A Homemade Upholstery Pattern Notcher - Car upholstery

All the upholsterers know the 'notches' are guides or reference points to do a precise sewing. While sewing procedure the 'notches' should meet one in front of the other.
Most of the times a pair of scissors are useful to do the so called 'V notches'. But, it is possible to get one of these devices at an upholstery store to consider it in our shop.
Even though, I can buy one from the aftermarket I would rather do it myself. This time a pair of 'grozing pliers' one of those tools a 'glassworker' uses to chew off/nibble glass edges would be useful. These pliers have a flat lower part and the upper part is arched.
As we can see, a mototool and a set of small grinding stones and milling cutters are useful for this project.
Although procedure is somehow tedious and time consuming I have enjoyed a lot giving shape to this small upholstery tool.
I hope you also enjoy the video and inspire yourself!

Very good demonstration.

maestro cesar, con todo respeto, lo admiro un chingo... mis respetos mas grandes para usted.

Estimado amigo, ¡Bienvenido al canal!

[@blackwingvisuals5017]

You have given me an idea! I need to make a plier tool that punches holes in boot welting. All the tools I've seen are inappropriate as they assume you are making belt holes!

Excelente don Cesar, usted como siempre sorprendiéndonos con nuevas ideas, muchas gracias

[@Cechaflo]

Aquí en México es difícil conseguir esta pequeña herramienta, pero en estos tiempos es fácil conseguirlo por internet. Lo venden en Amazon, Ebay, Sailrite, etc. Un tapicero no solo debe limitarse a coser, sino también estar entrenado en muchas cosas y tener capacidad de modificar o crear.

[@Lugh.s]

Eso es muy cierto, pues a veces olvidamos que antes de todo somos artesanos creativos y que no siempre todo se debe comprar o nos debemos limitar por falta de algo.

Thank You...FANTASTIC

[@Cechaflo]

Thanks for appreciating this art craft!

Estimado Cesar. Hoy estuve modificando una pinza para convertirla en una engrampadora para ganchos como usted explicó en un anterior video. Ahora voy a hacer esta. Como usted sabe en algunos países de latinoamérica a veces las importaciones son un poco complicadas y estas herramientas no se consiguen. Muchas gracias por compartir sus conocimientos. Le mando un abrazo.

[@Cechaflo]

Estimado Juan, Me da mucho gusto que se haya insipirado para hacer su propia 'pinza engrapadora'. No se olvide que para este caso no se debe destemplar el metal para nada. Hay que tratar de conservar el temple con el que vienen las pinzas para que el corte sea efectivo. Amazon vende por internet estas herramientas. www.amazon.com/ZXUY-1-X-Pattern-Notcher/dp/B00134C4HO Pero si desea hacerlo por si mismo y a la vez entretenerse, me parece buena idea.

[@josuelservin2409]

Muy buena idea, siempre termino aprendiendo algo nuevo en cada video, muchas gracias!

[@Cechaflo]

¡Me da mucho gusto que estos videos sean útiles!

[@JLBRAVOELTAMBORNAY]

Muy buenas videos, used siempre sorprendiendonos con su sabiduria. Quisiera yo tener su creatividad. Mis respetos

[@Cechaflo]

Aunque ya los venden listos en amazon or ebay es importante hacer algunas cosas nosotros mismos haciendo trabajar la mente y el espíritu creativo que todos los seres humanos tenemos.

The most important thing I did not see how I did is the age sticking on the handle and whether you added it or not visualized the scene. And how to apply and reduce the jaws do not vary

[@deltajohnny]

Wow... a precision work!!! Some months ago I purchased a normal notcher in Internet and it struggles to notch some upholstery leather, and after watching your video I can, at least, try to manufacture one like yours, but I am not sure if I can reach your level of perfection ;-) Thanks again for the great video, and I hope that your son's camera was not "injured" with the Dremel sparks while recording this video ;-)

[@Cechaflo]

This tool will make its debut to the bucket seat in a next video where I will show one way to make its two cushions backrest and bottom seat. It is possible after an upcoming small upholstery video. No problem with Alex, my son. He is been recording far away using the camera zoom lens. Thanks for always keeping an eye out for these videos! You are welcome anytime!

[@deltajohnny]

Thank you very much again to both of you and you know that we always look forward to your very useful and informative videos! :-)

YOU R VERY SMART MAN. THANKS .GOOD VIDEO . MARK H.

[@Cechaflo]

Hello Mark, I really appreciate your nice comment! This new tool will make its debut to the bucket seat patterning I will show in next video. You are welcome anytime!

[@iangibbons7942]

Cool idea and nice video. Have you ever tried an ear notching tool? I have seen a few upholsterers using them.

[@Cechaflo]

I have never tried a 'pig ear notcher tool' I think it could work out nice as you said many upholsterers use it. Thanks for sharing with us this useful information!

[@kimberlyposkey]

That's neat whole lot cheaper, what about a material/pattern table

[@Cechaflo]

These V notch tools are easy to find on ebay, amzon, etc. www.amazon.com/Malco-N2R-MALCO-Notcher/dp/B002JAWJRQ www.ebay.com/itm/Klein-Tools-86526-HVAC-Hand-Notcher-/202368103342

which glue is best for artificial leather

[@Cechaflo]

I have used the same yellow glue/cement for artificial leather...I mean vinyl, faux leather, etc. As I am located in Mexico, trade marks are different. But, if you are in USA, please, check these links: angelusdirect.com/products/all-purpose-shoe-cement www.ebay.es/itm/Petronios-Master-All-Purpose-Cement-Glue-Shoe-Repair-Adhesive-Glue-4-oz-/112032405167 www.homedepot.com/p/DAP-Weldwood-32-fl-oz-Original-Contact-Cement-00272/100125525 www.dap.com/dap-products-ph/weldwood-landau-top-trim-high-heat-resistant-contact-cement/
