Good news! It takes a real man to know his limitations and adapt and overcome. Stay focused, one customer at a time. Don’t over sell yourself to mentally and physicall drain yourself!! looking forward to more how to videos..

Dirty sandwiches is the normal

Razor blades do get worse year over year wth

You never mention source but I can guess from similar problems. Just now I was struggling to get my front seat back on a bench for my 4 door sedan, and after no-fit, I measured and many of the panels are over an inch-and-a-half short! These cost a ton and the wait was nearly 2 years (20 months) I did order extra vinyl and it does not really match. I do not have a professional sewing machine either, just a very old Kenmore portable I'm going to have to make work AGAIN. I already had to re-do the back seat back. (SMS in Ore.)

Nice work!

Your website is down

Thanks for that. I’ve just got one for my Trident. 👍

Hey what’s up guys !? I’m trying to find someone to upgrade the seat on my hard tail, I’m local to your shop, I have the seat pan but man I need some more padding. Is this something you guys can do ?

I made my first seat cover a few years ago from your videos, coming back to relearn and make another. Some really good information, thank you!

What size staples do you use?

Watch me try this on my $100 Singer! Yep, it will be fine.

I bought the gel pad. Would it be mistake if I placed gel on top of seat then added a thin layer of leather as a cover? Rather not do the full seat surgery.

Would buying an old cabinet singer type sewing machine work if i was to try my hand at this?

Man..that was really cool show and tell. You should take those samples and show those seams on a Mercedes or high Quality seats in cars or even Boats interior! it is true: if you know stuff you see more and can identify quality work! Well done! Greetings from Germany sends CarpenterBea

Muy bien explicado el tutorial, me sirve y me ayuda mucho, soy tapicero y siempre he tapizado los asientos sólo con medir las dimensiones. Pero tu sistema esos muy eficaz y afectivo y más acertado,,desde hoy empezaré a usar este buen sistema, Felicidades por tu canal y compartir tus conocimientos de tapicería! 👍 ojala y subas más vídeos con nuevos estilos de acabados en asientos de motocicletas!!!

Hello, I came across your channel while trying to come up with ideas for my 1988 Volvo 244 DL door panels.. they are original non-waterproof floppy cardboard style, covered with vinyl and cloth.. You have inspired me, I thank you... I wouldn't mind making my own door panel using the original as a template... My dilemma is the panel top curves, then protrudes inward towards the glass, thus making a lip that has a window weather strip attached and a hole for the (push pull style) lock knob.. Can you lead me to one of your videos, regarding this style of panel.. This panel has two rectangular pieces of metal attached to the back, acting as a guide and a lip to hold the panel in place before pushing in all tabs. I have little talent in this area, but lots of ambition.

Not really what the video is about, but I was just wondering why half the cars on the road when I was a kid had vinyl tops, then they just vanished. No one talks about them; no one remembers. In fact, there's nothing on KZbin about the history. Strikes me as very odd. I am not saying I want a vinyl top, but they still look pretty snappy.

It's called a ford transit. Might get more hits with proper title.

I live right here in Connecticut was wondering what you would charge for this exact seat I’m the same height

So the gel is great but what about the ones that have the little bubble that move with your body

Where does one find orthopedic Gel

Let's see; this car has the head-up display and the Bower and Wilkins audio package. I can't help but wonder, "How did this happen?" "And where?"

Pro tip: Magnets work great, are quicker, easily adjustable, and leave a cleaner template than tape(for holding, not for the edge markings). Great tutorial.

Excellent work, bravo.

I really enjoy listening to you. Can't say that about everyone. Good teaching. Enjoy your channel

awesome

I wish this was a little MORE basic, like what is teh best materials, i don't know what threads to use, i am also wondering where to get the best Vinyl. I ordered a cover for my GL1500 it;s a 99 and people just do not know what they are selling is the deal . this ( these seat covers ) i got none of them fit my bike and they are all identical! the chineseum pro LOL yeah i fell for it. it is hand made and it was supposed to be 189 dollars they just kept sending repeats though when I told them it doesn't fit. now it;s too late to send back/ so i want to alter it. also, after I give this my best shot. i want to make one from scratch. this is not a flighty thought as i have a TON of bikes outback, all of them have seats much less complex than the GL1500 as they are all 70 s 60's and 80's thumpers/ sucks I am starting with my goldwing but it is my daily. i want this back to waterproof and looking nice.

Is it possible to make a sport bike seat comfortable? I just bought a 2024 Kawasaki Z500 2 weeks ago, and the stock seat is crap. My butt bones hurt and gets hot and burning sensation within 20 to 30 minutes.

Pretty good. You have a custom iinterior and rusty body. 😉

Is that painters tape?

Superb

Thank you so much very helpful.

What type of foam you are applying the glue to in this video?

Love your videos!! I’ve been doing upholstery for a year now, and just got my first industrial walking foot sewing machine that’s a lock stitch. Do you tie of your ends when your done sewing your lines? Because I notice you don’t use a back stitch. Or can I rely on my lock stitch for that? Because I’ve been tying off all my ends when I’m done sewing a line

Great content, great seat, great father in law❤

Have you have any customers complain about leg circulation because of the front part of the cushion? At first i didn't have any issues with the comfort,but since for more than a year i feel extreme pain in the back of my knees every time i drive for a couple of hours. Like the metal front frame its cutting my circulation to my legs. Im thinking of buying a new seat or get a new diferent model seat to see if it has more padding.

Stepdown bit

Are you using stretch or regular material ? Learning a lot watching your videos. Thanks.

Newbie question? Do you need to wear mask when grinding foam? Do you get foam dust that can get into your lungs like body filler? May be a stupid question but I really would appreciate answer. Love your videos. Subbed and liked video.

So how much is a white diamond pattern for a Suzuki VL 1500 1998 but not thick like the seat came with plz and thank you guys

Where did you get the cover? I have been looking for one

What kind of material did you use?

The new trend for pricing is depends.😅

Would be really interested to know what size needles you use and the thread specification. I'm looking at maybe getting V92 marine thread as I want a nice thick pronounced stitch, but I don't know if it will fit size 100 needles and it's expensive stuff to make a mistake with.

Awesome video! Excited to see the rest of the project

Wow I just love that look , would look great on my 2016 fatbob here in the uk 😀

Wait a minute, you don't have to take all of the side panels off?

'promo sm' 😭

How in the world do you lower a rebel seat. There’s no cushion to begin with.

Bought some serafil t210 thread after watching your video very nice but what size thread do you use on your boobin?
