I'm watching this after seeing an amateur upholsterer's video. Watching you work and seeing your results...it's clear that you are a professional. Very, very nice.

This was awesome! It definitely makes re-upholstery less intimidating. I’m excited for my 1st project! I’m re-upholstering my Great Grandmother’s lounge chair that is now mine! ❤️

This was so helpful! I’m no professional, by any stretch, but I’ve done a bit of upholstery here and there. I’m getting ready to tackle my traditional style sofa though, and this answered a couple of bits I was unsure about. I know this video is a few years old now, but if you see this, thank you. 😊

YouTube has changed the way they monetize my content. My channel now needs 1, 000 subscribers so it would be amazing if you could show your support by both watching my videos and subscribing to my channel! Monetizing my videos allows me to invest back into the channel with new equipment to improve the viewing quality so a small gesture from you goes a huge way for me 😊 Many thanks for your support!

Been upholstering since 1985, bit sometimes it’s just nice to, watch others doing it and I’m still learning bits many years later.
the info on the tightening of the springs at the beginning was really useful.

Lovely upholstering, think you might need to treat yourself to a Bambi silent air compressor though! Mine is perfect for my small garage workshop. When it kicks in, it is as quiet as a fridge.

Hope business is ruining good for you, I’m always booking 12 weeks ahead !

This video made me realise exactly why I’m going to hire someone to do my couches and not attempt this myself!

These types of tasks are fascinating for any lover of furniture design and it's something that can be extremely useful in many situations. For example, I love leather sofas, but this time my wife and I decided to go with a Ducaroy sofa fabric boucle that we ordered from Manhattan Home Design because we loved the pristine white hue of its finish, but if we decide to switch back to leather some day, I hope I can do it myself. Thanks for the tutorial!

Just found your channel and after years of watching upholstery channels, am glad I did. Love your straight forward explanations and the little mini videos focusing on specific areas e.g. arms etc. More mini videos on focused areas would be brilliant! Thanks from Liverpool

The details in this video are so helpful! After watching I gained a better understanding of how to reupholster my couch. I've been checking out other videos for some time and just found this one and for me this has been the most helpful by far. Will check out your the other videos. Enjoyed the bits of humor too!

[jaimegorsuch]

Thanks for the help! will definitely be watching more of your videos!

[barrierable]

[glenbutler]

Kudos to you bloke for a job well done.. started watching this video thinking this would be easy; after seeing the end, I realized it was impossible!😩😵

[melanieminvalla]

This was so helpful, the steps and order of doing things in particular, I'm about to start the arms and would have done them wrong if I had not watched this! Being a Londoner I also appreciate the accent and humour, so many of these tutorials are dull dull dull but you're a geezer!

[trellhughes]

I'm in Nashville TN and this is what I do. I am an furniture upholster! We do couches, car seats, wood, and more, you brake it we'll fix it... 😉
