Square Body Seat Upholstered

[@buggyfamily47]

This is one of the best overall seat reupholstery videos I have seen. Thank you so much! You have helped me get 2 vintage industrial machines going. One was locked up & they other had bobbin take up issues. I bought the machines & planned to learn truck upholstery so your channel is a one stop shop!

[@elihu2504]

Wow... such a fabrication !!! I am so taken back with all your work and such attention to detail. Thank you for bringing us a probable "hint" to what you do! My question for you is, how to address "k" leg frames and wheel caster applications? I haven't heard of a good solution yet. Thank you so much !!!

[@dalegunderson4135]

The first time I saw you in clothes that you made . I was impressed. Now I am in awe.

[@AlexanderDyer]

Thanks Gunny, such a nice thing to say. I'm welding the floor in next. 💀

[@LivingInTheShade]

That is absolutely stunning.

[@TwistedMinded]

Sharp looking, Mine is a 1983, and i also redone the seat. Only 1 sold color. I love the looks of this one. I may have to redo in 2 colors

[@AlexanderDyer]

It is a classic design. Lots of good examples to look at on the webs.

[@FrancisoDoncona]

Learned a lot here, especially about foam repair. Didn't realize you just cut away bad areas and could just glue in and reshape. Now I realize how to add bolsters.

[@kboleather]

Fantastic! Now to restore the rest of the truck!

[@jimhuskins8506]

Marvelous! One of my favorite videos. Thanks so much.

[@einars899]

Nice work! I picked up some tips here. It looks like you have to make new carpets too. 😁

[@kevinorr6880]

Very good. You have so very many skills and talents

[@genedyer87]

Continually impressed by your many, many talents. A mesmerizing video.

[@AlexanderDyer]

Thank you so much 😀

[@scoopold]

Such good style. I needed to be asleep by the time I started this video but I couldn't stop watching. The process is inspiring, and the results are striking. I can't wait to see more of the series. I'm a huge fan of old Chevy squarebodies and keeping them alive so I'd love to see the before, progress and after documented!

[@RI0T999]

Interesting use of the edge guide! Your machine is what i need, except in a cylinder arm. Really awesome work sir.

[@AlexanderDyer]

This is my new favorite machine, you would love it. Thanks 🙏

[@keithbrown4243]

I really like the way you use the reverse lever to get the next stitch exactly where you want it to go. I never thought of that, that's why I watch your videos.

[@tave9011]

Rudolf at old school upholstery has a similar style that I like Great job!

[@AlexanderDyer]

Good eye. I learned these techniques from that channel, I have watched more than a few of his videos and I will use this method again cause it works great. I am also a fan of Cechaflo

[@user-wo7rz3yn4o]

Wonderful to see a craftsman at work. It seems there are not many people that know how to repair things anymore, at least in my country (Canada). Thanks for the video.

[@AlexanderDyer]

Lets bring back more trades schools and Vo-Tech. 💪😀

[@metteriggs2151]

Awesome and fantastic. Looking forward to the restoration of the rest of the truck. Thank you!

[@AlexanderDyer]

Me too!😂

[@kenwallace8035]

NICE JOB Jason! Looks great

[@AlexanderDyer]

Thanks 👍

[@vintagesewingcentermuseum6636]

Nice job sir

[@AlexanderDyer]

🙏

[@home8046]

One of your best, Jason. Bravo! What a ton of work. That old Chevy never had it so good! Sarah and Rich

[@AlexanderDyer]

Thank you Sarah and Rich! I'm working on all this rust, wow. It won't be a show truck but I think it will be a good one to teach my son how to drive with a clutch.

[@donleamon8653]

I’ve got a rot free ‘80 K20 for sale right now here in AZ… I would head for Z Hills if I saw that kinda rust! Love the video. Automatic transmissions and upholstery are the only things I don’t do in this shop, and I’ve always wanted to learn the latter. Steep learning curve, and without someone like yourself as a teacher, seems like it would be a lot of trial and error. Thanks for showing this.

[@AlexanderDyer]

I need to start shopping in AZ! 😆 I kinda wish I didn't have to mess with all this rust but it is time for me to get to work. Thanks 🙏

[@ricromrec]

Fantastic, with great style!

[@AlexanderDyer]

Many thanks!

[@phooesnax]

Thank You. Great lessons here!

[@coachoverton]

Excellent!

[@billmeade56]

Very nice!

[@luizgonzagasilveira6980]

Se não fosse a espuma velha eu daria nota máxima

[@denisebooth866]

Cool 😎

[@AkwkyAkass]

Looks really badass. Your sewing is so clean. 👌 Btw, does anyone know story of the music? Can't seem to find the original by the name alone, and everyone is on about "9 years" or something. KZbin links some crazy (?) Indian music video?

[@AlexanderDyer]

The music credits are at the bottom of the description of this video. 👍 Thanks 🙏

[@polkunus]

I never knew how those leather roping/piping that are used as trimming here worked. What if you have a complex pattern or unusual color? Can you make your own trimming or can u fold the leather in a certain way to create that piping effect?

[@AlexanderDyer]

yes

[@chrismontoya4266]

22 LR casing :)! The cat supervisor lol, wait was the probond (tex135) made in Canada or USA? Note not your usual 105 corespun of course.LOL

[@homealtitudetrainingoxyhoo3484]

Hi Alex , I am a big fan of your channel, I love your work and how you shoot you amazing videos, do you have a website I can look at ?

[@AlexanderDyer]

Thank you. alexanderdyer.work/

[@mcdonald408]

What are your thoughts on the Duerkopp Adler? I was reminiscing about getting the last stitch right in the corner the way you did, right hand onthe handwheel and left on the reverse lever. I have brushless dc servo with needle positioner on all my machines now and pop that last stitch in the corner by estimating how far to press the reverse lever and then tapping the pedal to get a single stitch. Marginally faster but far more exciting than the tried and true method. Keep up the great work!

[@AlexanderDyer]

I love my 867 ECO(nomy). The all manual machine suits me and the way I work and my level of skill (meaning low). I had the Juki 2810 with automatics and these machines are very comparable but I went with the 867 since it is setup as a manual. When you have needle positioning you can still advance the machine by hand for those corners or whenever you like, right?

[@mcdonald408]

@@AlexanderDyer we all oogled over that 2810! Yes, with the needle position on the kobe dc800 motors, you can still get that needle in the corner manually. I just find it sporting to try and accomplish the same thing through a bit of guess work on the reverse lever position and being able to tap the pedal to get that single stitch.

[@mchaves7663]

Amazing execution. What sewing machine and thread did you use?

[@AlexanderDyer]

bonded nylon 135 and 210. Duerkopp Adler 867 I did my best to show that in the video but it's a lot to take in. I'll update the description to include this info. Thank you for your question.

[@fun_ghoul]

You guys have road salt down there too, eh? LOL

[@AlexanderDyer]

Mountains of salt.

[@fun_ghoul]

@@AlexanderDyer I hear that. Cheers from Ottawa.

[@larrys5022]

a verbal narrattive would have been helpful

[@AlexanderDyer]

Lots of good upholstery tutorials on KZbin. I didn't feel confident enough to really tell everybody what to do since this is my first so I opted for the more artistic approach to just let it be what it is. I like this guy www.youtube.com/@oldschoolautoupholstery

[@dannyl2598]

Very nice!
