Thank you so much for your videos. I am learning so much from them. These are invaluable. ❤

Hi Buck, where do you get that thick cardboard? I'm having trouble finding it

Definitely Turkish style tufting. But it is a very old style. Believe me, even in Turkey, the number of craftsmen who can do this can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

Excellent workmanship. I congratulate you, my dear colleague.

9 years late, but I'm glad I found this video.

I admire the high level of skill this craftsman has. Beautiful work and an unbelievable amount of patience. Would like to see this trade promoted more.

Great Job!

Great job, Thanks

What are the measurements you used for the replacement cushion. I know how to do the rest I just want a very firm cushion

Whew! Well done

This series with the sofa has showed me so much

I wish I could take a clss from you. The videos are so much help. Thank you

I'm working on a chair dating to civil war era. I'm trying to stay true to the original horse hair but I'm not sure I have enough to make it very nice and full. The original stuffing also had spanish moss inside.

Dry cleaning bags work as well as slip ease

What cord was used to tie the coils together?

I'm late to the game in watching this wonderful resource. I have a question about the product you refer to as "Slip Eze". May I ask if this product differs from the product used to ease foam into a prepared case? The "Slip Eze" mentioned in this video looks rather like interfacing. Most references to Slip Eze I've been able to find look like 'plastic'. And the 'stuffing' used (on the lower base) is it upholstery batting (wadding) - cotton? Thanks for your help. Appreciate the video.

Your attention to detail, ability to explain so well, along with your skill set is as good as it gets.

The use of two types of fabric was very popular during this era. Thank you for doing a wonderful job and using the appropriate styles and tools. And as I always say, thanks for using gimp and not that hideous double piping everyone defaults to that is not historically accurate.

thank you for NOT using double piping. Gimp or braided cord is the only authentic application for this. Don't let people talk you into double piping if you want an authentic chair.

Hi! Great video! Do you soak the spline as well? If so, would you measure to cut the spline after the soak?

Thank you. I learn from you more than you can imagine. If you come to Europe please consider making some classes.

I don’t have an Eastlake rocker but I do have a late Victorian style or perhaps 1900-1920s tied springs on webbing. Looks to be reupholstered in the 50s with embossed vinyl. Going to use your videos to walk me through reupholstering it with fabric.

I have a hard time finding whool wood here in Québec, can you give us were you buy it? Mayby they deliver in Canada. And how much do we need for one Eastlake chair?

thank you very much this is just the information that I need!

What supply company sells the new springs?

Where to buy that?

Always amazing to see your expert craftsmanship. I miss you guys!

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! I've looked at a lot of upholstering videos and you are the only practitioner I've seen who understands the vital importance of fabric weave/grain. Because of your instructions, I am taking the extra step of pulling out one crosswise and one lengthwise thread from the foundation fabrics I'm using (not the show fabric) which leaves me with barely visible lines showing the layout of the grains. My old eyes aren't too great so I mark those lines with chalk to make them more visible. I've seen upholsterers attach fabrics rather clumsily on the bias and then complain about the resulting stretchiness of their fabric . . . okay; I've never done upholstery before my current project but I was an amateur seamstress for 55 years so I know how one achieves stability. And THANK YOU so much for showing exactly how to cut the fabric openings around the chair stiles. I've been fighting with practicing that for months now, unknowingly following very bad online advice. I came back to you to seek better instructions and found them in this video, which is very important to me since I am about to cut silk/cotton damask outer fabric and can't afford to make any more mistakes. This is my first upholstery project -- I am working on an antique Queen Anne/King Richard-style side chair (found at the Salvation Army) whose elegant frame was close to destroyed by very bad upholstery work. I spent weeks clamping and hide-gluing and all that until the chair was solid again. I am so grateful to you. If my budget ever improves, I hope to contribute to your financial support. I'm poor as heck but I owe you, sir.

Thank you sir!

Cuánta sabiduría. Eres San José el carpintero. Dios mío. Mire toda la restauración del sillón Victoriano.. aplausos. Saludos desde Argentina

Looks really nice!!!

Thank you so much for sharing your art! I love you deeply for it. ❤

Im currently learning comercial upholstery and found this video helpful. I like your corners. Our family business is comercial upholstery.

encore un travail excellemment réalisé ; quel jeu de patience tout cet assemblage. bravo et respect Monsieur👏👏👏

How do you call these type of springs you've used for this chair?

I’m doing this now I’m using rub and buff and a gloved hand for more control of color. I don’t want too much color.

Gorgeous!

I have a rocker almost identical and I want to recover the seat. This has been so helpful. You are truly an amazing craftsman.

Very helpful!

magnifique ; finitions parfaites, tuto toujours très intéressant. félicitations ; j'attends le prochain travail pour m'en inspirer (peut être). 👏👏

The absolute best upholstery vids on the YTube ❤ Thank you

I thought I had horse hair in my Eastlake but now I think it’s wool. The wool doesn’t look good. Could I pull out the wool and replace with cotton instead? Your craftsmanship is amazing. I don’t think I could pull this off.

Awesome video. I purchased 4 chairs with cane backs plus they were painted but one unfortunately had rotted away. So I’m going to try to fix it myself to save me lots of money. I went to the fabric store which only one type of cane and it was heavy. So I turned to Amazon and there was a kit with cane, book and wedges which looked like the back of my chairs. Can you do a video on how to measure for the spline size, type of cane, etc. I watched several videos on KZbin but yours was most helpful. Thank you

What if my chair does not have a groove or canal to lock the cane press any advice or video tutorial

I learned so much!

That’s a very different type of tack puller. Is it still available on the market?

I live in Louisiana and I have been having a heck of a time finding a vendor that carries the 13-15 gauge springs for the backs. Do you know of a source in the states to get these? I have ordered some from England but prefer not to do that often. Thank you in advance!

Just finished redoing my two eastlake chairs! Hopefully they last another 140 years! With your videos help, I think it will!

He's a master 🙌 👏🏼

Great content, my friend. Hope this wonderful craft never gets lost! Congratulations from Spain
