You (demonstrator), your videographer, and editor are A+++. Very concise and great closeups when needed. Super helpful, thank you!
you are a good teacher. This is the clearest explanation I have found.
It actually took me a bit to find this video... I wasn't happy with the dozen or so other end results that TH-cam was promoting. This is by far the most professional looking result I've found. This guy knows his shit, great video!
I ABSOLUTELY Agree! This is the only video that I have watched and learned so much from! Fantastic video!
I like the way you explained the angle cut and use of the tools. Thanks for sharing
My grand dad was a master upholster and through my dad I've inherited some of his tools but not the skills. Cannot thank u enough for making an excellent video to the YT University how to use them. Again, thank u so much.
Like all the others who bothered to comment, it's like you made this video for my exact questions. What a great tutorial.
Thank you so much! I have 8 to do and your training was immensely valuable for me. Thank you for sharing your expertise!!
Thanks for the great, detailed tutorial! I have upholstered several chairs, etc., but when it comes to corners I never have been able to get them this nice. I love this technique, so helpful! Can't wait to use this on my current projects. Thanks again.
Excellent demonstration! Extremely clear and helpful! Thank you!
A good and very clear video. Thanks! He teaches me how to use the correct but simple tools too.
Thank you! This was very helpful as I'm working on a seat cover for my husband's wooden boat!
Great video. Very comprehensive. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise👍🏽😁
Very helpful! You're very clear and concise...thank you!
Love your teaching style.
Thank you for showing the PROPER way to do corners...well done professional work!~ I should know, learned it from a pro myself.:)
Thank you for this thoughtful tutorial; it was so helpful and exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate your attention to detail and your focus on the time it takes to get it done CORRECTLY, which is seldom the same as getting it done quickly!
Wonderful teacher. Thankyou.
Excellent, clear and helpful--thank yu!
Very clear explanation and pleased with my efforts. Thank you.
Thank you Sir.
If only I had seen your superb work three days ago.......
Thank you! Great video.
No demo on what it ends up looking like
Great video...
Thank you for sharing
I find rounded corner more difficult, especially in hiding the tucks. Also find staples makes job much quicker. Thx
Such great info
I have never used tacks. Can you do a video using staples?
Once you get the first seat perfect, can you remove it and use it as a template for the other seats? That would save lots of time and cutting
Thank you for your expert advice. It is evident you are very skilled. I have a question. I am wondering if you would use this technique for vinyl on a 5 inch cushion seat.
What if working with vinyl and staples?
Thank you for posting, and very useful how to video! Just what I was looking for!
Thanks Dude! We owe you a beer!
The link doesn’t work.
Good job.
Mike, what brand and model of tack hammer are you using? Does it have a split head?
Thank you
Your making this look harder than it really is.
excellent
Use staples pal
Try putting the tacks in your mouth. That's what the magnetic hammer and sterilized tacks are for. That's how upholsters ..true upholsters have done it and did it. My father used to buy 100lbs of tacks per size he liked. #6 and #3's.
Thank you.
I love this
At 1:56 and 7:05, what does “soft fingers” mean?
You are making extremely hard work of something so simple, as an upholsterer with 52 years experience, the way you are doing it is way too difficult, , after you have tacked the sides, pin the middle of the corner first, cut the excess out, and fold the fabric on both sides, this will give you two smaller folds, instead of one larger fold, use a tacking hammer to tap the folds flat,
But if one fold is required, then pull the fabric right up to the corner, pulling tightly, cut out the excess fabric, then fold the fabric "facing away" from the front of the seat ! so you are not looking into the fold from the front ! Hope this helps.

I have a dvd showing an upholsterers tie.
Know that one?
Is that kinda what you’re explaining?
Mike Justice where can we get it? Show off
Thank you! Great advice!
You're wrong with all those, there should be 2 pleats, makes it look equal and neater.
I would still manage to screw it up.
I tried it and turned out great. For me anyway. 😂👍
How to reupholster a thick stool
Hello
Do you have an email address and DVD’s to purchase?
I bought 2 on eBay and I’m interested in books too.
I sent you an email today from google but not sure if it was yours.
I also called a NY/NJ # and left a message.
I’m in Texas and can’t come to any of your great classes.
Thanks, Mike
Please visit our online store at www.shopwoodworking.com for books, videos and more. Thanks!
He loves his own voice.i couldn't listen to him .such a pain
you are in the minority. Why be disrespectful?
guy did in 1.45 sec & tiiwce as ggood
This video should be titled "How to turn a simple five-minute job into one hour project".
Really hard to see what he is doing.
Too advanced for me
Does 100.000 plus subscribers pay well ?
It is good to post this solution but please excuse me, we are far from perfection !
I had such high hopes in the beginning. … There's gotta be a more standardized technique. … that doesn't include risking the whole cut by cutting the fabric so close to the corner. Idk, says you're a pro, but this is exactly what I was doing on my first attempt before I said there has to be a better way. peace
Tacks? Wth
I am a self employed upholsterer from the uk with 36 years experience. This is an awful teaching method & is most definitely not, how it should be done.
What do you recommend? There are so many different tutorials for doing this on youtube... I don't know which to chose.
