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.

What supply company sells the new springs?

@Buckminsterupholstery 20 күн бұрын

These springs are getting difficult to find. Try Van Dyke's Restorers. The double-return tying seen here is over-kill for this type of seat. Single strands are adequate. I did double for demonstrational purposes. Good luck. "Buck"

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.

I guess there's no way to edit that post but I meant to say King George and typed King Richard instead. Brain glitch . . .

I'm not schooled in this history stuff, so your glitch went over my head. Take note of the three vertical dots beside the heart. Clicking there gives you the option to edit.

@@Buckminsterupholstery There's no adequate way for me to express how much I appreciate finally being able to cut openings for stiles correctly, thanks to you! I get perfection and beauty now after struggling for a long time while achieving only mediocrity and ugly messiness. It's a big deal to me.

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

@Buckminsterupholstery Ай бұрын

Strap springs

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.

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.
