    Great video, thanks - to be honest the two main things I got from this video is I can now use a hacksaw blade to cut bread and, now I know what to do with the packet of blades that I mistakenly purchased that are too short for my hacksaw. Cheers 👍👌

    I am using a hacksaw blade on my current project and it works well. I found that some masking tape on the end I was holding makes it easier to hold. I was even able to cut some 2" foam down to approximately 1" thick. Not perfect, but close enough.

    @desparky Před 17 hodinami

    The rule of thumb I was taught regarding hacksaw blades is to set the teeth for a pushing cut if the blade is in a frame, and pulling cut if only hand held (or in a single end handle). Pushing it when it's unsupported induces bending. I guess when you are pushing the blade in a frame it is being pulled by the front of the frame, but it is also under a lot of tension to keep it straight.

    Could you do a video on replacing seat foam when the seat cover is in good shape. Why? I have a Ford E-450- based RV. The seat foam is too SOFT and isn't supportive at all. What I'd like to know is what grade of foam to use to make it more like the trucks or simply pretty firm. I'd rather not replace the whole seat with an aftermarket one just to get better foam. $$$$ Thanks.

      Hi Bill, I do have a pretty famous video about foam repair. czcams.com/video/N14VbKUdctk/video.html For stiffer foam, I would go to high density foam. Please keep liking and watching!

    Richard thank you for taking the time to answer questions. I did have a question that I can't seam to understand. What does the correct stitch look like. I'm adjusting the tension on my machine to get what I think is a good stitch, but I'm not an expert

    • @oldschoolautoupholstery
      @oldschoolautoupholstery Před dnem

      Hello Leo, For thread tension, I pull the top thread and bottom thread at the same time to feel the tension. They should be close to equal. When stitching you should not be able to see the bottom thread from the top. If one of the threads stiches look loose, just tighten up a little bit. I believe once you got it dialed in, you will never have to touch it again. I have not adjusted my thread tension for a few years. Please keep liking and watching!

    • @kipdrewrey3154
      @kipdrewrey3154 Před 2 dny

      I also have an upholstery shop with steamer. My RV project sags from both sides and need to steam to streatcg the vinyl headliner. I watch your videos, but need one to show how you would spray and steam and stretch to put back into T molding center strip.

    • @oldschoolautoupholstery
      @oldschoolautoupholstery Před dnem

      Hello Kip, I do not have that video as I would never try to repair a sagging headliner. The problem is the deteriorating foam. That foam needs to be scraped off before you glue anything. This is why I have only done headliner replacements. I have a few videos on my CZcams channel for that. Please keep liking and watching!

    • @oldschoolautoupholstery
      @oldschoolautoupholstery Před 2 dny

      Hello Klotus, Sure this can be done on other parts. But, I would not use headliner material as it will not last long. Headliner fabrics can sit unharmed in cars for many years because they are almost never touched. Materials like vinyl's or seat fabrics are made for high wear areas. Please keep liking and watching!

      @oldschoolautoupholstery Před 2 dny

      Hello Beo, Yep, good "Ol technique #2832. The sharpie mark was the actual corner. The seam was offset the corner. The black mark was the one that really mattered. If I intended that the actual seam would have also been the corner, I could have done that. Sometimes I put the seam in the back where it won't be seen. Please keep liking and watching!
