Additional notes:
Generally you'll want your seat foam to be one inch bigger than the width of your boxing. For our chair we wanted 3" boxing so we used 4" foam to put inside.

Great Video! Looks like it took forever to make

[@createwithcraftsman]

How did you know?

[@taylormedia1000]

This is really average work full of compromise.

[@createwithcraftsman]

You have a good eye. This is an apprentice upholsterer who did all this work start to finish and you're right-- there is a lot of room for improvement. However the principles are still good.
