Fantastic skill, I'm a self taught upholsterer and your videos are heaven sent from my perspective. I've never before seen the traditional techniques performed until your channel popped up. Thank you very much.

I'm also self-taught and would have also found videos like this heaven sent 46 years ago. My career would have sky-rocketed. A book and experience is pretty much all that got me here. Thanks for tuning in.

What a badass. Also decided to make me a marshal unit cushion for my lazyboy sofa chair because of this video. Foam has been hurting my butt lately. Though I wish I had that big machine that squeezes, but I have my ways...

Hi from South Africa Buck. I have watched each and every video on this job. What a magnificent job again. You are a Master Upholsterer. What an ingenius tool the cushion maker is. I have never seen cushion making before. I am in awe of this and your ingenius beautiful and meticulous work. Whomsoever receives this sofa is indeed a very fortunate person. It is absolutely beautiful Buck. Thank you for the videos

Very impressed with your skill level and knowledge. This is not a "novice" upholsterer. My mother was a seamstress, and I was too OCD to develop the skills needed to become "good" at sewing, by the time I was done with a "garment," the fabric had holes in it (I ripped it out so many times). This guy, obviously, had the patience to initially live with imperfection so he could develop "perfection." This video is one of "perfection," years of patience and practice. Incredible skill, knowledge, and result. I applaud "Buckminster" for applying his trade and appreciate demonstrating his skill through video. Maybe this video series will inspire future upholsterers to see it's not all about fabric, glue, and a bag-of-trick, it 'takes real skill, years of "application." No small feat. Very much enjoyed this video--and, hope some young dude or gal will see this and think, that's something I want to do with my life.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your highly flattering and inspirational comments. Thank you, most sincerely... When I apprenticed early upholstery basics I was told "if you're going sew you're going rip seams." I've ruined some fabric too... I've never had any formal training in traditional upholstery techniques, only 40 years experience. This is where the patience and desire for perfection fall into play. I shared this many times. "An artist always erases his work."

I came across your video while research how to make cushions for a danish mid-century modern chair I purchased at a garage sale. All I can say is WOW. I new in a vague way there was a lot of work to an upholster piece and matching the pattern is a logistical migraine, especial with cushions. I've never seen the amount of detail (and cotton) that goes into the structure of the inner construction. Thank you for taking the time to document the process and master craftsmanship.

I realize this was done over two years ago but holding hope that you may be able to share the fabric sourcing information. I have acquired two Larkin No. 65 Morris chairs and have been waiting to find just the right material for them...this is it! Thank you.

@Buckminsterupholstery7 жыл бұрын
The inner-spring cushion is appropriate for the piece. Down feathers would make for a softer cushion but it would also alter the posturing of the sofa. Easier? I personally don't like having feathers floating around the shop... Sincere thanks for the kind words.

Go to my website buckminsterupholstery.com and look at the "insights" page. In the photo albums look at "Parlor Set Circa 1920" You can shrink basic shaped cushions with plastic film as I demonstrate in my "how to fix a couch cushion" youtube. More complex shaped cushions don't always work too well this way. I hope this is some degree of help.

First let me say, I wish you were in my neck of the woods. Your workmanship is amazing. Thank you taking the time to show the rest of us - everybody, really - how upholstery should be done. May I ask, what are your thoughts on using HR foam around the Marshall Units, in lieu of cotton, if my cushions will have removable covers? My husband and I recently fell in love with the feel and support of innerspring cushions, but I haven’t found anything that shows how to make (good) ones using Marshall Units surrounded by HR FOAM, instead of cotton. Is it because it’s just a really bad idea? Any suggestions/guidance you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Buckminster Upholstery thanks. It's a great machine I'm going to keep a eye out for one, I've seen you used a vacuume bag as an alternative. Is the bag reusable or is it cut to release the pad once it is in the case? Great videos keep it up.

The plastic film is torn away and discarded. I'm presently filming a video restoring an art deco chair. I'm contemplating a video of the bull nose mohair cushion rebuilding as a separate feature. Regardless, you should be seeing something new in a few weeks.
