    Thank you so much for sharing your videos! I can imagine how time consuming these productions are, so your time is definitely appreciated. I have several upholstery projects I've been wanting to tackle, but I wanted to do them correctly. With your videos I feel confident that I can do this!

    Thank you for your videos! They're very informative. I have been looking through dozens of videos & tutorials online on how to reupholster the specific style of dining chair I have. It has an upholstered seat, but the plywood is recessed 1/2 way into the rails with it only covering the center. The base of the foam was notched so it could be inset into the center and attached to the plywood. The chair has back rails as well. Have you seen a seat construction like this before? I would really appreciate any advice or tips on how to reupholster this seat. Hope you keep making great videos.

    Hi, love your videos. I sent you an email a few days back with a pic attached I have a chair like the one in this video but the whole seat was not covered just the Center where the hole is and it have a very thin drop in and it appeared to have been Cotten. Could you do a quick video with this chair in this video how to only do the Center drop in part because the plywood would have to be realy thin and cant figure out how it would have supported anyone but it did.

    I've just started reupholstering a few chairs from my childhood (1960s). One of these, that I have been sitting on for 60 years, has a horsehair cushion, and the construction was just as you describe - horsehair, muslin, cotton, fabric. Does this mean the chair was pre-WWII? These videos are incredibly helpful.

    wow thanks so much! the video quality isn't very good, but your information is priceless. I have some dinning room chair I'm going to upholstery (large chairs) and I always felt small in them. I took them apart and discover only 1" of foam with no batting which is why the fabric was buckling. After watching your video I measured my chairs and they are only 16" from the ground! no wonder I always felt so small in them. wondering if it's a good idea to do 4" foam on them?

    Wow you are quite impressive and I just love imagining who has sat on the furniture. I live in Indiana. How would you recommend my attending either at your school or one that may have expertise such as Your’s.

    I am looking for a supplier of upholstery tools and supplies in the Edmonton Alberta Canada area. Would you have any connections with anyone I could get the items I need from. I just subscribed to your channel.

    Very informative and I'm sorry I've thrown the horse hair out now. By the way, I picked up those exact same chairs last weekend from someone but they are in very bad shape.
