HOW TO PREP A CHAIR FRAME FOR UPHOLSTERY | UPHOLSTER A CHAIR FRAME | FaceliftInteriors - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Hi Guys!! Come and follow me over on Instagram too 🙂👍 instagram.com/faceliftinteriors
I've been battling anxiety and panic attacks for a while and your upholstery videos help me relax. Before I was struggling with mental health I did upholstery for a living so it's nice to watch these videos and remember my work.
Hi Dan - this is probably the nicest complement I’ve received! I also suffer with anxiety so it’s nice to know my videos are a comfort for someone, thank you for sharing!
@@faceliftinteriors thank you for replying to my comment I didn't expect that. I'm sorry to hear that you have anxiety too but it's nice to know we're not on our own. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll go far 👍🙂
Hi Dan, just wanted to check in to see how you are doing? 🙏🫶
@FaceLiftInteriors so it's been a year and I'm doing so much better. I'm having therapy and it's helping me a lot. I hope to get back into work soon. Thank you for asking by the way I appreciate it. How have you been?
Hello Neil . . . From Mississippi in the US . . . I have built wood furniture for years . . . Nearly 45 years ago, I worked with an upholster, bringing supplies and cleaning up . . . Fast forward: About a year ago, I bought an old commercial sewing machine and venturing off into upholstery. Though I watched the man I worked for many years ago, it's great to watch you, as you teach so very well the tips and tricks. You make it look so easy. Because you are a good teacher, I may say it's your fault that I have bought these supplies and equipment. (just kidding of course) This chair you just completed is very similar to what my wife wants me to make now and she wants two of them. I do watch your videos and often watch them more than once. Thanks for taking the time to produce really good tutorial-type videos. Again with as much humor as I can muster here: I don't anticipate another video as I should because you just make more work for me . . . Your videos add to my honey-do-list. And now being serious, thanks for good work and I appreciate your humor mixed in. Blessings.
Hi Jeff! Thanks so much for watching my videos, it really does mean a lot and I’m glad you find them helpful! Making frames is definitely something I want to learn more in-depth myself but it’s such an art, I want to learn it thoroughly before I start doing them. If you can do both, you’re a pro Jeff! Good luck with your chairs for your wife - I’d love to hear how they turn out!
@@faceliftinteriors Thanks for the response Neil . . . I haven't yet learned the upholstery well enough . . . . Maybe I need to build three chairs, and hopefully one will make the grade to go into the house. I will let you know how they turn out . . . Blessings again and I do await your next video . . . Merry Christmas . . .
Haha that’s a great plan! I’m sure by the third you’ll be very successful!! Merry Christmas to you too Jeff. Best wishes to you and your family in Mississippi 😊🙏🏻
I love watching you work! I reupholstered our lounge uite some years ago ( taught myself by taking it apart and reversing the process to put it together again) . Two of the chairs are our favourite so needed redoing 18 mths ago ...I sent the in to be done here in johannesburg - they looked fine but the zig zag springs and the sponge collapsed after only 6 mths. I want to strip them down completely and redo them myself - this video will help me 😊. I am nearly 70 yrs old , female and with arthritis and other illnesses ..that is why i got an upholstery firm to do them last time - but i would rather not waste pension money on bad service here---- You area is very blessed to have you !!!!! Thanks for your fantastic teaching😊....i am going to persevere! Greatings from South Africa
Love this!!! ❤️
Good for you Melene, that's what I tell people who want to learn. Start taking furniture apart. Thanks for your kind words and wishing you blessings! 😊 🙏✂️⛏️🧵❤️

Thank you Ann 😊 I think a lot of people have struggled over the last couple of years with everything going on 😣
inspired.... going to pull the couch to pieces this weekend 🤞 that it works.
Hi Shae! Ahh happy to hear of the inspiration 😊 good luck with your couch!!
Another awesome video. I've always loved the look of a tub chair and winged back chair. I think after watching such a great tutorial I can try to build and upholster one myself. Thanks for the humor and easy to follow tips and tricks, Trinidad 🇹🇹 tuned in and waiting for more. God bless you and your family
Thank you Kimba!! Your support is really appreciated 😊🙏🏻 more videos coming soon, we’ve have a few technical issues but they will be coming soon! Best wishes to Trinidad 🇹🇹
Thank you so much for helping me. I love upholstery work but I need more training. May God’s bless you.
Thank you so much for watching, I’m glad you found it helpful 😊👍🏻

Fab videos, very inspiring.
