This 'basic video' shows on a mock-up one of several 'traditional ways' to give shape on front and rear part of transmission tunnel when installing 'automotive non-heat molded carpets'. Most of old car trimmers know how to do it.
This common way consists in doing a 'T shape cut'. One long cut from left lowest bottom point all around the rounded section until touching the other right bottom point. A smaller perpendicular 'cut' should be done from upper edge to center of transversal line/cut.
For this 'basic demonstration' I am using 'non-backed automotive carpet'. This process would help us understand how to cut and give shape to carpet material around front and rear bulky part of transmisison tunnel.
The 'T' shape 'cuts' are mostly used on automobiles front and rear floor sections.
On trucks it should be done just on front section.
At the beginning of the video I am showing two samples on 'automotive carpet'. There are small differences when working on this kind of material. As we can see, the 'cut edges' would be sewn on its reverse side.
It is important to mention these 'must do cuts' in different ways are commonly used on ' automotive trim carpets' for automobiles. These carpets never would be heated to give them shape. Besides, we should be careful while cutting the edges. They easily fray.
As a particular opinion, I'd rather go for 'custom molded carpets' which are more resistant, all of its forms go in place, and easier to install.
I hope this information is useful for you!

Hi, i am planning on covering a floor in leather or suede, this looks like the way to approach it, in your experience can leather be stretched and /or trim fit like this and mated to a molded underpad?
Michael Tinnin I have not grasped the whole idea. But, I only would say the leather material could be just placed over the molded underpad, and trimmed off where it is necessary. It should not be stretched. Perhaps, the best in case of using leather would be to do the job in sections. Pieces perfectly fitted to the contour of the car floor. The edge of pieces could be binded and sewn individually then attached to the floor giving the desired shape.
The best learn show you how videos are the ones that just show you without the talking 💯
Those relief cuts around the tunnel were simply beautiful.
I cannot believe I watched a carpet cutting video all the way to the end and loved it.
Beautifully done. I love Qualitywork.
The fact that you are thorough is amazing! Thank you for making and taking the time to make the video! I have seen a few videos before and have enjoyed every one of them. Displaying your artistry and magic without a word is complete mastery of your trade and ability to teach. Just amazing! And, thank you!
I really appreciate your kind comment! I do not deserve so much kindness.
These basics would take us to understand and do real floor carpets.

You know, it is well-deserved. The greatest thing we can do in this world is passing on and sharing our experiences and knowledge. One day, some young man/woman will need to work on a project and will create it correctly without shortcuts with precision. People will ask how they did it...and they will say that they learned it from you. Knowledge is a power that very few a willing to share. To pass it on with such simplicity and clarity is just as powerful! I love your humility! Cheers!
Wise words!!! Thanks.
@@stezo15 ... not someday. But right now.... i will answer.... i learn from this man. Hehehe. I watch and learn from his videos.
cheers from other side of the world
i am from Indonesia.
My buddy cuts and sews the carpet for me I glue it down with paint gun. Slower I go nicer job turns out. We measure from front to back side to side. Cutting edges sucks it can make your carpet look like shit if cut to short. Practice with scrap cutting trimming to edge. I get my buddy to cut my edges he has more confidence. Watch out for loom yarn will ruin carpet with screws.
Thanks for watching!
My understanding on layout is being transformed. Thank you so much Mr Craftsman...
Здравствуйте. С огромным удовольствием смотрю на Ваши работы. Вы супер профессионал!
Amazed by the attention to detail. Thank you!
Usted es un gran Maestro Tapicero , que pena de esa gente negativa en algunos comentarios , pero veo que usted tiene más serenidad y paciencia que Kaliman , saludos desde la sana distancia ,
to glue down i use sand bags ... Sand bags are great for complex shapes
Is there nothing you cant do? I look at the project in the beginning and think, "How in the world would you do that!?" Then you do it and it looks so simple, giving me the confidence to try it. That's the mark of a great teacher.
There is another 'basic cut' for transmission tunnels that consists in 'two paralell cuts'. It is simpler and I will show it in a next video.
Thanks for watching these videos!
So THAT'S how you do it!
You make it look easy.
Thanks for taking the time to educate us on techniques that a lot of people can pick up and learn that would take a lot of trial and error to figure out on your own. People can be selfish with their knowledge but you give freely. Not often a common thing in our modern society.
If I could add a little tip for the other newbies out there - instead of using a grease pencil try using a piece of chalk. If you make a mistake its easily removed without any stains. Works for layout in upholstery and other tailoring. You can sharpen a standard piece of chalk to a chisel point with a piece of sandpaper for precision marking.
Thanks for sharing with us an additional tip! Tailor's chalk are very useful in case of carpeting.

