Whoah!!! I was like, “I think I can do this?” Then came the button machine 😬...then came those pleats!!😳... you are a master of your craft. Great video.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Haha thank you Lucas!! You can send buttons off to be made for you if you wanted to give the pleats a go yourself...you might surprise yourself 😉

[@amandawitt9052]

The tufted back is so beautiful. Well done. This is like the best video on the internet for me right now. I'm waiting on fabric samples before I can get started on my project. Also, the tool list...homie, you're a rockstar.

Hey which website do you get high density foam?

[@faceliftinteriors]

@@abbasalkaabi6525 I get all my foam from GB foam 👍🏻

[@markward5149]

These look amazing mate can I as what mite be a silly question. How have you stuck the back to the wall ?? Thanks for your time

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Mark - sorry for the delay in replying. Thanks a lot mate 😊🙏🏻 no, on this one there was a frame built that the backs fitted on to but you can attach the backs to the wall if you fit a sheet of MDF on to the wall and attach it to that 👍🏻

[@tauntonlad]

Out of curiosity what sort of peice would this cost mate. Great video

[@projectresonate5142]

Superb video

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thanks so much 😊🙏🏻

[@rsh916]

Fantastic! WOW. What kind of foam did you use?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thanks, we used 2" firm Blue foam for the seats, 0.5" blue foam on top of the seats. And the backs we used a 2" medium white foam for the buttons. Many thanks 👍🙏✂️🧵📐⛏️📎

[@emmadjavaid5845]

No doubt u r excellent carpenter better if u write on the screen or in description box what measurements, material, plywood name. I am Pakistani its difficult for me to understand your accent n machines u r using. Hope u will accept my request. Thanks 4 your cooperation. Best rewards

[@faceliftinteriors]

I didn't do the carpentry on this one unfortunately. Just the upholstery, hope you found this helpful. 🙏😊🧵✂️⛏️📐

Brilliant

Thanks Rick!

Is that astroturf on your lawn? Great video! Always educational and enjoyable.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Sandy - yes it’s Astroturf or artificial grass 🤣 stays green all year round and no cutting required! lol Thank you so much, always a pleasure to hear from you Sandy.

[@stevequincey]

Hi, on the 9x6 diamond what size would you mark the fabric if I’m using 4” high density foam? Is there a ratio just in case I decide on a smaller diamond? Very helpful video by the way

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Steve - I would put your foam on and drill out your holes and then measure to the bottom of each hole to see how much extra allowance you’d need to give on your fabric. 4” foam is going to be really deep...I usually use 2” but it’s up to you! It also depends on how much your fabric stretches as to the allowance you give too - so the more it stretches the more allowance you give. So on 2” foam with vinyl I would give approx an inch top to bottom and an inch side to side allowance on each diamond...just as a guide. I hope this helps! And thanks for watching!!

[@lucyallen2009]

When cutting the holes in the foam, what ratio hole do you use in relation to the size of the button? I have 20mm (size 32) buttons and can't work out what size to cut in the foam! Thank you. Great video's :)

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hey Lucy! Great question! I usually use 19mm buttons and I cut my holes with a 32mm drill bit. There’s no exact science to it but I just prefer the finished look with those sizes 😊 just make sure you cut the holes larger than the buttons (just not too much larger) and you’ll be fine 👍🏻

[@lucyallen2009]

@@faceliftinteriors that's great, thank you very much!

[@faceliftinteriors]

No worries 😊

[@LeopardLuv8]

Hi, what kind of fabric would you recommend? Thank you!

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi there! I used a vinyl for this one. If it’s in an area that’s going to possibly get spillage I’d go for a leather, vinyl or an aqua-clean fabric. But it can be done in any fabric really 👍🏻

[@BrentDaughertyMe]

I'm confused. You put velcro on the back of the cushion but when you moved it from the bench there was nothing holding it on.

[@faceliftinteriors]

The velcro is attached the wood lid of the box so as the seat is removed it takes the lid off the box too. Hope this clears things up? ⛏️📎✂️📐🧵

[@BrentDaughertyMe]

@@faceliftinteriors yes. That makes sense. Thanks

[@DirtySnales]

Beautiful work as always, watched the whole thing and learnt a lot too. Keep them coming 👍

[@faceliftinteriors]

Cheers brother, that means a lot! Looking forward to your next video too 👍🏻

[@MissBanks777]

I’m wondering where can I find s video for the actual chair

[@bouncykingsnortheast6392]

Hi what size is the MDF cut too for backs & seats. TIA

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi there! It depends on how deep and high you want the seats. I would cut your seats and then upholster your seats first and then measure your backs. I can’t remember the exact measurements of the MDF on these, sorry mate!

[@MG-ks1qg]

Oi mate you got yer staple gun loicense?

How thick was this foam mate, hope your ok and still busy mate 👍

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hiya mate! The backs were 2 inch white and the seats were 2 inch blue with half inch blue over the top. I’m good thanks mate - hope you’re doing well!

[@SweetStickyStuff]

how was the bench built

[@junaidf]

How many hours does this whole process take?

Hi! This one took just over two days 👍🏻

[@samiraandmoe6699]

Whats that bread cutter looking machine called that you use for cutting the foam?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Samira! It’s a Bosch Foam cutter...there’s a link to it in the description of the video 😊 hope that helps!

Im looking to make some bench seating for my restaurant. Ive been quoted $300 for a 16"x48". I need 40... Can't afford $12,000 so I'll do it myself I guess. What type of Vinyl and how thick would your recommend?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Jim! Upholstery grade vinyl is what you’d want. Check the fire regulations for your country too as it needs to meet stricter regulations for commercial use in the UK and has to be FR treated with crib 5 here 👍🏻

[@MrSmoothasf]

Great video, that mic is harsh though!

[@ishtlutz1261]

Hey I just bought these “Crystal head push pins” they’re like large Tacks with crystal/diamond-like rhinestone tops. I’m realizing I might have take a different approach to the diamond tufting part wouldn’t I? Do you think that by buying these “crystal head upholstery tack/pin” things that I limited myself to how thick or padding I can use? Because I’d think they’d need to make it into a hard surface in order to be secured; like a nail or a tack would..... Sooo.. yeahhhh. Basically am I correct in assuming I’ll have to approach a project like this in a slightly different way? Anybody? Hello? Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi! If you drill holes in the foam, it will definitely help the button/pins to attach to the wooden frame. It also depends how long the pins are! Send me a message on Instagram with pictures of the pins you have and I’ll try to advise the best I can!

[@monatomicgold]

Hiya there! Curious what your foam cutter setup is? Looks like a Bosch- did you replace the blade with a longer one? Thanks! Love your vids :)

[@monatomicgold]

Also curious how you attached the backrests to the wall/booth? Velcro as well?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi there Sara! Apologies for the delayed reply. You’re right, it is a Bosch foam cutter and I have attached a longer blade - I believe this one is 30cm 👍🏻 We attached the backs to the wall with a pin gun this time around. Thanks for watching!! Really appreciated 😊👍🏻
