DIY - HOW TO UPHOLSTER A BENCH WITH ROLL ARMS - ALO Upholstery

[@lorebeth]

It’s so much easier for me to grasp information when I can see a demonstration, so ALO videos have been invaluable to me. I don’t take it for granted, but really appreciate the privilege of being given a ringside seat to watch a talented professional do something I need/want to learn how to do. This represents the best of what the WWW has to offer. Thank you.

[@miahleissa9599]

FANTASTIC! Wow. There is a huge difference between watching the average DIY er and a professional like yourself. Thank you for all the wonderful lessons! :) much appreciated.

[@patriciabaker332]

I watch a number of videos about upholstery. Then I watch the BEST! Thanks a million. Pause and back up and watch again!!

[@marionoz9980]

Stunning work, you inspire me to have a go. I would love to see you do a chaise lounge.

[@sallyh.m.5726]

[@ALOUpholstery]

sally H. M. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video i do appreciate it and i'm happy to hear i can help.

[@jicabe577]

Good work! Watching a pro working is somehow discouraging... Those skills and tools are not for a DIY. Congratulations from Uruguay!

[@sueellenblubaugh934]

I could watch you all day.

congratulations for the creations that you do, but you also very lucky to have on hand the equipment it takes to achieve your furniture, I'm a blacksmith creative furniture and art objects, but I'm often stuck by the lack of materials, I always have to improvise and invent to finish my furniture it is boring in the long run ... good luck

[@777fiddlekrazy]

very nice job man! I'm in the designing stage of my couch and fireplace for my lounge porch and nook. leaning toward a divan with one side higher to envelope the sitter/sitters more into the fireplace area without cutting the window benches and table away from that spot. again! you do nice work!

[@realnickmasters]

I picked up a bench like this thinking to reupholster it. I wasn't sure how hard it would be to do. I think I'm a little over my head now haha. But if there is any hope that it turns out looking good, it will be because of this video. Thanks!

[@777fiddlekrazy]

+Nick Masters yah! for sure! ill sub for sure!

[@TSD0416]

Excellent work. A++ Thank you for uploading your wonderful and detailed videos. You are very talented and your craftsmanship shows in every inch of your work. My parents want to reupholster their living room furniture. I'm definitely recommending you.

[@adriencaz6895]

Wow!!! great work a pleasure to see a craftsman at work I enjoyed this video thanks for sharing ,

[@siman7129]

I can't believe you are such a great worker.... I think it's help my carrier thanks a lot

[@ALOUpholstery]

siman angel Thanks for watching my video and complimenting me on my work.

[@donreg_gio]

Wow! I love watching your videos! You are an artisan and artist! What I did not understand: You made effort to match pattern of fabric, but then you used the welt (at 16:00) arbitrary. Why didn't you let the pattern match also here? Thanks a lot!

[@malik-8nu]

you are so talented. I love what you do and the easy way to explain the work

[@Shereecenicole]

A video about the arm cover would be helpful. Ps it turned out beautiful.

[@leetingchin9216]

Any chance that you can demonstrate on how to sew the 'arm covers' ? Love your videos!

[@ALOUpholstery]

Lee Ting Chin next time ill go in detail for sewing.

[@gailescue4643]

Could you tell me what kind of stapler you use and the brand. You do very nice work! Thanks so much.

[@ambivalentdisaster673]

I really like your work. I would like to see a little more explanation for beginners such as how to sew the arm slip covers, talking specifically about supplies, tools, and where to find them if you are brand new. (I live in a rural area and am unsure what to buy online. Also the music is a bit too loud. It’s hard to hear you but I’m also HOH. Thank you again for your video. I will look for more that maybe answers some of my questions.

[@zermeno1983]

You are VERY skilled. I'm jealous! Great job!!!

[@ALOUpholstery]

Cynthia Zermeno Thank you for taking the time to watch my video.

[@auranicolescu8774]

[@pinventor5401]

[@lugojeanullugojeanul5461]

Very nice working! Congratulation!

[@icringed540]

Amazing!!!! Where did you learn to make this marvelous things! !! It's awesome.

[@ALOUpholstery]

Linda Rogel Yes i learned all of these things from my father:)

[@nancychong4650]

Your work is amazing. What kind of adhesive spray and cardboard do you use? I want to do a headboard as you did. Thanks.

