Who the idiot doing that???

Yes, great work and nice Harris Tweed. Personal thought, I think lively colors would bring out the modern style of chairs and make them "Pop".

Is there a reason you didn't drill holes in the new base?

And a friendly HIYA, to you too!

I think this chair has leather so old that sitting in it even a little would damage it. Wouldn’t it make sense to make replicas to furnish restored mansions with period appropriate chairs that could actually be used? After a certain point the word patina is just a polite way of saying something is right at the edge of no longer functional.

Harris Tweed is such a beautiful choice, two British design icons in one chair 🧡

What weight of wadding did you use? Is it 2oz? or 4oz. Thanks for letting me know.

So lovely

✔️

What types of wood would you recommend for dining room chair bases?

Great video, have the same problem , where did you order the part please , searched online but no luck finding it yet. Cheers

Great to see you and your work once again. My word but that chaise was exquisite, just lovely...i would buy it, alas i live in California. 🎉❤. Hope to see more of your work.🎶

Aw...wonderful. Thank-you so much Craig.

I’d have that ferrocrete sign away. I’m a concrete testing technician.

Nice vid! But what engine and year is this Hijet? is this procedure the same for a 1.3 efi from the year 2000?

Is there a video for attaching it back to the chair?

Very informative thank you.

Cool vid, the old thermostat was stuck wide open btw!

Good idea with the tyres

It's a shame I never had a chance to get into restauration. Only found out about it later in life. I have infinite patience for fiddley bits and working things out. Oh well. Next life, maybe.

You done an excellent job on that.

It would be interesting to know Craig’s restoration pricing to the dealer.

Craig,your the best.

Graig, you are the Best. You make a very good job. Respect ❤

A master definitely

Always wanted a chaise longue. Suits my life style

Craig "Lovely", right! I didn't detect much hesitation in your response! Phew, I held my breath while you were drilling! Wow, what a jewel, Craig! I hope he got his asking price for it.

What is the thickness of the MDF board?

There is a difference between the Fan coolant temperature switch and the coolant temperature sensor which threads into the block and sends to the temperature gauge.. That was the wrong comparison you made when thinking you had bought a new temperature switch but instead had bought a temperature sensor.

Very useful! Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Appreciated !

Thanks for this! I’m looking to do a similar fix on my sofa until I can afford to get it completely reupholstered. Would a normal furniture staple work ok or should I invest in one like yours?

Brilliant work. Interesting to see what appears to be the helicopter’s tail number painted on the back of one of the seats.

Very impressive! Do you remember how many man-hours went into that project?

Lovely work Craig mate

This is a well explained video, thanks.

🤩

Drew likes it I’m glad it’s on video

You're such a master, never disappointing me! I can't imagine what your failures looked like!

Fantastic much thanks

I have the exact same chair, Greaves & Thomas. The foam.came off so I had to strip it. Its the fibreglass shell. Still have the original stretch fabric with zip and cord. I'm a tailor by trade but I'm perplexed on how I'd do such a strange shape.

@craighughesupholsteryoffic5077 great video - good to really understand how the supports work in these chairs. If the base support is curved like those used in some danish chair (teak and base is upholstered), do you know what technique is used to re-fabricate it? Or perhaps the curve is created by tightening down the board on angled side supports?

Thanks again for the through explanation on the cooling system.

That's a great idea - is there no end to the potential uses of Bulldog BDX!

I’ve tried a pot scrubber with lubricating stuff. It works ok as well.

Wow, how nifty. I wonder what the American substitute would be that I'd look for?

Thanks for this - just wondering what material you used for the bottom? Also what happens if you need to replace that same chair another time, but you've glued the foam to the wood - do you just have to replace the foam then, or can you rip it off?

Wow 😮 amazing work and a fantastic video !

The last one took my breath away when I first watched the episode . Tony’s reaction was my reaction. The graft you put in on it. And the result. World class. 👌

Love the embroidery such great skill