Your kind comment is so valuable for us, my son Alex and I!
Yu are welcome anytime!
Boss carpet install. Makes me want to do this on my mini truck instead of the imperfect molded kits.
I would recommend the use of 'trunk carpet' if you are not going to sew the cut edges. It means you could make the cuts and lay them over the car floor. Do not forget the underlay that helps to shape the carpet, insulation and above all it softens the feet treads. The cut edges of this carpet does not fray.

If you are going to use the automotive trim carpet I would recommend sew it down to avoid the fraying of the cut edges.

Hello, Thanks for kind comment!

Thank you!
Please show us how to do wheel wells
Incredible work. However this looks to be for older cars with the round transmission tunnels. Anything for the 90's GM trucks with the square tunnel? Going to go have a piece of carpet cut for my crew cab and do it myself because the pre molded carpet is crazy expensive and not molded very well. The only thing I am afraid to do myself in the entire truck are the door panels and sun visors.
Hopefully these videos would give you some ideas.

Hi Chechaflo, I would like to add a heel pad to my car mats. The mats have a very deep pile 5mm. How to go about this? Could I stitch in a vinyl or leather pad?
What's the name of the material that's under the carpet. The one that looks like a ragg
It is called 'carpet underlay' also used as padding on car seats over a row of wires and springs. Upholstery suppliers sell special carpet underlays for a better insulation.

I assume the bottom layer (cardboard?) is just a template of the tunnel to help you construct it, is that right? Is the intention then to take this piece and glue it into the car? Have you have ever seen or used a system where the carpet uses snaps to clip the carpet into place instead? Thanks for the video!
This is just a mock-up made out of cardboard for educational purpose. It gives us an idea how a car floor carpet is shaped and cut.
Snaps are useful to keep the carpet in place. Some tar strips or other adhesives are useful too.

Thanks for the tips. Very helpful and nicely explained. I will definitely use your technique, however I am a bit afraid that it won't be that easy inside the car :)
Dear Deniz, The cutting techniques on a real car are similar. If you want to sew the cut edges together do not forget to give the sewing allowance on the wrong side of carpet. In this video I only show the cuts but not the sewing process. These basic videos are the basis to understand a real demonstration I will do on a real car floor.
Before the real demonstration I have to upload another basic video that shows two paralell cuts done on front part. it is mostly used on trucks that have the transmission tunnel not so protruded.
If you just want to lay the carpet with its cuts over the floor it also works out. The only thing I would recommend is to get a good carpet that does not fray the wool edges.
Very good video, I enjoy your attention to detail and appreciate you passing your knowledge on to others who watch your videos. Thank you ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

What this carpet type/name used in the video please?
It is called 'automotive trim carpet' which can be molded/shaped to a car floor by doing cuts on certain parts. The 'cuts' are then sewn down on the edges. There are 'heat molding carpets' that have a thick plastic on the reverse and are shaped by using a 'big hydraulic embossing press'. These do not need any sewing.

can i know the name of the material the rug is made of, great work, i'm impressed👌👌👌👌
It is called automotive trim carpet because it can be shaped by cutting/trimming manually in an artisan way. There is a kind of burlap/jute on the backside where the wool piles are woven.
The other kind of car carpet we mostly find in our cars is what is called heat molded carpet. This carpet can be shaped between big dies (male and female) . It has a kind of rubber on its reverse side. After applying some heat over it takes the desired shape. I consider these carpets very strong because of their rubber backing.

