Regards from Austria
He really did nailed it, very professional.. l link at another youtuber using cardboard, not to say anything wrong with using cardboard you use what you can afford. But the hills, gullies, mountains, valleys lumps, and bumps that was in the head board I felt so sad for the poor cardboard and fabric.
Great video... informative, to-the-point. Specifics about products used, sizing, and tips. NO music (thank you!!). Would have liked a short 1-2-3 about the actual tufting part (I can slow down the video & make assumptions about using the marks on the reverse side of the fabric, etc, but I would have liked you to verbally step through that part). That is one nice headboard! Even if you buy one vs make it, you'll have a better appreciation for the work that goes into it (and, maybe, what to look for). Thanks for posting.
Keep practicing and you might get there. As a person who has been doing upholstery for over 10 yrs now, and has worked in a high end upholstery shop and now owns his own I would be lying if I said I would let that leave my shop. I think it was a good effort but a few things wrong. -1. Almost 99% of upholsterers ( even myself ) do not use a staple gun unless it has a 3/8" crown. I have never heard of anyone using a staple gun that has a 1/2" crown in the upholstery business. - 2. When you bond foam together DO NOT use cheap glue, even if it will never see lots of stress or wear and tear. (this is a sign of shotty craftsmanship.) -3. Every upholstery shop that I worked at ( 3 ) used the 3m super 77 spray glue for the Dacron wraps and that is currently what I use at my shop, This I applaud you for. I am very glad to see that you are using this to secure the Dacron (good job on this one, see its not all bad ) -4. I love that you used High Grade Plywood ( you didn't cheap out on this, which I again applaud you for ). nothing makes me more mad when I see people on TH-cam showing people how to do things and they use super cheap $5 1/8 chip board. GOOD JOB ON THIS ONE _5. NEVER, and I repeat NEVER use sharpie, markers, or pens when you are tracing or laying out a pattern on material (whether its cloth or vinyl) This is the worst habit you could get into. Just go buy a box of Prang Hygieia white chalk at a upholstery supply place ( where talking $1.70 ? ) 6. You did decent with pulling and trying to get everything smooth but you have to work on massaging the material and getting everything pulled uniformly ( your edges where tight, then tighter, then back to tight. with this practice is everything, but at least you are doing it. Anyway enough of my rant , just thought I would give a little constructive criticism, but if I had to rate this out off 100 I would give you at 73 . Very good effort, and is probably good enough to give to a customer, but someone with a keen eye, or someone trying to have a high end shop would not let this leave. Keep practicing and Sew On .
You'll probably think I'm an ametuer. But I think my tuft in is really good... I sell a lot of things. However, your craftmemship and attention to detail is excellent. I have always attached the fabric to the back temporarily with a light duty staple gun. I then begin my "work" from the center as you did. I then reposition the fabric to tighten the sides and permanently staple down with a heavy duty upholstery staple gun. I will say it takes forever to get pleating perfect. But I see now if I wait I can do pleating from under the fabric and not have to use gloves or wash hands frequently. Working with light colored fabric it can sometimes get dirty if you don't wash hands or change gloves often. But then again it takes me a while. I don't do it all in one setting... LOL...
Amazing job! Labor of love for sure. When I saw your first link, I thought to myself that it looks exactly like a Christopher Knight headboard. Awesome job! Great tutorial skills.
Very good explanation and detailed on every step of work. Just for market comparison would like to know how much you spent on the materials to understand if it worth the savings. Thank you.
I just made my own tufted headboard. Spend $139 in Canadian $ for a king size bed. That's about $100 in US $. I'm not upholsterer and I don't have enough experience but was able to pull it off.. you can do it too. BTW, I used a peg board instead of a ply wood. You can check my work if you want th-cam.com/video/Z6QBTf_oytI/w-d-xo.html
Hi, I think you did a beautiful job. I have watched quite a few and you by far made the best quality headboard! You took the time to create the tufted look making sure each buttons cloth all folded the same way, and you took the time to plan it out and even tie the buttons down. Everyone else glued their buttons and as I watched them glue them all I thought about was how their buttons are going to eventually end up popping off, and saying to myself....if your going to do it....do it right and take the extra time....you did and it shows. And, you even mounted it on the wall correctly also. You did quality work, oh and I love the color and material too.....Just Awesome...Kudos to you!
You should make a jig, kind of like a tortilla press, to press your buttons. Maybe even make the "button holders" interchangeable so you can do different size buttons. Maybe different size nuts or washers would work to seat the button halves.
Bravo (applause)!!! Thank u for your professionalism. After watching a few tacky videos, I am greatful for running across yours. I want to thank you for your time, patience, artistic talents and educational breakdown. Great work.
Nicely done. Admittedly I was skeptical at first. I love your improvisations for tools and techniques. Your headboard looks like it came out great. Thanks for sharing.
Very nicely each step is been covered, your project done is awesome too. your skills are like professional. Only i couldn’t understand how you fixed it to the wall. Otherwise great job done
It took me 26 hours and I am not upholsterer and don't have tools like him. I'm pretty sure with his he took a little bit shorter than that. Mine I used a peg board. You can check my work if you want th-cam.com/video/Z6QBTf_oytI/w-d-xo.html
You should do a tutorial, targeted to other TH-camrs, on how to make a good tutorial in general.

