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....

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.

    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 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!

    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.

    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
