[@1980sSinaloense]

Holy shit this guy is the definition of a master craftsmen ive seen lots of rewrapping steering wheel videos and they all have the same technique but you did it in a completely different technique this is amazing the best ive seen 👏 im the type of guy todo everything on his car himself because i dont like anyone working on my car besides myself and if I don’t know how to do something then i learn how to do it but i can honestly say id let you do my upholstery without hesitation 🍻

[@cecilfreeman6147]

Wow you are a master craftsman! Maybe you can give me a little guidance? I purchased a kit that has the stitching along the edges of the leather like you fabricated. The kit has some very thin double-sided tape which I assume that I am going to run around the seam line correct? I'm assuming I will leave a little table so I can pull the backside how to tape to expose a sticky part as I progress with the stitching. I will probably have to take the airbag and Horn off in order to get the edges to fit on the three spokes properly. My biggest question is I don't know where to start the stitching?? And also how to hide the knot?? I'm hoping maybe you can help me with a little guidance and suggestions? Thank you!

[@Cechaflo]

I have never installed a steering-wheel pre-made kit. But, I have some idea. Hopefully this youtube video helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZW0imSLlptqj9Usi=2ycYH3LriIccPADP&t=147 Regarding the knot this would be a way to hide it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKaumIKge5aaqq8si=EzXivObypljqpeIp&t=206

[@ayselatli465]

Ustam direksiyonun üzerindeki o kapağı çıkarmak çok zor mu acaba?

[@Cechaflo]

The first step is to cut off the thread stitches in the center line by using a razor blade. The next step is to start unsticking the edges with your fingers and a spatula. The unsticking should be done all around the rim. The last step is to unfold the cover from the top to the bottom. Clean off the surface rim with acetone or another solvent. If you do not need the cover anymore, you could make several cuts to make the uncovering easier.

Hello, I always amaze with your techniques, the result of your craft is neat and stunning. Thank for give us great knowledge video, it's really helpful for me, even I'm not doing any upholstery, but your technique is useful for me as a bag maker . You should give watermark ( your name) to all of your video, for preventing if someone use your video for the bad thing/crime.

[@Cechaflo]

I really appreciate your kind comment! Thanks for the advise. A person who was cheated told me there was or still is a fraudulent online school in Spain that was selling my courses at more than 350 Euros each one. The problem is it is not a video but a series of 'screenshots' of the video to make up a ebook. What to do??? Welcome to this channel anytime!

[@adimuntean71]

hello. I must say you were a great source of inspiration and a big push for starting DIY upholstery projects. That turned surprisingly well. Started with the steering weel and ending with the whole seats shift gear, etc. On my self built campervan. Having custom leather upholstery is a big game changer for the aestetic of the camper. Thanks. Question: is there a way of covering with leather the center of a steering weel with airbag? the deploying pre cuts are visible.

[@Cechaflo]

It is possible if the central piece is cut following/respecting the contour of 'tearing lines' which are visible. It means simulating it is sewn down but it is not. It is only attached/glued down. Something like Mr. Paul did with a wheel:rennlist.com/forums/993-forum/575256-new-paul-champagne-steering-wheel-installed.html

[@vivetusonic]

Excelentes videos Don Cesar. Me sirven mucho porque quiero intentar tapizar el volante de mi carro. obviamente como no tengo maquina las costuras las hace a mano. jejeje. necesito un consejo, espero me pueda ayudar. Como determino la medida en centimetros del rectángulo que debo cortar para tapizar mi volante? me refiero al largo en centimetros. es que veo en sus videos que el cuero entra muy ajustado entonces supongo que a la medida en centimetros de la circunferencia externa del volante debo restarle algunos centimetros. Gracias por su ayuda y por tan excelentes video. Muchos éxitos.

[@Cechaflo]

La medida que manda para los volantes es la de la circunferencia interior. Hay que colocar la pieza rectangular en el sentido que estira el material (vinil o piel/cuero). ¡Muchas gracias por ver los videos!

[@lm0315]

what kind of leather are you using? That is the perfect color for my steering wheel.

[@Cechaflo]

I am using top finished automotive leather. These leathers have a coat of sealer(special lacquer) on top as protection.

[@MikeFrewer]

Hello Cechaflo. I'm attempting my first wheel this week, and have a question for you. I see that you allow 6mm (12mm total) for the stretch around the outside of the steering wheel. If there were three seems, would you allow the same 6mm (12mm total) on each seem or would you divide the total stretch allowance by the three joins making 2mm (4mm total for each join).