Thanks Anita! Thank you for watching 😊👍🏻
I loved this video. Watching you is so relaxing and inspiring. You do a great job explaining the process from beginning to end. Thank you from the US. And my sympathies to the loss of your queen. 😥 She was a class act and a great loss.
Hi Patricia! That’s a really kind comment, thank you! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment, it means a lot. Best wishes to the US 🤗
I have never seen an upholstered chair or couch made before.
I really enjoyed your video. It is nice to see something really
nice being hand made these days.
Jeff❤
Thankyou Jeff, much appreciated. And thanks for watching 😊🙏✂️⛏️🧵📐
Your videos are by far the best - and I've watched lots! . The explanations,the causes and problems solving,the quality of the filming,the timing,the results of your work once finished etc make them a real source of 'how to realise ' good work . Thanks a lot, and a big hug from France.
Luke thankyou so much buddy. This comment made my day! Thanks for watching 👌🙏🧵📐⛏️📎✂️
You're so inspiring!! Thank you so much for doing these videos.
Hi Misty! That’s really kind of you to say - thank you so much for watching them 😊🙏🏻
Awesome chair! Beautiful. Such a talent, many can upholster but no one can like you do.
Ahh you’re far too kind! Thank you for your support as always!!
Great job mate respect from Ireland.
Thank you Willie! Best wishes to Ireland 🙏🏻
I love your videos. Your professionalism and skill really show. I know how to sew and have done a bit of upholstery but not on this scale, so it's really informative for me to watch.
Thank you Amy - that’s really kind of you to say! Thank you for watching 😊🙏🏻
Thanks so much for your videos. This is truly a lost trade and such a big need in my area. Really want and studying to get into this.
Thanks for watching Jason! Anyone can learn it - a lot of what I know was learnt by watching others 👍🏻 go for it!!
MASTER congratulations, excellent explanations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHAPEAU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best Wishes.
You’re too kind Luigi! Thank you!!! 😊👍🏻
Upholstery has changed a lot, since the time I learnt.
As a soon to be apprentice this is exactly the type of video I’ve been looking for, really looking forward to starting full time and learning as much as I can, again a great video :))
Thanks Johnathan! Good luck with your apprenticeship 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for sharing this. Your videos are great. You explain things very clearly 😃
That’s really kind, thank you Tina! And thank you for watching 😊🙏🏻
Your good upholstery work I like 👍 because I am also sofamaker upholsterer
Thank you my friend! It’s always good to hear from other fellow upholsterers 😁👍🏻
@@faceliftinteriors your welcome sir
Been waiting ages for the next upload!
Sorry Shaun! We will do better in the new year 🙏🏻 thanks for your patience 😁👍🏻
I just started to watch and learn this type of skills and you are the 1st person I saw when I did a searched of "upholstery for beginners" and until now you are the only channel I'm watching because of how detail and professional you are.
Wish me luck to learn this very unique skills.
Btw I'm 26 now and I hope it's not too late for me to learn. 😅
That’s very kind, I’m glad you find the videos helpful 😊🙏🏻 it’s never too late to learn new skills - you’ll do great! Good luck!!
Outstanding! That poofy bottom looks super contemporary too.
Poofy bottom 🤣 I love that description! Thank you so much 😊👍🏻
Thank you for this video. I’m going to look at a possible job doing this today. Wanted to go with some knowledge at least 😊👌👍

It’s a rare ability to instruct in such a clear, concise and affable manner.
Are you ex military?
Hi Darren! That’s really kind as I do worry I’m not the best at explaining what I’m doing. Nope, never been in the military!! Thanks again for your support, it means a lot 😊👍🏻

Güzel bi işçilik oldu eline emeğinize sağlık
İzlediğiniz ve desteğiniz için çok teşekkür ederim.
Brilliant work pal.
Thanks Ewan 🙏😊🧵✂️📎📐⛏️
Hi Neil, great video. Just wondering why you used the extra foam on the inside and why the blue and not the white? tia
Great video, so useful, thank you :-)
Glad you found it useful! Thanks for watching Jenny 😊🙏🏻
Hope you do more bare frames, so we can see the foam bit.
Will do! 👍🏻👍🏻
You're a genius Neil! 🦄 We forgive you for not uploading many videos. can you tell us the secrets
🤣🤣
Excellent
Thank you! 😊🙏🏻
Hi, Neil! It's Ann from Arkansas, USA. (Am I spelling your name correctly?) You are a delight to watch - I always laugh at least once during each video. Thanks for the humor. Your work is great, too. Keep the videos coming!