Dear Marcelo, Thanks so much for kind remarks!
Welcome to this channel anytime!
Didn't mean to dislike, it said that dislike was disabled by owner, so I had to try.
Do you sew those seams up? Or just glue them down in the car?
In minute 0:46 we can see it is been sewn down on reverse side. It is necesary to give the required seam allowance. I will do a video on a real car floor applying these basic techniques.
The cuts are important to give the shape to transmission tunnel. If I would use a thick and hard carpet I only could do the cuts and lay it down over the floor with some glue below.
maestro gracias por el video , lo hace muy facil , lo pondre en practica, saludos
Me parece buena idea llevarlo a la práctica.
¡Siempre bienvenido a este canal de tapicería!
I Like your poshish decent work
You could talk or are you a spy?...:) They are good videos.. thanks!
What do you use to make the carpet stick to the ground, I tried some 3m spray doesn’t work well also inhaling a lot...
I use a dense spreadable glue (brushable). Besides, there is a sticky product (it looks like tar/pitch) that AutoZone sells. It is not necessary to stick the whole carpet to the ground. Just specific parts (junctions, corners,etc.) to hold the carpet in place.
@@Cechaflo can you tell me the name of the product
@@chaseaustin6898 You would need to find a dense glue. If you are in the USA: these are brushable glues.
www.homedepot.com/p/DAP-Weldwood-32-fl-oz-Original-Contact-Cement-00272/100125525 www.amazon.com/-/es/Petronios-Master-Cemento-multiuso-cada/dp/B076DJQN5R
These glues require the use of mask and goggles for application.
In former comment, I forgot to add the adverb 'besides', sorry. I meant there is a very dense sticky product in black color that looks like tar and can be pasted in short lines on strategical points to stick the carpet to floor ground to not let it move. I do not remember the name but it is sold at AutoZone. It comes in little containers as if it were a toothpaste.
Super interesting to watch! Thanks for sharing!
If a car is got airbags in seat is it necessary to remove the negatives terminal of battery.
Yes, it is necessary.
Me gusto mucho el trabajo que hiciste lo entendí perfectamente, muchas pero muchas gracias por tu tiempo en enseñarnos.
¡Siempre compartiendo algunas ideas con mucho gusto! Estos cortes básicos y aún falta otro son los que utilizan los tapiceros para colocar las alfombras o pisos en los carros.
Awesome video
So do you glue on the backside
I glue down when it is necessary to avoid the sliding of the carpet. Regularly the under layer padding is glued down to the backside of the carpet. The under layer is also attached to the car floor with 'points' of glue to unstick easier if necessary.
Sometimes I use tar strips to fasten the carpet to the metal floor.
I sometimes almost glue the whole backside provided I am using a good carpet. Bad carpets easily fray and tear down while unsticking.

hi what kind of lether are you using in floor carpet?
I have not used leather for this project. If you are referring to the small mat on the left it is plastic canvas.
Great tutorial! Where can one purchase a 2' x 2' section of this type of flooring?

Cómo se llama esa tela de color azul que va debajo de la alfombra???
El material sintético textil/fieltro que va debajo de la alfombra le llaman "guata de relleno'"o "bajo alfombra". En inglés le dicen "insulation material".
En el caso de las alfombras de carro lo colocan debajo como 'aislante de calor y ruido' Ademas sirve para emparejar la alfombra y que las pisadas del conductor o pasajero sean suaves.
Se usa sobre los asientos de carro también, Sobre los resortes se coloca el "yute", luego sigue este relleno de guata, luego la espuma y encima el material a tapizar.

did you sow the back of carpet
How did you build a transmission tunnel template?
I have used a hard cardboard (same used for packaging) to make the mock-up trying to replicate a classic car floor
thanks , very good video, I have 72 impala that im going to replace carpet
How do you join the edges?
At the beginning of the video I show the cut edges were sewn down by using a sewing machine. These roughdraft samples only show how the most common cuts on trim carpets are done. In a near future, I will show the complete process on a real car floor. It will be a course.
Thanks for the beautiful tutorial, this is what I was looking for to do up my cat. One question i have after you have cut the carpet, what do you do to put them together - glue the pieces or sew them together. And either way that area will have double layer, do you thin down the carpet in that area. Thanks again for a nice tutorial.
At he beginning of the video you can see the cut edges were sewn down (do not forget include allowance) The edges of carpet material can be sewn together easily. It looks like it is very hard but it is not...they are very soft, believe me!
These basics can be applied on a real car carpet floor.
Thanks so much for watching the videos!
@@Cechaflo Hello Friend, thank for reverting back. Yes yes there is stitching that I had forgotten to look at. This makes life easy and I will most likely do the work my self, all thanks to you 😊 🙏🙏🙏
