Thank you! your video gave me the needed info and confidence to reupholster a french armchair that my neighbor was throwing out. It turned out even better than I expected.
Thank you so much for this video. I have two French chairs I've been hesitant on working on. I couldn't decide on how to structure the open back but you just gave my project life again.
Thanks for this awesome tutorial.
Thank you! I've been looking everywhere for instructions for this type of chair! You made it look so easy.
Thanks for the tutorial. The chair is really sweet. Congrats.
Very good demo. Thanks!

Love your tutorials! Is that just calico you're using or a linen fabric? I have 2 antique chairs I'm about to reupholster and the back is the same as those except it has 11 buttons on each back. I might have to pull it apart tomorrow to see how I'm going to redo the buttons and maybe add the back last? Hmm....
thank you for this easy to understand video - what kind of stable gun do you use?
I have 4 cane back chairs. The cane is ruined so no way to make a template what would you recommend I do ?
Great job how much fabric did you use to do 1 chair?
Do you have a video on how to change a cane back chair to an upholstered one? I can’t seem to find a video for that. Or will this video be appropriate?
What about the front how do you avoid the staples showing?
Hi, how did you remove the back?
Hello I wanted to know what type of air gun is that? I want one that you have to use air compressor. Does air compressor come with staple gun?? I'm just a process shopping for those type of chairs that you're showing in your tutorial. I have regular staple gun but it's very hard to work with that one. And I think that they are gun type and make it so much easier. What should I be shopping for as far as air gun staple gun? I appreciate your help in this thank you so much.
Does your stapler work with compressed air?
Can you do this with a curved back chair as well?
hi, I have been watching your videos and would like to know what kind of staple gun and compressor you use and or recommend for someone who will not be doing this a lot

You can do a trim, and glue it on with hot glue gun. Can purchase at Hobby Lobby, 40% coupon on your cell phone. Take your time with the glue we don't want too show.
How did you get the ends seamless? It didn’t show that at the end. I just saw you trimming.
What compressor do you use for your stapler ? I'm looking for something quiet and I can't hear yours at all.
This video is just what I need. I’m wondering what type of nailer you use. I see pin nailers, Brad nailers, and staple guns. I’m leaning toward a Brad nailer stapler. I’m guessing a staple would have better holding power than a pin nail or brad. Suggestions please. Thanks for an outstanding video.

I use a pneumatic upholstery staple gun by Porter Cable, but any brand would probably be comparable.
Hi Miss Mustard Seed. Coud you please give more information about the sheers you are using? thank you
What staple gun do you use?
Thank you very much. I'd like to know what type of air compressor you recommend for upholstering as well as staples.

nice tutorial I wish u hold the end result a bit longer so we can see it...
I am in process of restoring a Stratford Chair Co. (Ontario Canada company) Mission-style chair from 1910-20(?). I’m restoring the finish on the complete chair first….then I’m going to use a high quality leather material (replacing the original fabric). Originally, the chair back had four loosely attached wooden slats as supports; but I’ve been considering either zig zag springs….just this type of webbing. Watching you / your video, I’m now convinced webbing will be best. I certainly don’t need a huge roll….I assume you can buy it by the foot? Also, is there a certain kind of foam I should be looking for? Great video….much thanks!

Yes. You can buy it by the yard at most fabric/craft stores. JoAnn and Hobby Lobby will both have it or you can order it online from an upholstery store.
Is there an option to either cover the front staples or make it look more professional rather than exposed staples?

How do I remove the fabric from the wood back?

Why didn’t you use a new, clean piece of foam?
What about the trim?
Dont you see the staples? And is the air powered gun necessary? Ty

No, the staples are covered with trim. As far as using a pneumatic staple gun, you can get away with a manual one on some projects, but in most cases, they are too bulky and aren't powerful enough for upholstery projects.
can you give the name and where to get the scissors you used please

Hmmm...I can't quite picture what you're describing. If there is a trim, you can pull that up and will often find staples underneath.

The only way we could figure out was to pull the side of the chair apart was to wedge a flat head screwdriver on and tap it down. There's dowels in the side to the chair then was able to remove the panel. I will try to remember to post a picture tomorrow . Thank you
Congratulations Miss, but 2 considerations (I am an upholsterer) First: it is not necessary to put all those straps in the back of the chair! Second: the line of cloth (fabric) should be perfectly straight, do not make curves! Best regards and best wishes:

Yes, I know that was overkill, but I have had chair backs punched out before so I prefer to have more support than not enough!

You didn’t finish it you need the piping glue it staple it?

For piping or trim, I glue it on. Sometimes I will tack it, but in most cases, I use glue.
It just bothered me that you didn't align the line, a little crooked.
You missed showing putting on the front trim…
That thing reminds me of no country for old men
Good video 👍 Now 7 years later have you had to tear that chair down and clean out the inset? 🤔😆 The upholsterers curse..

It was a joke about how years later when the customer wants to have the same chair reupholstered. During tear down we discover we used way too many staples before. 😆 Just a silly joke, no insult intended. 53 years upholstering I've fussed at myself many times for doing this...😆
The lines are crooked

What ? And the end? How did you finish it so that the staples don’t show? 🙄
I think you should watch some upholstery videos.......
How about we see the end? Clearly you have added a ribbon to cover the front staples? :-|
Super crooked and staples showing, not a pro example!
Why would you put that beautiful patterned fabric on the back and then leave that ugly one on the front? Makes no sense
I am sure that you will find good way to make it on WoodPrix Webpage.
seriously ..your teaching others .... the first two staples were wrong ... YOU cut the shape... you.. did NOT mark the center of the top or bottom ... so you had too much on one side and not enough on the other ..... such a poor effort
