You make it seem so easy and with the confidence you set up the pieces....really inspiring

[@ALOUpholstery]

Thank you!

[@ladeldesmadre]

I have watched so many upholstery videos and I am so pick because well my dad does upholstery in California and he is such a perfectionist. But most KZbin leave wrinkles or many fabric lumps. You are really good😍 I hope to one day have that skill♥️

[@katelynkriel8070]

it came out amazing!! i would just have really loved to see the result with a bed to get a better idea of what it will look like in the room

[@ssh348]

it's so cool to watch. this is not the kind of style i want to make for my headboard but i am still watching for different techniques. I wonder what was the cost of materials for something like this. Leather must be expensive...

Thanks for sharing. I like the cardboard strips technique. I plan to do an arch headboard with segments like your channels. But I suggest using bedrail hardware to make assembly and disassembly more robust.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR WORK! I WISH I COULD WORK WITH YOU! AMAZING!!

Beautiful job! Im going to try to do this to my pre-existing headboard.😬 all I have is scissors, spray adhesive in a can and a staple gun. Wish me luck!

[@safeinmyheart1]

I'm preparing to make one. How did yours come out? 😊

[@ShopTherapy623]

one of the best ujpholstery youtube channels out there! Still waiting to see your technique for a "through hole" in upholstery - like a breathe hole in a massage table. Can't make mine look good

[@ALOUpholstery]

Thank you!!! Hopefully I get a chance to make a video for you with a through hole.

[@ElisaBrown89]

Why is this so relaxing 😊 it was very therapeutic and lovely

[@michellecordell9739]

That was excellent! I’m attempting my own and you have described the steps perfectly. Can you briefly describe the construction of the board you upholstered onto. Thickness of plywood ect. Thank you

[@KL-Lady]

Please record the process

[@thamaradiez5834]

Loved this video! If your strips are 10 inches wide on the headboard, how wide are your fabric strips? 14 inches? Thanks!

[@silajoannie5579]

yes, Job well done, I thought I could make one till I watched this and realized myself i could not, Very Beautiful Bed though

This was so well done. Lots of great tips!

[@mykelb]

Nice work. I would like to see how you built the frame for the side rails. Obviously there is more to it than what you have shown.

[@tiay4220]

Amazing CLEAN work! About how many yards of Fabic is needed for a project such as this one?

[@pkk639]

I'd have liked to see how you went about attaching the leather on both sides of the channels, particularly where they butt up next to each other.

[@soniaskolnick3868]

He showed that. Once he tacked the first piece of gray leather down he flipped the next piece upsidedown on top of it. You can see it's blueish underside is facing up. He then stapled through the underside up leather, the previous leather and the cardboard strip, then laid another piece of cardboard strip on top of the same edge, to keep the new leather edge straight, and stapled it down. The only place where he did not put a second strip of cardboard was where the wood was. He proceeded to glue and lay down the next piece of foam, then a layer of polyester on top of it, and flipped the leather over them both so that the grayish side of the leather was then facing up. He finished that channel by stapling down the leather to the next cardboard strip that he had laid down in the beginning. That is what I saw. I hope that helps.

[@pkk639]

[@Mamamia90210]

How did you begin making furniture? You truly found your calling!

[@evalasido1001]

Hello Darren, how would you entirely cover wardrobe doors or cupboards with top stitched faux leather without the tufted effect . Would you use some sort of glue or a staple gun? I would love a video on that topic!Thank you for your amazing work!

[@ALOUpholstery]

Thank you for watching our videos. when i do get chance ill make a video on how to cover the front drawers. Darren

[@suzy1229]

Just like everyone else on here, love your work!!!

Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos we do appreciate it. Darren

[@naturesfinest2937]

The most important part that I want to see you keep editing out .. how do you staple on the inner part closer to the preceding channel? You show just the outer part

[@kd9601]

Seems you took that question right out my mouth. I watched patiently thinking he'll show it but he didn't. Trade secret? I guess I'll use the easier method which does it as individual channels and then glues them onto the backing panel.

[@chrissyface618]

He shows it at 6:32. He has the fabric upside down over the preceding channel, staples down the inner seam, then folds over.

Hello! Just stumbled across your video. I have a question about the leather on the bottom side rails….. I noticed the piece you used to cover it was stitched together. Did you stitch it together yourself??

[@catheyhorsfall5479]

Very helpful!

[@renaeethengain4854]

You are a master craftsman. Thanks for sharing.

[@mrsweaver5930]

Is there 1/2 foam on top and bottom or just the sides? What size plywood do you use? 1/2 inch?

[@TheRaissarenee]

Literally what I want to make in emerald green velvet. How long did this process take? I’ll assume it’ll be twice as long for me. ✌🏾

OMG 😲 I love this. Although, I think there's certain steps that you could have explained a little more in depth I still love your technique and style vs the other ones I've seen.

[@Frank020]

True that. I like your thumbnail. lol.

[@biebiemichael]

I’ve been a fan for a long time love your work. I want to make a circular back drop with the same channelling. My question is what is the wood made out of? And can I use MDF because the back drop needs to be light and easy to handle (movable). What’s your suggestion?

[@biebiemichael]

Wow, that's beautiful work. What are the dimensions of that headboard? It looks so big. It seems like it would be very heavy and difficult to maneuver.

This is the same style bed I would like to build. Do you sell blueprints for the bed frames and how to upholster? I would defiantly purchase it.

Do you buy the cardboard strips precut or do you cut them yourself? - Great video!

[@kindjekool5317]

Do you have a tutorial of the same style but all squares? I did every square separate. Do you do it the same as you did with the cardboard strips?

I bet your hands must get tired after pulling the slack out of the vinyl like that over and over! Are there any mains/battery staple guns up to this kind of job? Or do you have to commit to a compressor?
