You do very good work. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world. May I ask, do you use the same sized staples for the entire project?

[@jillkaiser5064]

Thank you for explaining why you do the steps you do, so much better to have you talk to us 😁👍👍👍

[@suedowe4302]

Thanks for this. I have been looking for exactly this video. I have chairs exactly like that to redo. The set is 50 plus years old. You gave me inspiration to do this !!!

[@cherylbutler446]

Very nice! Great directions. I have 2 chairs I will be using this on. Thank you!

[@ssartre5240]

You are a very nice person ALO sharing your knowledge so others can learn speak very highly of you. Thank you very much.

[@angieangie21]

Love your videos. I have some Drexel box welted cushioned slip seats the same design as these chairs. Could they be reupholstered the same way as these chairs? They seem to be missing the extra wood flange that you staple into to - I wonder if the edge of the ply slip seat base cold be used for stapling and then the whole cushion screwed onto the chair ? I much prefer this style of cushion. Thanks :)

[@thevictorian87]

WoW! Excellent workmanship. I've always wanted to learn. Now that I've been locked up at home because of this virus, I'm going to .

[@khaledali-jr7nb]

Can you put a video about different materials you are using including glues , staples , fillers, springs and nails. thank you

[@Practisepiam]

Thanks for the tutorial. May i know if repeated stapling would weaken the wood?

[@tiffanieflorian9968]

Is he even stapling to the wood? When he cuts it off it doesn't look like he stapled to wood. Looks like he stapled above

[@ireneteran5192]

You did an awesome job 😍

How much fabric do I need for a dining chair like that?

[@maribelgarcia2393]

Good job 😊

[@aggietor9208]

I'm watching your videos in the last 3 years.. it's just amazing how you work... and finish...Learnt a lot

[@myriamocampo1586]

I've realized that my chairs are horrible!! 😂😂 very good work!! 👌👍

[@lindarivera10]

Very nice job

[@beadonitboard]

I love your videos! I have 5 old Hotel chairs to do, and they have metal squiggly rods in them, can I take those off and just do mine like this?

[@ALOUpholstery]

Thank you! It's hard to say without seeing the chairs but most chairs can be done like these chairs.

[@beadonitboard]

@@ALOUpholstery Thank you! Have had them for 5 or 6 months now in the garage..am headed out there now to take one apart and see what is inside and am DOING them..cause I am inspired!

[@isabelzhuang4417]

I am looking for a similar kind of dining chair. But some are made with zig zag spring. May I know the difference between having zigzag spring and without ? Is the chair more comfortable without the spring ? As in this kind of Louis Chair.

[@anngeeder5181]

How much fabric does the chair take

[@tzbalcon3454]

How much over the sides must the 6” foam be cut to fit a chair.?

[@yolandagubaton2289]

What kind of stapler r u using brand name and where I can order it ? Love your show!!

[@alice30045]

Hajji, all the supplies used in this video are listed above.

[@cjhsshjc4959]

Could you please give a list of tools you use. Get the companies to sponsor you so you can mention the brand's you use. Thank you for the remarkable videos. Brilliant.

[@lorrainemurray2488]

have you done any reupholstering of a dining room chair where the back has an arch window like you would see in a Catholic Church the foam is flat on the back but it's thick in the front so when you sit in your chair you're actually sitting up so how do you do that part over without messing up the design of the chair? I've done the cushions of my mother's dining room chairs and covered it in plastic not realizing that one plastic was thicker then another piece it was kind of hard but I did it but what is the best way to put plastic over the materials on your chairs ,what is the easiest way to do that? What size staples and staple gun should I use to give the chairs a professional finish? The only staple gun that I had was your standard household staple gun, so for an amateur I think I did okay ,now I want to do my own dining room chairs. Which material is easiest to work with a vinyl ,leather or cloth? How much yardish is needed for reupholstering your standard diningroom chair?

[@ALOUpholstery]

I have done many dining chairs and don't always get the chance to make videos. I'm sure I may have come across a chair that you're talking about hard to say without seeing it. A standard size upholstery gun and staple will be fine. Cloth is usually easier to work with because it has more give and cloth will last longer then vinyl as vinyl will start to peel after a few years. Yards all differ pending on the chair if its full covered or if its seat and back or just the seat. Hopefully I was able to help answer your questions.

[@Gluluman]

hello, Just to let you know , you are true craft-man

[@fgvartezanato-em-pneus4432]

Perfeito. Como eu queria trabalhar com isto

[@tjanecki]

What is a good resource for fabric if you don't have a business license and live in the U.S.? LOVE these videos! Thank you!

[@ALOUpholstery]

Thank you, I think you local fabric supplier will usually carry upholstery grade fabrics but must fabric companies will sell to the public and since you are in the U.S. You will have many options even without a business license.

[@ireneelizabeth4462]

How much is the bill for a chair like that? You work fast. Thanks for the in depth job.

[@kinchin_editz]

What kind of glue are you using

[@anglonig1]

Darren, Are you going to do a video on the big deep button white leather ottoman at the very start of the video. Thanks.

[@ALOUpholstery]

I have done many tufted videos. I believe I did a video for that piece awhile back ago.

[@anglonig1]

@@ALOUpholstery Iv'e searched through your videos and I can't find it. Would love to watch it.

[@sergpupkin3998]

СПАСИБО !😀😀😀

[@hajjipowell3234]

WHERE'S your business located? I would like a tall queen size head board.

[@sharonkreps8193]

what make is your staple gun? It sure would have made my job easier! And do you have a double cord presser foot on that sewing machine?

[@marcelosandri5999]

Darren, hi 👍🔝congratulation

[@ALOUpholstery]

Thank you!

[@susanfarley3044]

What model is that stapler, please. This is a great video. I’m trying to learn upholstering and I need to get a good stapler.

[@lamarin8556]

Thank you for showing how you applied the double welt! Beautiful job you inspire me.

[@massimostu8106]

hi! why don't you fix the bigger foam with staples? thanks!

[@zhizhi9138]

Please name the brand and pattern # of the fabric .

[@TheLMMish]

Is the smaller cushion always necessary? or just to plump them up?

[@yakupkose1831]

Hey great

[@ALOUpholstery]

Thanks

[@ozarkswebdesign6366]

What is that tool you use to cut the foam with?

[@anglonig1]

Looks like a Bosch foam cutting machine, their not cheap, in England they're around £400

[@erinbelk2585]

What table do you have

[@colleenjackson8358]

It looks so easy but I know if I try this my chairs will look like a DIY project gone wrong. 😁😁😁. Best I leave the upholstery of chairs to the professionals.

[@AS-rc1jr]

🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍

[@user-hh4te3ik3b]

👍👏👏👏👏

[@carenallen5841]

Ohhhhh you covered both back and from of chair separately……not seen this before !

[@carenallen5841]

I’m surprised you didn’t use something to make back more durable

[@harryharry7953]

The way to apply double welt with glue is not good.

[@buddleiabee]

Messes up the pattern aswell. After he took so much care to make it all aligned. I've never seen this technique before.

[@alice30045]

I couldn't help but notice that on the chair's back, instead of webbing, you used a heavy tightly woven fabric ---why? Would it be it's because that chair's back won't need that much extra um (?) strength...I can't come up with a better word.

[@ireneteran5192]

Very nice 👍🏼🥹thanks
