[@j.l.emerson592]

Your video tutorials are helping to preserve a vanishing craft. They will continue teaching long after you are gone. What a legacy!

[@northerngirl4666]

Now people will understand and close their jaws after it’s dropped after getting an estimate from an upholsterer. It takes years of skill and knowledge and it’s an art. I took a course on these traditional methods but we learned how to use tacks. It was very, very difficult and a ton of work and very, very time consuming. Thanks so much all the closeups of the little details … I learned so much!

[@edwardcricchio6106]

So true. My father was in the business for over 40 years. I worked with him in his shop and people would gasp hearing the price for a re-upholstery job.

[@iiqtkimii]

And this is why truly quality furniture is so expensive. The amount of time, detail and care that goes into making it. Fascinating!

[@pataustin1977]

I never dreamed that there was so much tedious work going into restoring an antique chair bottom!!

[@nancibishof6462]

Best video yet that I've found showing the process of rebuilding the upholstery of a stripped bare frame to finished piece. Thank you!

[@catharina2022]

If you want to see another masterupholsterer watch buckminster upholstery🙋🏼‍♀️🌷🇱🇺

[@user-db7uu6cn2b]

Best tutorial video I’ve ever seen! It’s one you want to save permanently for reference!

[@bobm5500]

Excellent - the first time I have seen the corners stitched off correctly . This video is a very good guide to upholstering .

[@shellydehart8217]

This video gives me more appreciation to those who do upholstery especially on older pieces of furniture. I’ve learned so much from watching your video n definitely this one. I would love to try my hand at it but unfortunately I’ve got arthritis in wrists n hands. Thank you so much for taking the time for sharing n explaining many of the things you do n why. ♥️♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍👍

[@marymorrison2484]

Whatever you are charging, it is not enough! What an incredible amount of knowledge and skill you have.

[@mrscalifdreamer]

So fascinating to watch. I tried this about 40 years ago but the teacher was very impatient. There were 5 of us students. I was the second to quit and sadly the rest followed soon after. He was very condescending especially to us 2 females. You make me want to get out my old tools and give it another try! Thanks.

[@atrestorationplus]

Upholstery takes a lot of time to learn.

[@marigeobrien]

Strangely enough, I also took upholstery classes about 40 years ago. In NJ, though. I was fortunate because my teacher was very patient and helpful, supplying tools (though some we had to buy), and doing extra bits that required sewing. You need a special heavy-duty sewing machine with that kind of fabric. I'm watching this now because I am thinking of doing a few of my old chairs-- one that I had just bought shortly after taking those classes. (I reupholstered 2 chairs during the class; then hired the instructor to do a couch that coordinated with it. He did a great job.)

[@user-kq9hp8jp3g]

😳а вдруг это твой учитель?

[@user-kq9hp8jp3g]

Отличный ремонт!

[@arnarne]

@@marigeobrienHello, I am considering taking lessons and learn this so I can re upholster some old chairs I got from my grandmother. There are no springs just "stuffing" in them. Do you think this is a realistic idea or does it take years of practice before one start to get it right? Thank you very much!

[@raidenreloaded124]

Upholstery fit for a King!

[@helenakhudyna2360]

It looks like it belongs to the museum! So perfect!

[@jennylawson1980]

Your upholstery work is wonderful. The attention to detail is impeccable. Beautiful final result

[@SugarCreekWoodwright]

Patients of a saint for such beautiful work! Thank you for sharing!

[@goetz-york]

There are only two youtubers whose videos I always look forward to, you are one of them. Greetings from Hesse.

[@patriciau6277]

I love watching your videos. You make it look so easy.

[@Eduardo-uo7qs]

Good job! You were born to keep history alive. Congratulations! Rio-Brasil

[@jilldavies7094]

That is going to be a very comfortable chair.

[@jeffbassin630]

You have done a beautiful restoration of this antique chair. It's stunning!

[@justmoney2]

I am so impressed with this man’s skill. I will try this with my chair. I pray I’m able to finish the job. Sir! My hat is off to YOU!

[@aprilfox1057]

Thank the lord for the staple gun 🤣 great piece, again.

[@judithhannigan296]

Excellent! Wonderful to see a craftsman using all-natural materials!

[@bonniesgarden7869]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I am preparing to restore a mid-1800, extremely elaborate sofa that is literally falling to pieces. I need springs, webbing, fabric, wood repair, little wheels for the feet, everything! It must weigh at least 150 pounds. Has wood shavings, horsehair, etc. It was given to me for FREE because the owner didn't want to mess with it! It's gorgeous and I can't wait to restore it.

[@WakandaBabe]

Just the video I was looking for. Thank you. And thanks for not playing that annoying banjo music you hear on videos of this type! Subscribed.

[@c0ldc0ne]

Impeccable workmanship. You are a master of your craft.

[@MOLLIMEDIA]

Very nice work. I appreciate your attention to detail and craftsmanship.

[@cherylellington8521]

Good job. I did not know how much work it was to upholster a chair. I think I will look for an upholsterer to do my chair.