[@Cechaflo]

Hello Michael, The method I am showing in this video is only applied for a 'one junction cover'. In case of covers with two or more junctions they should be molded individually using the 6mm additional allowance as a standard measure. The allowance would be wider if the rim of the wheel is thicker. This support video' gives us more explanation about this 'additional allowance':kzbin.info/www/bejne/janThHmEoM-bj5o

Hi Cechaflo thank u for all of your I'm working on the door panels in a 1934 ford what size piping would I use around the inside of the door to trim it out so u can't see the door gap thank u Charles

[@Cechaflo]

Hi Charles, I do not know the correct piping size for that model. I only would say it is a little more of 1 cm diameter. A 'soft rubber hose' would be useful...just wrap around a strip of vinyl/fabric/leather material as if you were doing standard thin piping. To ease the sewing use a 'roller presser foot', otherwise it would be difficult to sew so big piping. If you get 'soft, solid rubber pipe' it would be much better. Watch this video for an idea: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHuogmRtid6YndU Please, watch this other link referring to 'windlaces or big piping trims'. www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/how-to-install-a-headliner-in-a-fat-ford.1027573/ Another video that shows windlaces: www.classiccarrestorationclub.com/video/windlace-installation-010905/ Watch 'windlace trims' for sale:metrommp.com/index.cfm?f=part_list_by_type&Type=Windlace I hope this information is useful, You are welcome anytime!

[@user-bx3kc3dr6c]

how to make a pattern for a leather steering wheel so that there are no wrinkles on the inside of the steering wheel ???

[@Cechaflo]

It is not easy to avoid the wrinkles inside the rim because the stretching of leather is not 100% in one direction. It is possible to make patterns if we cut the pieces on uniform stretch areas of the leather material. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5OZdXeDgpZooZo

Thanks for kind comment!

[@Ridgebackjp]

I wanted to ask what thickness leather is best for this? And where to buy a good quality leather for this, most shops I look, ask 400-500$ for a hide of nappa leather?

[@Cechaflo]

Hello, As this part is on constant daily rubbing while driving it is advisable a protected leather (transparent sealer on top) called automotive. These upholstery leathers come 1.2, 1.3 to 1.4 mm thick. As where to buy it depends on where we are. It could be directly from a tannery or local supplier. It is not necessary a full leather hide. I have found some useful links if you are located in USA to get small pieces: theleatherguy.org/collections/leather-scrap/products/upholstery-scrap www.leatherhidestore.com/leather-remnants-leather-pieces.html www.tandyleather.com/en/category/leather Hope it helps. Thanks for watching the videos!

[@Ridgebackjp]

@@Cechaflo thank you so much

[@przemeknowakowski6852]

Awesome. But can You tell me why you measure inside of the wheel not outside?

[@Cechaflo]

Basically, the inside measure will never stretch and corresponds to the inside edges of leather cover. The upper area will stretch while is wrapped up around the rim .

hola cechaflo.que tipo de pegamento utilizas si se puede saber.gracias.

[@JoseDominguez-hy1um]

Distinguido mi pregunta es como reparamos la goma del volante si esta descastada??? Gracias

[@Cechaflo]

Habría que rellenar con algún producto similar. El aro de goma puede ser duro o blando. Si es duro podemos usar alguna resina epóxica para reparar. Y si la goma es blanda podemos usar el adhesivo de poliuretano que se usa para pegar los vidrios de los carros. Luego de la reparación se tendría que forrar con el cuero/piel el volante.

[@Cechaflo]

Dear friend, I have taken this decision until finding out what is real happening about. One of my youtubers informed me he was cheated from a 'fake upholstery school' in Spain that was selling partially or total of my upholstery courses related to steering wheels (one of 3 hours and the other of 4 hours plus many support videos).He bought the course in 390 Euros. Supposedly, he had payed in advance the required amount of money and the surprise was these people sent him my video-courses which I had free on youtube. Sorry for this inconvenience.

You can always redo it the right way later. I've seen you do a great baseball stitch.....this isn't it. You've much better work.

would be interesting if you could show us how it is done, because for me this has been one of the best videos I have seen and it has helped me cover the steering wheel of my car.

You are right! As this video is educational I think the most important part is the whole content and process. It is not of great importance one skipped stitch. Unless we were in a competition of upholstery. BTW, I have already corrected the mistake, not a big deal.