[@kenkulot7360]

[@Naomii08]

Sos un genio .Me encanta .Podrias decirme .Esa pistola con pegamento como se llama

[@sharondamajor7946]

I've watched a few of your videos today and I like them. I think I have this one figured out, except the arms. I have an idea, but could you explain the arms.

[@ALOUpholstery]

Sharonda Miles The arm has the facing sewn on together first then upholstered together. Darren

[@marthaalegre2275]

Hola. Cuál es el pegamento que usas para pegar la gomaespuma. Cuál es y cómo se usa. Gracias.

[@wendybottomley2376]

a perfectionist, what type of glue do you use and also what gun/stapler

[@mariam1980]

Although we love your work, not all of us have tools in our posession. I'm working with a jigsaw, staple gun and E6000. Do you have any suggestions?

[@monalisa9384]

Yes Great work. I really appreciate it tfs and plz keep them coming. As soon as I can I'm going to implement some of these lesson.

[@ALOUpholstery]

Mona Lisa Thanks for watching my videos i do appreciate it. Darren

[@Lic.blanca_carino_abogada]

me encanta tu trabajo, se ve muy fino y de calidad, gracias por compartirlo.

[@julyblake6842]

Fantastic work !! I'm a beginner and your vid was so helpful!! Your a genius !!!

[@catheyswoboda8865]

I love to watch you work you make it look so easy. Beautiful. I only wish I could.

[@lindarivera10]

Very clean job 👌👍 ☺

[@tracykeenan4449]

I love how you matched the fabric at the front but why didn’t you do it on the sides? Still looks amazing

[@777fiddlekrazy]

i agree about the volume. i really had to volume ride due to the level extreme imbalances.

[@joachimschreiber7835]

cool. but why would you first use THIN firm foam on the seat and then again another THICKER one? why double layer and work?

[@haroldnorris7014]

I followed everything up to the arms. It appears you prepped that fabric prior to starting the arms. If so what did you do to prepare it and is that process on film as well.? I am a complete novice. Thanks!

[@silviafajardo4288]

Hola Aloworld soy de El Salvador. Me encantan sus vídeos. Desde que encontré este canal no he dejado de verlos. tengo algunas herramientas y voy a intentar hacer algunos tapizados. Pero quisiera saber que tipo de broca se usa para hacer los hoyos al foam y como se llama la herramienta para lanzar el pegamento sino es mucha molestia... Gracias y sigan adelante con tan maravilloso trabajo ;-)

[@ALOUpholstery]

+Silvia De Baires Thank you for watching our video we do appreciate it.

[@juansalinas4892]

+Silvia De Baires bueno esa broca la puedes mandar a hacer con un tornero, usas un tubo de acero inoxidable de 3/4 de pulgada y q se solde una barra para adaptarlo al drill. Muéstrale al tornero como la quieres.

[@silviafajardo4288]

Muchas gracias por su reapuesta Macario Salinas. Se lo agradezco mucho.

[@DaytonAllain]

Super impressed with your work! A++++++++++++ job!

[@Maxamillion1022]

Superb and long work. How long it took you to complete the whole project?

[@linda7452]

Very helpful for my more advanced project coming up!

[@lorrainebecchetti4865]

Could you use a regular staple gun to do the same as you are doing because it looks like you are a professional in doing this kind of work. Would a normal person be able too do what you are doing. I just got a seat just like that one and it looks like you have tools for all the work you are doing. Would a normal person like me be able too do what you are doing?Thank you for beautiful work and I hope I can do that.

[@anchongasj]

this one I liked especially. It looks so easy when you do it :) But in reality i don't think it is easy! If possible, could you, please, show once how to build the solid part of such arm or any other that is curved? Would be interesting. Thank you for this video! I hope one day to do such a bench!

[@ALOUpholstery]

anchongasj Thanks for watching my video. next time I'll try to put one video on upholstering an arm so you an others can follow. Darren

[@eloisasantos1973]

Hi. Wonderful work! What a glue did have you used?

[@NiaNicole]

i love your videos! you do some great work. Would you be able to show a video on how to make a tufted crib?

[@ALOUpholstery]

Nia Nicole thanks for the complimenting. When i do get a chance i'll to my best to put one up for the tufted crip. Darren

[@NiaNicole]

thank you!

[@zeliafontoura2681]

Obrigado. Aprendi muito com você seu trabalho é lindo.

[@meltony4859]

The arms are pre-fabricated, how did you do that part?

