Hello fellow upholster! My father has been running his upholstery shop for the last 50 years and I've learned so much from him and hopefully will be taking the family ropes soon. I am so scared to be in my own but want nothing more to make his business bigger. I will be watching your videos for help when ever I need it! I have plans to do similar videos of my pieces too! Hope there's a audience 🙏

Your videos are so easy to follow & fun to watch. You provide a wealth of info for everyone new to & experienced in upholstery...

That’s very kind of you, thanks Jen! Glad you find my videos helpful 😊 Our academy is coming very soon, which will have much more in-depth videos. Will have more info for everyone soon if you think it’s something you’d be interested in!

Amazing how much corner-cutting measures mass produced products are these days. I was always taught, "buy good, buy once". You made the product much better now Neil.

You make it look so simple...but i know it's not. I have a 1950's wooden frame armchair similar to one you've restored. I believe it's Italian since i live in italy. I wish you could restore it! Nice channel.

Glad you found the video helpful Juliana! Thanks for watching and good luck with your chairs 😊🙏🏻

Your videos keep popping up for me and I am finally really watching through them to learn (not just randomly for entertainment lol), and I am amazed at how well you teach. And your humor keeps everything so entertaining too. Anyway thank you so much for providing this content. I don't think many people know how long it can take to set up camera angles, transfer footage, edit etc... such a feat. I'd love to see a dedicated video on how to properly strip furniture (the old upholstery) off. Like maybe some tips and tricks as to not damage the furniture/or to see what is still salvageable. Anyway, love the content, new subscriber for sure.

Hi Neal, I was just wondering what type of adhesive you use to fix the foam? I heard that some glues can degrade foam, want to make sure I buy the right one! Thanks, love your channel!

Hi Neil, can you give me some book names that go through building the wooden structure? There must be many books since every piece has the structure. Thank you, Steven

Hi Steven, not really to be honest. Let me see if I can find you a book on frames. 😊🙏

Use to make good money way back in the day making them lol. Boring though. I love making challenging sofas

Have you ever taken off upholstery washed and replaced it back into a chair? I’ve been wanting to chair the color but was wondering if I could take off the upholstery with ritz color dye and put it back on?

Hi Erin, haha unfortunately no it was full reupholstery. Customer just decided to have the same colour as previous fabric. Thanks for watching 😊 🙏 🧵 ✂️ ⛏️ 📐

What tool did you use to cut the fabric off please.

Just wondering what fabric is called that you have used for this project. I'm about to do a set of eight dining room chairs and I'm wondering what to use. Thank you

This is a faux leather or Vinyl. Depends in the world where you are based but that's what its called in the 🇬🇧. Hope this helps 🙏🪡✂️📌🧵📐

where did you get the faux leather from? and can i cover a chair that shape with a fabric like suede/ velvet?? or just a thick fabric?

They were a customers that asked us to redo them for her. You can get chairs from frame makers but they can be quite expensive. And yes you can use any of those materials. 🙏✂️📌🪡📐🧵

Oh! also forgot to ask, do you use a different glue to attach foam to wood, than you use to glue foam to foam?

Hi Emily, no its the same adhesive. Heavy duty spray adhesive. 👍✂️📌🧵📐

Where do you buy material? Is it cheap?

Fantastic job, but would it not be cheaper, just to buy a new chair.

Sometimes yes, but would you be buying the same badly manufactured piece that will go bad in 5 years? Reupholstery isn't the cheapest option but its the best option. ⛏️📐✂️🧵👍

Some webbing are black and the other are green , are you working on two different chairs?
