REUPHOLSTERING A CHAIR | UPHOLSTERY FOR BEGINNERS | FaceliftInteriors - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Hello fellow upholster! My father has been running his upholstery shop for the last 50 years and I've learned so much from him and hopefully will be taking the family ropes soon. I am so scared to be in my own but want nothing more to make his business bigger. I will be watching your videos for help when ever I need it! I have plans to do similar videos of my pieces too! Hope there's a audience 🙏
you are such a master. you make it look so easy, but I'm sure your skills are the results of years of experience.
That’s very kind, thank you! I’ve been doing it for roughly 15 years but mostly self taught!
Amazing how much corner-cutting measures mass produced products are these days. I was always taught, "buy good, buy once". You made the product much better now Neil.
That’s exactly it! It might be more expensive to purchase but it will last so much longer and save money in the long run. Thanks a lot for watching Michael!
Good job Neil!!! Always a fun moment to watch your work in process!! Thank's. Love your vibe!!
That’s really kind, thank you so much! Your support means a lot 😊👍🏻
Your videos are so easy to follow & fun to watch. You provide a wealth of info for everyone new to & experienced in upholstery...
That’s very kind of you, thanks Jen! Glad you find my videos helpful 😊 Our academy is coming very soon, which will have much more in-depth videos. Will have more info for everyone soon if you think it’s something you’d be interested in!
Beautiful work, Neil!
Thanks Mike! 😊👍🏻
Wow! Lovely!
Thanks Kazzrie! 😊
I have two chairs exactly like them . Thanks for all your info and video. I will be doing mine soon
Glad you found the video helpful Juliana! Thanks for watching and good luck with your chairs 😊🙏🏻
You make it look so simple...but i know it's not. I have a 1950's wooden frame armchair similar to one you've restored. I believe it's Italian since i live in italy. I wish you could restore it! Nice channel.
Thank you for watching!! It’s not simple but you can definitely learn 😊👍🏻
Your videos keep popping up for me and I am finally really watching through them to learn (not just randomly for entertainment lol), and I am amazed at how well you teach. And your humor keeps everything so entertaining too. Anyway thank you so much for providing this content. I don't think many people know how long it can take to set up camera angles, transfer footage, edit etc... such a feat. I'd love to see a dedicated video on how to properly strip furniture (the old upholstery) off. Like maybe some tips and tricks as to not damage the furniture/or to see what is still salvageable. Anyway, love the content, new subscriber for sure.
Thanks so much for this, really much appreciated. So grateful to be able to help people as much as I can. Thankyou for such kind words and for your support. 😊🙏🧵✂️⛏️📐
Hi Neal, I was just wondering what type of adhesive you use to fix the foam? I heard that some glues can degrade foam, want to make sure I buy the right one! Thanks, love your channel!
where do you get your chair frames from to reupholster? is there a cheap place to just buy the frame?
Good job ❤
Do you have a video on how to choose what fabric to use on different different furniture
It's on the list now, keep your eyes peeled for that one!
Thanks for watching! ✂️📐🧵⛏️👍😁
Thank u
Thank you for watching! 😊🙏🏻
ًWould you please .what is the name of top out back strip?
Nice job brother
Thank you man 😊🙏🏻
@FaceliftInteriors thanks for the lesson. Turned out good. I understand putting material over the back of the straps...but why velvet and not hessian? That stuff is expensive!
Can you please tell me what is the make and model of the stapler, compressor and what ever that cool cutter for the foam is.
Also what is the metal strip you used for the back.
Thanks so much.
I have loads of left over fabric so sometimes velvet will do a better job than hessian as its stretchers!
Gun - BEA
Compressor- Bambi pt24
Foam cutter - Bosch Gsg 300 foam cutter
Metal gripper for the backs 🙌🧵📐✂️🪡⛏️
liked instantly
Thank you!! 😊🙏🏻
What tool did you use to cut the fabric off please.
Love love love your channel. Can you do a faux fur fabric make over? Lol
Thankyou for your support 🙏😊.
Are we talking about Boucle or actually Faux Fur? I wouldn't be comfortable hunting rabbits! 😁👍😊🙏🧵📐✂️
Just wondering what fabric is called that you have used for this project. I'm about to do a set of eight dining room chairs and I'm wondering what to use. Thank you
This is a faux leather or Vinyl. Depends in the world where you are based but that's what its called in the 🇬🇧. Hope this helps 🙏🪡✂️📌🧵📐
I’m so glad I found your Chanell can i plz ask what staple gun you are using??
Of course....its a BEA 71 series staple Gun. Comes in standard or long nose version. Hope this helps 🙏 ☺️
Hi Neil, can you give me some book names that go through building the wooden structure? There must be many books since every piece has the structure.
Thank you,
Steven
Hi Steven, not really to be honest. Let me see if I can find you a book on frames. 😊🙏
where did you get the faux leather from? and can i cover a chair that shape with a fabric like suede/ velvet?? or just a thick fabric?
They were a customers that asked us to redo them for her. You can get chairs from frame makers but they can be quite expensive. And yes you can use any of those materials. 🙏✂️📌🪡📐🧵
Have you ever taken off upholstery washed and replaced it back into a chair?
I’ve been wanting to chair the color but was wondering if I could take off the upholstery with ritz color dye and put it back on?
Hi Erin, haha unfortunately no it was full reupholstery. Customer just decided to have the same colour as previous fabric. Thanks for watching 😊 🙏 🧵 ✂️ ⛏️ 📐
🙌🏻🙌🏻
😊👍🏻
Oh! also forgot to ask, do you use a different glue to attach foam to wood, than you use to glue foam to foam?
Hi Emily, no its the same adhesive. Heavy duty spray adhesive. 👍✂️📌🧵📐
Use to make good money way back in the day making them lol. Boring though. I love making challenging sofas
What type of webbing was used please ?
Elastic webbing. 🙏✂️⛏️📐📎🧵
Where do you buy material? Is it cheap?
I stay away from cheap materials tbh. Fabrics generally start at about £20pm.
Where are you based? We need to get some chairs repaired.
Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire. ✂️👍🇬🇧🧵🪡⛏️
How much would you charge for this service per chair ?
Hi Johnny, send me a dm on Instagram or email and I can discuss prices etc. 🧵📎⛏️✂️👍
Fantastic job, but would it not be cheaper, just to buy a new chair.
Sometimes yes, but would you be buying the same badly manufactured piece that will go bad in 5 years? Reupholstery isn't the cheapest option but its the best option. ⛏️📐✂️🧵👍
What are your thoughts between jute and rubber webbing?
Some webbing are black and the other are green , are you working on two different chairs?
I think you’re seeing the ends of the old webbing I cut off 🤔 the new webs I put on were black
🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍💕💕💕
😊🙏🏻
If your ever looking for staff let me know lol
Hi Chris, where abouts are you based?
