    Disturbingly you are the last thing I see pretty much every night 😆 amazing videos - can’t really thank you enough - the work you put in your videos are second to none - and it shows in the end result - I am self taught - been doing upholstery full time for about 6 months and without your videos I wouldn’t be as far along as I am - A humble wish would be more leather projects - but really just wanted to let you know how amazing it is that your make these videos

    • @faceliftinteriors
      @faceliftinteriors  Před rokem +8

      That’s really flattering, thank you Dennis 🤣 so glad you find the videos helpful! I’m also mostly self taught too, started off just by watching the professionals do their thing and then learnt more through doing it myself and making lots of mistakes along the way! So I wanted to make these videos in hopes to pass on my knowledge to someone else eager to learn 😊

    • @adrianv1160

      you could just go ahead and make the leather projects and then try to find a buyer? idk how the industry works but I'd be all over it 👀 hahaha

    Hello! I am raking up the views for this video. I am self-taught, doing my own furniture that needs a facelift. I am doing a small child's rocker and this video is exactly what I needed to guide me through the corners and how to make this rocker less bumpy, and much easier. I had everything done, when my sewed up pattern ended up to short. I think my foam was thicker than the original. It also had piping along the seat and up the back. My fabric started fraying when I was pulling it to the back. UGH! I took everything apart and I am following you step by step. You make this look so easy and seamless with a beautiful finish chair. I am hoping my rocker will come out the same way. I will not be sewing pieces together this time. Thanks for putting your tutorials up here.

    I have un-upholstered dining chairs similar to these. I like how you took off the wooden seat and replaced with webbing. Much softer seared feel I’m sure. Great idea! I will also watch my back rails. I may need to remove some and replace with webbing. Webbing for the win! Lol

    Was the dacron removed before covering. Love the videos, I am attempting to start this on 8 chairs, never done this before. so starting with the first. I'm using existing foam, but where I am increasing the level of foam, and adding another level I might need some more dacron!!

    I’ve watched all your videos and appreciate your craftsmanship so much; both with the quality of your video and the care and quality of your upholstery. I appreciate seeing a professional working with quality and precision. Thank you!! I’ve learned lots from watching you.
    I would really appreciate seeing a video of reupholstering a glue-lam plywood shaped seat.
    I am planning to reupholster 8 dining room chairs. They are glue-lam shaped back and seat with a curved front , 1” foam and fabric cover. I will completely deconstruct, refinish and refoam. I would like more cushion than the original but I’m concerned that a thicker foam would not shape to the curves. 1” + 1/2” + poly?? What would you suggest?
    Thank you again for excellent instruction.

    • @faceliftinteriors
      @faceliftinteriors  Před rokem

      Hi Carol, that’s really kind to say - thank you! I’m glad you find the videos helpful 😊 do you have Instagram by chance? If so, send me a picture of the chair you need to reupholster and I will help you the best I can. I find it easier if I can see the piece to advise properly!

  • @chrisparsons7807
    @chrisparsons7807 Před 9 měsíci +1

    I agree with your, no cut corners, attitude completely. I'm the same way and go that extra step to make sure anything that comes from my hands is solid. But as a person who's currently reupholstering a similar chair, do you think your excessive staples will make it harder for the next guy 20 years from now? Perhaps a centimeter or half inch apart would suffice.

    • @faceliftinteriors
      @faceliftinteriors  Před 8 měsíci

      Thanks Chris. I wouldn't say I'm excessive but I would need to re watch the video. Thanks for your support. 👍😊🧵✂️⛏️

    I wanted to use horse hair as the bottom layer above the initial muslin. Is that a good idea or do i need something firmer below it like some thin plywood cutout?

    • @faceliftinteriors
      @faceliftinteriors  Před 8 měsíci

      Horse hair is good. Don't use boards as they don't give when sat on. There is a guy on here called Buckminster Upholstery who is great with traditional methods. 👍⛏️✂️📐🧵

      Depends on the state of the original foam. Don't take it off if you don't need to. I took all this off to show how bad the original manufacturing was. 📎✂️🧵📐👍

    @braveheart9097 Před rokem +1

    Good work but I have one question. Why not just use 5” foam for the death and just trim the edge with your cutter to get that dome shape? It felt like more of an effort to do all that stuffing

    • @faceliftinteriors
      @faceliftinteriors  Před 11 měsíci

      Very difficult to get a smooth perfectly rounded edge that way! I find this much easier! Hope this helps! Thanks again for watching! 😊👍🧵⛏️✂️📐

    This is crazy. You replaced a solid piece of board in the seat with flimsy bands/straps??? Why would you do that? I really don't get this type of construction - instead of using a solid base you folks go for straps ... the foam is there for cushioning, there is no need for the straps.
