It's a joy watching you work your magic. I like that you don't use unnerving background music and really like your calm voice. Plus it's awesome to learn how a sofa used to be constructed, never knew this until now. Now the bad news: You have yet another subscriber to entertain...
Enough learning! A lot of technique for those who are really interested in learning the trade. Glad to have learned from your lessons. Thank you very much!

I'm sure your quality sofas are much more comfortable than the one I'm sitting on right now. I wish I learned long before what I've learned lately such as today's sofas you find in most furniture stores are made of such low cost cheap material... they do look nice the first weeks but it's only after few months you get to notice that the seats start sinking. You can be sure next time I'll make a wiser informed purchase.
Your videos & demonstrations are wonderful. I have never seen such perfect illustrations. As a novice, I'd love to see a summary of the main tools & equipment you use, with your recommendations. I see them as I watch you & ought to make notes, which I shall do, I think, although advice on what is best would also be good. If you have time.
I am a woodworker, but I would like to build my on furniture (couch, love seat, chair, etc.) Can someone please direct me to a website that has detailed plans that I can buy to build these with. Thanks
Great Neat stitching - Would like to have seen the use of a 12 - 15 oz Spring canvas ( hessian / burlap), over the springs and as the base for the stuffing. Peace.
Hi There, I have been following along with another "teaching" video on wire edge coil springs. They have you sew down the coils and tie them back to front first and then reattach the wire edge. I have been struggling with the coils from this 1920's couch. It seems this is a more steady and even application. I think I will back up and try this.
I intended on more springing detail in the video but I ran into difficulties with the front row of springs being a mix from two different companies. The springs had different resilience so I had to add some unconventional ties to the front. Because of this I scrapped the rest of the springing portion. Its easier to keep the front row straight if you have the wire to direct you. For more information contact me via my website.
I see you stated you had video problems so you couldn't put the wire edge tying in the video. Will you be doing a video of that. I can't figure out if I tie my string up and over the wire edging and is it a separate tying apart from the tie down. Your work is phenomenal. You are very meticulous and it shows in how beautiful all your work is. Thanks for the videos
I am working on an antique sofa that has the wire edge and springs and will probably build the edge roll similar to how you have here - can you tell me what you use for the thread/string in stitching the edge roll? And is it the same as what you use to stitch the springs to the burlap and to the jute?
I use nylon button tying string to sew springs to webbing for extra strength. All of the other stitching is done with Ruby Italian stitching string. I think it's hemp but often sold as jute.
What is that type of deck called? My couch (a Henredon) is made that way, but I can't find many modern couches that have that floating deck. They all have a wooden frame with the springs dropped down into a box--they barely come out over the top of the frame box, or they have sinuous springs, again, attached to a frame box.
I suppose it's best called a standard or traditional 8-way tied coil spring deck. Not commonly done these days due to the time consuming labor involved.
Where ever did you learn how to do all of this layering and process of Upholstery? Also, do you have any recommendations on Books for a DIY person trying to learn the right ways to do these projects?
I've had no formal training in traditional upholstery. I've learned from 47 years experience and practice. "Upholstery. A Complete Course" by David James is an exceptionally good book.
do you have a video of how to tie a seat deck like this? One with a wire edge around the whole perimeter? I notice there are a LOT more ties than a normal crowned seat.....
darn, I am working on a 30's victorian style couch and it has a deck similar to this, but with more of a t-deck (with the wire edge around the whole perimeter of the deck). I have done springing up several times, just not with the wire edge before.
Hog ringed springs are an insult to quality upholstery. Learn to do it right. Klinch-it fasteners are another insult and only good for blood-letting. They should be banned as dangerous.
I had some unfortunate problems in filming some of the springing in this video and had to leave it rather vague. The springs are compressed by pulling the twines. They generally reduce about 1/3 of their original height.
Love this video. Have watched it a few times. What is the official name of the wire that you used with the springs? And what is the name of the springs that you attached to the corners of the wire? Thanks!
@@Buckminsterupholstery Thanks so very much! The 2nd part of my question is about the two spring mechanisms that were attached to the spring steel edge wire in my sofa. They are nothing like the coil springs. Does that help?

Thank you for sharing your craft. I found a book that describes these techniques, but seeing it done in person is so helpful.
Enough learning!

Thank you very much!
An inspiration and joy to watch you work!
this man have magic in his hands.

Is the leather glove to stop the string from cutting your hand?
Not so much to prevent cutting my hand, it's more in helping to pull the cords and string tighter with less strain on my joints.
do you have a video of how to tie a seat deck like this? One with a wire edge around the whole perimeter? I notice there are a LOT more ties than a normal crowned seat.....
I had intentions of more detailed springing in this video but I ran into some problems and had to cut much of it. Nothing more to offer at this time.

Beautiful work! Very calming! Just what I was looking for. Would it be possible without side and back support?
I assume so, sight unseen from what you're working on.

Is the edge wire you use special wire? Spring steel?
Yes, #9 gauge spring steel edge wire. Generally comes in 12' length.
hello, what is the name of the device you use to bend the edge wire at 1:16?
The wire bending tool was made by a blacksmith friend of mine. One of several springing tools he built for me.
Is it bad to use hog rings for the springs? Also where do you order coconut fiber from?
Hog ringed springs are an insult to quality upholstery. Learn to do it right. Klinch-it fasteners are another insult and only good for blood-letting. They should be banned as dangerous.
Hi...love your videos but wanted to know how did you compress the spring so that you can tie them. Didn't see that part in the video.
I had some unfortunate problems in filming some of the springing in this video and had to leave it rather vague. The springs are compressed by pulling the twines. They generally reduce about 1/3 of their original height.
Love this video. Have watched it a few times. What is the official name of the wire that you used with the springs? And what is the name of the springs that you attached to the corners of the wire? Thanks!
The wire is #9 gauge spring steel edge wire. I don't understand your second question. ... I used the hydraulic tool to press # 9 wire ferrules.
@@Buckminsterupholstery Thanks so very much! The 2nd part of my question is about the two spring mechanisms that were attached to the spring steel edge wire in my sofa. They are nothing like the coil springs. Does that help?
Probably "torsion bar springs"? Have I seen your sofa?
@@Buckminsterupholstery Great!!!! Thanks a million!
You haven't seen the sofa. No idea how to attach a pic either.
Is there a formula for choosing the size of coil spring?
Contact me via my website for more information.
Good
Hi what is the name of the tool you use to join spring
Baker clip three-prong pliers
what is the tool name used at 02:06?
Baker clip spring edge wire pliers. Some clips are three prong or five prong.
thanks sir