Just well done all around.
+rmcdaniel423 Agreed. Wonderful how-to video. Wish others would be as professional, clear and concise with NO annoying loud music!
So shit, no one has ever even hinted at measuring the distance between the holes depths. Thank you. :-)
I was gonna comment something similar. This is an example of a great tutorial!
rmcdaniel423 absolutely. It didn’t feel like a 9 minute video at all. I’m usually frustrated 3 minutes in. I’m not sure what I like better, the headboard or the video 😂😂
Totally agree. a very nice tutorial. If other TH-camrs can learn from this
There are so many bodged jobs of this on TH-cam, and I think if you are going to go to the trouble of doing something, it's worth doing it well. This is a proper tutorial. Well done and thank you.
The video helped me decide that I'm never making a tufted headboard. Great work.
This Mann is either on the limitless pill or a master tufted headboard builder. Focused, precise, and cool throughout the process. Great job and thanks for the video!
You looked so serious at first, but it's nice not having the "Hiiiiii everyoneee" youtuber for once. And this project was amazing. The result is so beautiful and you really seem to know what you are doing. I loved it!
the finish is absolutely outstanding. hands down the best DIY tufting finish I have ever seen.
Wow! That's great knowledge you shared! Now the world of English sofas is opening up for me!
Great tutorial! Clear and concise, no annoying showboating or music. You said what you were doing and why and what tools.
I know I am 3 years 2 late but thanks...!! I'm a photographer form South Africa and I am opening up my studio. Going to make my backdrops with this.. thanks again
.. it's music appreciated...

After watching this video, I have to appreciate everyone works with tufted furniture. Thank you so much. You are an artist.
One of the nicest home made tufted headboards I've seen.
Need more quality DIY stuff like this - I always find other DIY videos are lacking the detail, in both how to make something, and a really detailed quality DIY item
That’s a lot of hard work. I’ll definitely be buying one now that I know how time consuming and painful it would be, but great job.
Wow Daz cool I'm definitely going to try
Watched tons and tons of these but only this one made sense. Simple and detailed.
Wow so great. Thank you. Great tips
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Stay healthy & safe!! 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎉🎉🎉🎉
This the only video on this type of stuff I've watched..and I can already tell this is the best..no need to watch anything else...super job
This is the best tufted headboard tutorial on youtube; ironically though I now just want to find someone as talented as you to make on for me.
Out of All the headboards I’ve seen this one is the best looking one great job bruh!
May have to talk my husband into doing this for me. We just bought an adjustable bed and this will be perfect for the wall. Thanks so much for the video the headboard is very pretty!
You are a great teacher. Your explanation is simple and effective and brain can take in what you are saying very calm . Thank you.
Best tufted headboard tutorial and now i know for damn sure ill be spending a couple hundred on one. I have to get inspired to finish the last part. The tufting is tedious and ill need to get buzzed on my favorite drink and have some good company with great music on to pull this off with my ADD.
You are so precise? By far the BEST tufted headboard tutorial on YT! Great job!
You’ve got some serious skills.
Amazing I’m doing my diy headboard in the morning I will follow ur video to the T. I looked at at least 15 videos I like it’s the most!
That dungeon of his is pretty clean.
Super , to the point no time wasting , I hope Other TH-camrs learn. Excellent job.
This is awesome. I'm pretty sure this is way more manual labour than I'm willing to put in to this project, but now i know. Which is also great.
It turned out nice
This has to be the best tutorial on tufting. HANDS DOWN THE BEST!!!!
this is as close to perfection as it can get!!! I loved it. it is really beautiful
Thank you for this video - really helped us to build our own headboard. The french cleat really makes sense for fixing the headboard on the wall! Regards from Austria
The finished product is very well done.
Incredible craftsmanship
This came out looking fantastic. The straight-to-the-point video editing is another reason I thumbed this video up. Well done. (Downloaded)
Hi, congratulations on your excellent work and commitment
Nice! Turned out great. The dogs at the end made me laugh. So cute like inspectors of your work. Thanks for sharing.
THE PATIENCE. HATS OFF TO YOU

But the hills, gullies, mountains, valleys lumps, and bumps that was in the head board I felt so sad for the poor cardboard and fabric.
You have skills. That headboard is beautiful. Thanks for sharing & for putting what you used in the description. Your dogs are super cute. 👍✌👑💜
Great technique. Now I have a good idea how to proceed.
This came out really beautiful

Thanks for the video 👍👍👍
Great job!! ...now to convince my husband to make one!!
You are the man! Brilliant work love it
What a great job. Hats off to you.
Small tip: for the graphing lines. A chalk box (string) is great and easy.
Great video... informative, to-the-point. Specifics about products used, sizing, and tips. NO music (thank you!!).

That's some impressive stuff right there. Congrats for being able to do such beautiful things just by yourself.
It turned out Beautifully. Thanks for the tutorial.

A lot of work!Very beautiful!Bravooo!
wonderful detail and instructions THANKS!

Great job. Electric knife, smart move. Even smarter, using the one inch hole saw.
This is the kind of tutorial i am looking for... Hope u do more like this. 👍👍👍
Bravo (applause)!!! Thank u for your professionalism. After watching a few tacky videos, I am greatful for running across yours. I want to thank you for your time, patience, artistic talents and educational breakdown. Great work.
I love this comment. Makes my day to hear such kind and thoughtful words. Best wishes on your projects and many thanks for sharing your experience.
I second this comment! Your approach and thorough and clear description of each step was so helpful! Thank you thank you thank you!
Very thorough and easy to follow. Turned out great and I loved the 2 Cavi's at the end. I'm on my 3rd! Love them
Wow you are great!!! So informative and smart! Amazing headboard!!

I like how you explained each step. Clear and concise very understandable and well organized. Great job!
This is definitely the best video yet. ty.
one of the best videos on making a tufted headboard. I would love to know how many hours it took you to finish this.
It took me 26 hours and I am not upholsterer and don't have tools like him. I'm pretty sure with his he took a little bit shorter than that. Mine I used a peg board. You can check my work if you want
