I don't know what it is but i could watch your content ages. The craftmanship is incredible and the delivery is so relaxing. Reminds me a little bit of watching Bob Ross.

[@vdubjunkie]

The needle enters the hole on one side and pops through the other side. I know how it is going to go and I have nothing more to learn from it, yet I continue to watch. Why? Because watching an artisan perform their craft is SO SATISFYING!!

Hello CECHAFLO good day, thank you for your video of this occasion, circular upholstery of this important element of the car,,, it's time to enjoy and pay attention, thank you your friend Oscar.

[@percy304]

Gracias por su trabajo.

[@alexekb196]

The master is back, very glad to see you!

[@davidlex8900]

Excellent craftsmanship. If you were in South Jersey, I'd be paying you to redo the steering wheel on my 20 yr old AMG

[@Cechaflo]

You could send it to Mexico. It takes less than a week (FedEx, DHL,etc. shipping) to get here and it takes the same time to be back with you.

[@mohabatkhanmalak1161]

Outstanding workmanship, the result looks nice. I often wondered how this was done, especially the line to cut the material into size to fit the round cross-section of the wheel. Thanks for sharing.

[@washibonsai5307]

Wonderful to see Your experienced hands doing such delicate tasks. The customer sees and touches your work every time the cars is moved. I think it is a special relationship between your hands and his/hers. Is the tool to keep the steering wheel in place available to buy? Thank you for your work and time to show us how to do it properly ❤

[@Cechaflo]

Thanks for appreciating the time and effort we put into making these videos possible and the craft itself. Back in the old days there were no options for steering wheel holders so I did mine in stainless steel for my shop with the help of a lathe operator. Full pieces were worked in two different machines were used, lathe and milling machine. The cost was about $600 USD Nowadays we have online options and we found these on upholstery forums: retroretrims.co.uk/trimshop/en/35 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166014952755 A drill press vise could also be useful, cost accessible and easy to find even on local hardware stores. The one I showed in the steering wheel course was $10 USD approx. ✅ kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpSknpSlqph5aMksi=o-s6aAh63gBG2yWO&t=5331 www.amazon.com/ZGRM-Precision-Bench-Clamp-4-Inch/dp/B09T5WBT84/ref=sr_1_3?crid=H9ZGZX5CUWWB&keywords=drill+press+vise&qid=1697817431&sprefix=drill+press+vise%2Caps%2C321&sr=8-3

[@trisalonso5872]

Why not just cut a strip withe length of the outer circumference and width of cross sections circumference, with extra margin if needed.

[@ethanthompson8884]

[@andreasmakris8886]

Greetings and good afternoon I want to do tutorials on wallpapers can you please send me what I need for registration

[@dogwalkfinds9899]

beautiful work! what kind of glue are you using?

[@Cechaflo]

The 'solvent based yellow glue' is a traditional adhesive or contact cement used in car upholstery and furniture. It is the same glue used to stick formica as shown in the video about Upholstery Glues ✅ kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWPblpiwmatridU

[@trimlydi]

what type of thread do you use? and what size?

[@Cechaflo]

Polyester thread size 207 www.thethreadexchange.com/miva/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=polyester-thread-207

[@issac6197]

I started doing my interior on my single cab but the only panels I’m shying away from are the defrost vents and speaker vents and the b pillar, any tips before I start

[@Cechaflo]

Perhaps some pictures would help to understand much better to give an idea. [e-mail]

[@kflorezzca5165]

¿Y que pasa con los airbags? Gran trabajo.

[@Cechaflo]

Felízmente este modelo de volante no tiene bolsa de aire. Generalmente los tapiceros no forran esa área donde va la bolsa de aire. En caso de llegar a forrar esa parte por pedido del cliente, tenemos que respetar las líneas de rompimiento. Se harían las uniones sólo con pegamento, sin coserlas para que la bolsa se libere en caso de accidente. Si usamos el método que muestro en el video adjunto, se puede coser las piezas, siempre y cuando el dueño del carro autorize. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6SppnmNa76pacU

[@Raptor3388]

Is there a specific quality of leather you recommend for steering wheels ?

[@Cechaflo]

It is a matter of personal taste. Regularly, automotive leathers are used for steering-wheels. As these leathers (corrected/top finished leathers) have two to three coats of transparent sealer/lacquer on their top surface to endure the daily rubbing of hands and UV sun rays. A wet coat is useful to clean it. Can non-finished leathers (full grain aniline or semi aniline leathers) be used for steering wheels? Yes, provided you should be constantly conditioning and very meticulous to do a special cleaning. In other words, these leathers are considered more finesse and better quality than finished leathers. The only problem is we should be very careful with some grease or sweat on our hands; dirt, dust, sunrays, air conditioning, etc. We should be very careful about somebody who wants to touch your wheel, etc. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYHaaIafrbaVbdE

[@pequodexpress]

What thickness of leather do you recommend, 1mm?

[@Cechaflo]

From 1 mm to 1.2 to 1.3 These are standard thicknesses.

[@Sasa-gc8yy]

how long did it take you to finish the steering wheel? Greetings from Serbia!

[@Cechaflo]

Seven hours approx. Greetings and best wishes from Mexico!

[@Sasa-gc8yy]
