Modesty is a good trait to have my brother. Having experience and showing people how to do it for free is the sign of a good person. Thank you.

[@VacFink]

Thank you for taking the time to record in English. I have followed the Meca Upholstery channel for some time and watching is very helpful, but sometimes explanation is what makes all the difference. It used to be we all learned this from one person who passed it on directly. In a career an upholstery pro might train or teach a dozen people during their career. Now with videos like this, the number is infinite and will be a great legacy and great service to the trade.

[@upholsterytips]

Thanks for your comment.

40 years and still humble enough to say he is still learning his art. I hear those words from all the best trades people. You know he loves his craft when he wishes to teach what he learned to a next generation.

[@BigAlsautoupholstery]

Ive been doing upolstery for 20+ years, and I still live watching others, just to see how they do the same thing. Glad to see I'm doing something correct 😂

[@Mikefngarage]

they key thing to doing seats is getting the foam correct. great video.

[@TxPsychoLobo]

💯

[@r-o-r293]

You are the best on youtube doing this!

[@jacksemotchko7812]

I watched 3 other videos on rebuilding foam seats before watching yours. The first one I decided I could get my 4 yr old grandson to do what he did. The 2nd I realized I already had the ability to work at his level (I have some experience with boat upholstery) The third person I started learning from. Half way through your video I said to my wife, “this is a real craftsman who is showing you what 30 years of skill building and a commitment to quality can do for your end results.. very impressive, thank you!

[@Jkirk3279]

I like your work. When I did upholstery I rarely used the foam knife. I glued the foam in place and then sculpted it with a 2 1/2” 40 grit sander belt. It was like magic. Just a little bit of powdered foam ended up on the floor. Even repairing raccoon damage was easy.

[@johnmccoy1478]

Thanks for all your hard work . I’ve learned so much watching your videos. I am to an upholsterer also. Again thanks.

Great video! Explained very well. That any novice would feel comfortable doing it.

[@TxPsychoLobo]

Great video

[@randypeck4754]

I learn soooo much from you. thank you for the videos!!!

[@yaniratar2834]

Thanks for the videos it helped me allot just did my chevelle seat reupholster and new fome which I did for the first time turned out great

[@arhzee3310]

An auto body cheese grater works great as an alternative for grinding foam. It doesn’t make as much of a mess and works fast.

[@CulinarySpy]

Thankyou very much sir for your generosity in sharing your skills and knowledge!

[@sspeedy2859]

[@vibeline583]

You are a true artist!!! Bravo! Thanks for sharing.

[@dgzee66]

Great video , thanks

[@carlfischer6363]

Thank you for this. Beautiful work. I noticed that there are no slots for pulling listings through the foam. Will you glue the seat cover listing to the foam?

[@PhillipHall01]

Great work! What is the name and brand of the pneumatic foam cutter you were using? It looked to cut excellently! Thanks, Phillip Hall

[@sandisherck4636]

Master Upholster !!!

[@jimbob3708]

I wish I'd known how to do upholstery when I needed seats done in my 50 Ford. The shop that did them, made a mess of it. Now I'm stuck with them. I really need your help :/

[@mikebundock2858]

VERY NICE

[@LeJean_Dennis]

Great video, thank you so much for your lessons. Any chance you can put links to the tools you are using. I am very interested in some of them. Thank you again. Great content and instruction.

[@daytonpyro]

1st? 2.5 density be good for office chair. i think you should make a video on that. its so confusing how you lay out all the leather pieces.

[@bernardoghinzelli6791]

Hi, what blade do you use on the foam cutting machine please?

[@andretanoe4368]

Impressive! 👍

[@jesusprieto9733]

Maestro un favor disculpe, cual es el part number del blade que usa en el snap on airtool?

[@richwillard9194]

Could you tell me what size and style of hog rings do you use? And do you recommend stainless steel or galvanized, or what is your preference?

[@PhillipHall01]

Thank you for placing the video in English.. It is only burlap covering the springs? I do not understand how the staples hold the bottom foam to the burlap? Did you place some other material between the burlap and springs for the staple to hold too? Much Thanks for all your videos! Phillip Hall

[@PhillipHall01]

Never mind, I just watched this again and now realize you didn’t use staples, you used hog rings. (I didn’t realize they made a pneumatic hog ring machine.)

[@valentincastelo]

PERFECTION!

[@lisaarmstrong238]

Hey Hon, did I see from your fb group that you're closing your shop? I'm so sorry. I really appreciate your videos. I have a great opportunity before I'm ready! And your videos help so much. Can you tell me what you used for the layer before you put the foam in this video? Is it jute and burlap? Thank you again. I would pay to come to you for lessons!

[@stevencovington9508]

amazubg video!

[@MrDonohoo]

Thanks so much for the informative videos. What saw blade are you using on your air saw?

[@deankay4434]

I just bought an air saw and had plans to cut metal with short blade 32 teeth per inch. Now, you show up to this party with a “Saws-All” blade in it! Wow! I will check to see how it attaches with a set screw or spring loaded pin. As asked, those of use would like to learn. DK, ASE master tech, 78 Retired but doing my own covers, but it starts with the foam base, bolsters on sides to achieve the shape and feel. This one has my butt in it! LoL

[@zorsts]

40 years!!!! and yet you look like a young man.

[@papergatorzfedducca7998]

Thank you!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jasonhull5712]

Hello from Indiana USA, just want to say I really enjoy your channel. Is your shop here in the US ? Do you buy your glue in 5 gallon cans ? Where to buy it ?

[@stitchthisditchthat259]

What size compressor do you run? Thank you

[@roguepetunia]

What is the IDF (the firmness) of the foam? Thank you

[@kendavis6370]

What saw blade are you using in your airsaw

[@772777777777777]

Where'd you get your poster supplies from for example and two plastic clips thst replace hig rings..that GM uses now in their seats also plastic j tabs

[@deankay4434]

I have seen for sale at certain upholstery supply shops but don’t for a local fastener supply that Carrie’s nuts & bolts. One in our City carries the plastic “J” strips GM uses. I do have one problem even though you can re-use them, but over time they open up! Then when sitting on, become loose and un-clip. I do like them but you can’t beat a strong fabric with listing wire. Just cover sharp metal edges with split fuel line glued. Pull material over it and use hog rings in holes drilled in to frame by you. I’ve had a MIG since 84, then use round bar stock in such a fashion it can’t bend. I am normally picky, but this set of truck bucket seats are mine, covered in leather! Best of luck but the J-Channel is sold if you want to use it. Just remember, heat & time makes it open up & become loose. It is great new, but 10-13 years, falls off metal edge of seat. It use coated fiberglass used in “Stucco” as 10” wide on 50’ rolls & heavy for $12.

Have a link for hog ring gun

[@williamcritcher4755]

Can you do a video about the air knife and your glue gun, how to clean it and how often you clean it?

[@upholsterytips]

I already have the video about air nife

[@isshyaa]

Wow !!!!!

[@luishernandez567]

Que tipo de navaja le adaptastes a la máquina de snap on

[@upholsterytips]

Una sierra Milwaukee de 12 pulgadas solo le saque filo

[@Face-u3m]

👍

[@valentincastelo]

a mini sanding plane would be a good tool instead of the mini grinder.

[@ryanellis642]

What’s the blade on the snap on saw

[@upholsterytips]

12 inches i just sharpen

[@S17239]

What glue are you using?

[@upholsterytips]

I use LANDAU TOP AND TRIM GLUE