Hi Ann! Yes that’s the way you spell my name 😊 that’s really kind, thank you so much! I’m glad I’m able to make someone laugh 🤣 thank you for watching Ann and best wishes across the pond to Arkansas 😊
Does you have any suggestions for webbing a tub chair that does not have a bottom rail on the back and sides please?
Fantastic 👍👍
Thank you!! 😊🙏🏻
Very good tutorial...
Easy to follow...
Nice work...
Thanks Deborah! Glad you found it helpful 😊🙏🏻
This was an excellent video. Thank you!👴🏻🇦🇺
Thanks Mark!! 😊🙏🏻
Nice work boss 👏
Thank you my friend 😊🙏🏻
Would this work for a Louis XV style sofa that is only wooden frame round it and nothing in the middle bits? 195cm wide by 76 cm deep?
You do very good job, professional work, I have watched several of your videos, I am thinking if I can do upholstery on my favorit old love seat.
Thanks a lot Frank, that’s very kind! Anyone can upholster - start with a smaller project first as a practice if you’re worried.
Love the video! So helpful and makes it look simple 😊. Can you recommend a good stapler for this project that isn’t an air stapler?
In my opinion electric staplers never quite strong enough. To do the job properly you need an air powered staple gun. 👍🧵📎📐✂️⛏️
Hi, love your video! I am learning uphosltery and I wanted to know if there was a reason why you do you're fabric pattern before putting on the dacron, doesn't that mess up the measurements ? Thank you!
Hiya, dacron makes the template susceptible to movement, foam is much better for Templating as it holds it still. The dacron is thin so wouldn’t affect the final size. ✂️⛏️📐🧵
Thanks for the time and details! One question, why did you use elastic webbing as opposed to jute webbing? Thank you
You are welcome. Jute webbing is crazy expensive and I find elastic to be faster. 👍✂️⛏️📎📐🧵
Fascinating to watch, would this 1 chair be a day's work for you or would you expect to get more done?
Maybe around a full day, maybe more depending on how quick you are 😊👍🏻
I have a simple upholstered dining chair that is slipcovered. Backrest slightly curves out. I like to repurpose them. The problem with these chairs is that they are too high for the space. We moved to a home that has lower ceilings and like to cut them to a lower hight. I like for you to do a video of how to do that. Thank you in advance!
You deserve to get more and more subscribers dude. Guys tell your friends about this chanel.🤩🤩🤩
That’s really kind, thank you Lily 😊🙏🏻
@@faceliftinteriors u r so very welcome
Hi! I was waiting for the seat portion because I have a chair my dog decided was hers, and the entire bottom has fallen out the underside! Do you have another video showing you doing the seat? Thanks!
Yes apologies for this, we had a technical issue and lost the footage. We will have this coming soon as soon as we have a piece to do. 🧵⛏️📎📐✂️
Neil, great video, thanks. Where do you buy your chair frames from please?
Hi Paul! I get mine from LJ Chairframes 👍🏻
I have been reupholstering for 6 years now. Mostly self taught. I really struggle with the corners with the plygrip. Even though I'm pushing the plygrip as close to the piping as possible sometimes I still have a gap. I use one continuous piece of plygrip. Do you use two pieces of plygrip or do you use one and curve it around? If you use one how do you keep it close to the corner so there isn't a gap?
Hi Toni! Sorry for the delayed response. If it’s quite a tight corner I would use two pieces around the corner. But if it’s more of a bend than a corner I would use 1 piece 👍🏻
Great to see you back! You make it look so easy - I know it’s not! Great skills 👌🏼 Can I ask where you source your frames?
Thank you so much!! We get our frames from L Jones Frames based in Essex. They’re great!
Might seem like a silly question but what size of staples do you use? I have two dining chairs to reupholster and as I have an electric stapler I intend to use that as buying a compressor and pneumatic stapler would make doing them myself economically unviable.
Maybe you will be good at it and more people will ask you to do theirs, then it won't be a bad investment. I use 4mm all the way up to 14mm. But as standard 8 or 10mm. ✂️📌🪡🧵📐
Hi, whats the size of the staples you use and whats the wood you used for this frame? Thank you 🙏
Exelente trabajo, tienes cursos?
Thanks, soon we will be launching 'The Facelift Academy' which will be our own private training academy. Hopefully ready by the end of this year. 😊🙏🧵✂️⛏️📐
Awesome chair bro, really informative, I would like to ask what kind of tools would you recommend for a beginner?
