One minute to midnight, about to go to sleep and Buckminster drops a new video; Drops all plans of a long night sleep just to watch this master at work 👍 Greetings from Norway

[@Buckminsterupholstery]

I was hoping you didn't use it as a sleep aid... Greetings from the middle of America.

[@mercedeslluberes50]

Hahaha that’s true

[@kennethkirkland5955]

I’ve taken up learning how to upholster and have been practicing with thrift store finds. Your videos are both highly informative and inspiring!

[@dowserdude]

The Master is back, yayyyyyy.

[@barboraferencova4780]

In your hands ... so simple, clean, beautiful !!! Please quickly 2 part :-))))

[@rockysmith9250]

The reason I like your videos so extremely well is because you do your work so extremely well!!! ✝️🇺🇸✡️

[@mariaestherhernandezdoming5720]

[@indie825]

Wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving. Amazing how you can give an old tired chair new life. Love the new color of the legs.

[@sewndebisdream6953]

Thanks for showing this... I have a chair similar to this... I enjoyed seeing your version of reupholstering it. 🤗

Impressionnant de voir une telle qualité dans le travail!

[@leepingyi6721]

It is so satisfying watching this

[@mercedeslluberes50]

[@shriramanawkar4799]

Very nice work....

[@lanyz4688]

Can´t wait for part 2...:)

[@marysauc873]

Excellente trabajo❤🙏gracias

[@Pepsi_Please]

Man. You're good. I don't like double piping either. Love deco tacks tho. Never dreamed I could have both. Always Imagined it would be way too much. Leave it to you to have the answer. You're a genius! Adding minimal tacks over hand made ribbon? Looks absolutely FABULOUS!! You took Geat Grandma's bedroom castoff, and transformed it into a thing of timeless beauty. She's front parlour worthy now. I can't wait for part 2! Btw... Is the sagless webbing you used 17 oz. Jute Burlap?

[@dgzee66]

Curious of what brand the marking pencil is

[@luigibenignochiappero5589]

Привет из России из Сибири! Вы Мастер и делаете всё классно!

Greetings in return from the middle of America.

[@patientspatience2391]

I love your videos. I am working on reupholstering a chair I bought. I'd love to keep its original charm. I've been searching for the right cotton for the chair seat, but every search leads to me to batting. Where can I find it?

[@Buckminsterupholstery]

My source for the (nice quality) cotton batting you see in this video only sells to people in the trade with "sales tax exempt" status. State ID numbers required, etc.

[@ceknott]

can you tell me the name of the webbing, it sounds like sagles please

[@Buckminsterupholstery]

Yes, sagless webbing.

[@j14kworks46]

Kim, are you ever going to make a video showing how to mix your dye stain. I have poor luck with it---------great video, by the way

[@Buckminsterupholstery]

Aniline dye can be very frustrating to get colors right. I've had a lot of bad luck getting desired color. Varies from one wood to another. No videos planned. Ironically in shooting this video the color I started with was too orange so I deleted the footage and re-shot it with another dye after scrubbing it clean again.

[@j14kworks46]

@@Buckminsterupholstery Well, thanks

[@andreakovacs3088]

Why is this only a half video...?

[@rockysmith9250]

Always, always look forward to your videos! I have no idea where I could purchase slip ease! ✝️🇺🇸✡️🇮🇱

[@Buckminsterupholstery]

contact me via my website

[@55bigyin]

Why wouldn't you put a pip edge for the front of the seat Your work is very good tho

[@Buckminsterupholstery]

I will be adding cording around the base when I finish the chair. (part 2)

[@cellagp1]

hello, would you take me as an apprentice

[@PeanutsDadForever]

👍🏻👴🏻🇦🇺

[@lisahodges8299]

You must be the one of the few people who can afford to have a cat. I have recovered two chairs using the techniques to a less professional standard with your help. Birdy

[@Buckminsterupholstery]

No claws on any of our three indoor cats. Glad to be of help.

[@rasuly8059]

Send measurement please

[@Buckminsterupholstery]

What measurement?