[@777fiddlekrazy]

kinda leaning toward like a divan or chaise for my fireplace porch lounge area but, with rolled arms one of which will ride higher as the back is to create side sit comfort parallel to fireplace. this will keep social entertaining open viewed without cutting focus off from any portion of room. too bad deep and weathered (aged) leather so damned expensive ah!

[@Tatiana1DisneyMania]

thanks for this I have one I need to refurbished too. this helps a lot! 😁

[@tsongofficialvlog3540]

What kind of chemicals do you use to spray the foam sir?

[@atauderete]

Hermoso trabajo gracias por compartir tus conocimientos good...!!!

[@marcoadrianosanto9328]

Legal mesmo ok obrigado eu vi e já estou acompanhando o seu trabalho aqui no Brasil ...

[@jennymartinez5544]

Muy buenos trabajos, felicidades

[@8892lb]

your amazing I wish I did 1/4 of the works you did... very very nice

[@samarittan9308]

Really instructive video. Thanks so much for teaching us. The only problem was the music sounded like a cross between a porno film and a video game! It was so bad I had to keep muting the sound whenever you weren't speaking.😁

[@tyronedomingo2587]

Beautiful job. I think you're in Ontario, right? You said it may take you less than 4 hours to do this. How much would something like this cost? Also, how much would an average sofa with straight lines cost? I know everything is different but if you can give me a rough estimate, that would be great. Thank you.

[@ALOUpholstery]

Anthony Mitch If you don't mind can you email the picture please. Thanks

[@Eve85719]

What kind of glue did you used to put on the piping??

[@jestrada6730]

Very Cool!! Thanks for the demo....

[@CraftyLittleLady]

Your work is Beautiful!

[@balbino108]

Very good! Many thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@dforte6195]

Been watching several reupholstery videos for about two hours now. Dude, yo technique is absolutely FLAWLESS!!! your Seams and edges are crispy and sharp to def. HOWEVER...as far as instructional videos, I would appreciate it if you defined some of the tools and materials more technically. Like Obviously, when you say "I applied a thin fiber..." when I look for materials on the web, I have to figure out what KIND of fiber. And some of the fabric pieces just appeared already sewn and fitted and I'm like "What the---?" I know it's self explanatory and that I can look things up, but in a DO it yourself vid I shouldn't have to figure it out myself too.lol I,m still watchin though, ijs.

[@sharoncross1297]

Where do you buy this stapler please what's it called. Thanks

[@dondonsabella5045]

Whats that thing you spray on under?

[@ghadazeidan5664]

[@kathybougues9179]

How much do you charge for a piece like this? What kind of glue do you use?

[@jessgomez8191]

That's awesome you make it look so easy!!!

[@ALOUpholstery]

Jess Gomez Thanks for watching out video.

[@hemakalpoo5686]

What’s the name of the tool that you used to cut the foam?

[@anchongasj]

Also how much time does it take to you to upholster such a bench? Thanks!

[@ALOUpholstery]

anchongasj For this bench it should only take me 3.5 hours to complete.

[@xerxesebalan6467]

What is the purpose of the rope?

[@yisselurbbaez893]

son muy buenos y útil para la gente que le gusta la tapicería en seña bien pero deberían traducirlo y dar alguna media

[@kalasinclair284]

I have a sofa seating that is busted and need a vid to know how I can repair it on a low budget.

[@gilmarf.bastos7724]

Olá sou Gilmar do Brasil, vc é 10, parabéns

[@oldmanfromscenetwentyfour8164]

Good videos, but the up down volume of the music is a bit annoying. We want to hear what you're saying but I don't think anyone minds the sound of your tools while you work. Keep the music volume low in the background.

[@luisarojas9271]

Que mueble mas lindo el estilo me encanta.

[@rosycruz5259]

Estos videos prodrian ser traducidos en español por favor, son muy buenos para un aprendizaje, y el idioma lo diiculta , serian tan amable de esta traducción. Un saludo

[@prettygirl6429]

what kind of staple gun and air compressor do you use. I hope one day to be As skillful as you. I'm trying to get an apprenticeship here in Maryland. this is my dream. please respond back

[@dforte6195]

exactly...AND I'm trying to get whatever Jedi hot blade he was using to cut the foam like butter. I guess we have to look it up ourselves. lol.

He's obviously a professional and has no time for those of us working our way up