Hi Ali! Thank you for watching mate, really appreciated. I’ve uploaded a video on tools previous - here’s the link. Apologies for the sound quality - this is an older video before I bought my new microphone but hopefully it’s ok th-cam.com/video/tGdnHFUBrN0/w-d-xo.html
Great video/content my friend! I was wondering, where did you get your tub chair ordered from? Thanks! :)
Thank you for watching, it means a lot! I got the frame from our local frame makers - L Jones. But there are plenty of frame makers around 😊👍🏻
I really like your videos. I have learned lots of things here. However, I could not figure it out, why do we need cardboard strips?
It gives you a clean line when folding the fabric back! Hope this makes sense? 🙏
Thanks for watching! ⛏️🧵📐✂️😊👍
Where do you get your chair frames from?
What spray adhesive do you use? I didn't see one on the list of tools...
Heavy duty spray adhesive. Best if you can find a local upholstery supplier. ✂️📐📎🧵⛏️👍
How do you measure for the fabric needed for an armchair or is there a rule of thumb?
Hi there! I made a video on this a while ago. Apologies for the poor sound quality, it was before I bought a new mic. Here’s the link to the video, hope it’s helps: th-cam.com/video/7D4lySWKsQo/w-d-xo.html
Really struggling with a chair that is simular with a curved back with piping. Can you share how to get it smooth..
Hi Trina - sorry for the delay in replying. I’m not sure if this video will help you with that? Sometimes I’m better at explaining while ‘doing’ th-cam.com/video/3_QCbltf_Q4/w-d-xo.html
Great video. How long did this take you to?
Many thanks. Probably a day in total. ⛏️✂️📐📎🧵
Why do you not fold over the elastic webbing in the back as well?
Hi Joy - the back doesn’t need as much reinforcement on the webbing as it doesn’t take all of the weight like the seat does. But you absolutely could do that to the back too 👍🏻
Do a 3 seat sofa please!!!
I'll try!
Thanks for watching! 😊👍✂️📐🧵⛏️
@@faceliftinteriors no problem as soon as possible please I've been working on this for months self taught from youtube your a great teacher my only teacher actually 😅the way you break things down helps alot💯
Did you glue the blue foam to the white?
Yes the blue foam went on top of the white foam. 🧵📐📎⛏️🙏✂️
6:28 Was that a Gordon Ramsay impression there?
It was an attempt at one yes 🤣👍🏻
How long have you been at this ? How did you learn to do it?
Hi Louis - sorry for the delayed response. I’ve been in the industry for over 15 years but started off as a cutter and did that for a long time. I made sure to watch the upholsterers and ask loads of questions and learnt from there. Practical learning was the best way for me to learn though and learnt a lot on my own through making mistakes. Reupholstery is a great way to learn as you can see how the fabric goes on by taking each panel off 👍🏻 Hope that helps!
@@faceliftinteriors thanks for the response, you can really see you’ve been at this a while when comparing you to the other more amateur TH-camrs I watched. Thanks for the content
How much did you charge to have one of these upholstered?
Apart from the thickness, is there any difference between the blue and white foam?
Yes Blue is firm and white is soft. Might differ though depending on where you are in the world. 🙏🧵✂️⛏️📐
@@faceliftinteriors okay thanks for answering
@@faceliftinteriors I am about to re-upholster a chair myself - hence the questions. Why do you put the blue foam ontop of the white? Why not use just the white or just the blue? :)
ever count the staples in a chair?
This guy rocks my shit!
🤣🤦🏻♂️
I find small hands better for a strong tug
🤣🤣
Me too
@@matthewbanyard9522 🤣
"How many staples do I use?" "Yes." "What?" "All the staples."
🤣👍🏻
Nah she’s not pretty….she’s GORGEOUS 😍
Thank you Stefanie!! 😊🙏🏻
You r f… gorgeous
Haha! Too kind Carlos 🤣
Upholstery is really a lost trade. All the long lasting quality work and supplies are gone. Elastic webb? spaced out alot? sad to see the market gone that way. I've had to repair so many of these pieces only a few years old.
Exactly this! So many corners cut to bring down price and sadly it doesn’t last very long.
the frames is stressful I'm not a tailor.
You wrang whay you cating the vieo
Should be called the midget chair ,they're not for adults.🤭😁why is this made so small.
Lol They are small, just the design I guess, doesn't look too small in the room though. Many thanks for watching 😊 🙏 🧵 ✂️ ⛏️ 📐
This best then if what other colour or Material the Upholstery shops are Amazing and you could have chair built just for your self
✌🏻😁
You are beautiful just simply beautiful 💋 as always no disrespect intended New York City USA 🖤❤️💛🧡💙💚💜🤍""oh shit I forgot too mention the chair 😲 that nice too 👍🏿""