[@lyndasymms3779]

I am thrilled to have found your tutorial. The production is so professional that it enabled me to understand certain techniques far quicker, easier, and in more detail than a 9 month college course I attended, and paid ‘handsomely’ for. Thank you. I’m now a subscriber.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

You made that look so easy (which I know for a fact it isn't). You are a true master. Thanks for sharing this.

[@heatherinparis]

Thank you for the in-depth look at this interesting process. Your work is beautiful!

[@lauriefox5350]

Thank you the work that goes into restoring a chair of that age, and the end result makr=e it so worthwhile. Thank you.

[@linashigapovaw9043]

Какая красота , супер.Здоровья вам и удачи.

[@eastender416]

Great job 👍. I’m an upholsterer myself, we’re the last of a dying breed lol. The only advice I would give you is to cover your work table with some kind of fabric (not vinyl because the pieces you work on will stick to it) so you don’t scratch the show wood. I was getting nervous looking st the arms on the bare table 😂.

[@lakeshoremac]

You never cease to amaze me. You are truly a master.

[@muratgursoy3730]

Bravo, super workmanship.👏

[@Cradley684]

[@basiapiotrowska4633]

❤ Rewelacja ❤ Jest Pan bardzo utalentowany.Ta renowacja ,krok po kroku ,pokazała pańskie ogromne umiejętności. Gratuluję wiedzy i talentu. Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski.❤❤❤❤

[@ziggyustar3137]

Inside my cushion I used used value village cushions( the ones that form to your head and stay cool) as well as the horse hair (it came with) I only added new materials and recovered my old chair with leather that came from a jacket my Mom bought me 20 years before she passed. Funny how everyone loves sitting in that old chair nice job just love watching someone work/. my fingers are still sore from caneing a wicker couch on wrought iron/ After paying me to fix it and she gave me all the materials to do the job she ended up backing out and said just keep it. I hadn't even started but it looks good in my yard. I feel very blessed watching You work

[@bernardocarrascosantamaria7081]

Bien por este profesional.. También he sido tapicero cuando no existían las pistolas neumáticas. Un trabajo excepcional el tuyo. Me ha hecho recordar cuando empecé a los diez años cuando ayudaba en el taller de tapicería de mi familia. Ha sido muy bueno para mi, poder recordar esos tiempos pasados. Saludos desde Valencia (España) 👻👻👻💚🇪🇸

[@user-vn3oi1jj4d]

Результат просто шикарний, майстру браво!!!

[@Hiris-hu5pc]

You are a master! Absolutely perfect.

[@user-ye8vf5dr8f]

Насколько , всё таки степлер облегчает работу . Я видел старых мастеров , которые работали гвоздями . Это надо видеть ! Они набирали в рот пригоршню гвоздей и потом выплёвывали по одному в руку, и маленьким молотком вколачивали их со скоростью степлера .

[@user-te3di4gk1c]

I really learned a lot about this video. Thank you very much.

[@georghalder2816]

... I'm just trying to get my mouth shut again ... Thank you very much for this exceptionally good presentation of this complicated process.

[@servieres]

Amazing how much work goes into doing the job properly. ❤

[@darilynkrupp6309]

Beautiful & loved watching it done correctly.

[@louisacheung7841]

Great workmanship and beautifully finished👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@MsElenaSt]

SUPER!

[@poppyk6182]

Beautiful 😍

[@annabizaro-doo-dah]

Just gorgeous work....and the chairs not bad either!

[@user-ll3vm4iv8i]

Another beautiful job, well done! Thanks for sharing your expertise.

[@TerryProthero]

Wow. There is a crazy amount of work that goes into traditional upholstery. But I'm betting all the attention to detail really pays off in terms of making comfortable and durable furniture. Although it looks like at a number of points you elected to go with modern methods and materials. Staples, hot glue, and probably the type of padding used as well. Among other examples. Probably because these were legitimate improvements over what was done in the past. Either because of the time involved or because of improvements in tools or materials. Much like you use power tools to repair wood rather than the tools that were originally used to build the piece. But the end result is still very similar.

[@judithcatlett8518]

How the heck did I miss this restoration? I’ve been subscribed/watching you for some time. Oh well, glad it came across my feeds. Great job as usual.

[@marciamcmillan7880]

I'm so impressed by this whole process. Hooray for you!

[@ruthfedrau5546]

I watched this one again! Fantastic work! Thank you!

[@SusieMonk-jh8tj]

Like Shelley I always wanted to try this. I did do a few chairs and a small wooden sofa. How I wish this video was around then! It is always good watching a master craftsman at work. You are one of the best, thank you

[@ransomdaniels8395]

You always make everything look so easy, or at least a.ways in control, when you do this. Even when it's not. Like upholstery. I have trouble putting a slipcover on a chair. But I want to redo a favorite chair about like yours, and maybe if I watch this another 300 or so times I'll get brave and try it. So thanks again! YOUR chair looks beautiful! 😊

[@Kelpiejane3252]

I’m inspired, can’t wait to get started

[@woodksu]

It’s the best video about traditional upholstery! Thanks!
