Thank you Kim, I do not know if you realize that you are unique in this field be ause you have many gifts. You know how to educate, you are patient, caring, detailed oriented, and expert in many fields of upholstery. You need to make a series of books of your own. And many modules of instruction because there is only you in this field. And you are excellent. Take it from me. I am an educator who has been looking for training in this field for many years. I have not been able to find anyone at all.
I have been designing and making furniture for more than 60 years and MAN you really demonstrate why I love it so much. To sit and watch a real Craftsman at work is absolutely as good as real life gets. Thank you so much
Your upholstery is tops ,the old way is the best, I was taught by the old school ways , we are be coming far and few , it takes a life of practice. There is one thing I will say, it hard working and sometimes it will test your nerves. I have been around this since I was a child . Been upholstering 40 years. Your work will speak for itself. Good video.
The best clips I've seen on the Internet! Thank you so much for your willingness to share your knowledge -- and I can actually SEE what you're doing (clear and good lighting)!! Great for those of us who've always wanted to learn something about this art, but had no idea where to get good information.
It's great to have something to watch. Even more coming from a super professional in the subject. Thank you, Master Buckminster, for giving us insights into this fantastic world of tapestry.
@@Buckminsterupholstery Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me and letting me know what twine you use, I've made my first edge roll and stitched it watching your video I hope I become as good as you! Thank you again.
Buckminster Guten Abend. Brauchen Sie einen Lehrling? Es war so schön, Ihnen bei dieser tollen Kunst zuzusehen. Danke für den Einblick. Grüße aus Bayern
I don't understand your first question. The same stitching process regardless of the type of filling you use firms up the edge roll and makes it more stable.
I have a 1940s shell back lounge suite. I'm studying how you've done both this camel back and the 1930s club chair. Is there a way of knowing whether to do the deck or the arms first? I've tried to work out how this particular one was done originally but it looks like the original fabric was removed and another layer of fibre then wool was added without taking out the original, then the new fabric, then more wool and the current fabric put over the top at a later date again. The original hessian/burlap has given way in time and the padding has mixed so much that I can't tell arm from base. The base is a sprung seat with no cushion. Thanks for the videos, you truly are a master craftsman and I wish I had discovered this craft earlier
I really love your videos! My favorite work is on the old pieces. Is there a source for horse hair? Or did you reconstitute the hair for your new edge roll? I did an historic restoration of an antique US Senator's Cabinet chair for our local museum here in NM, and had to hand-shred the hair to reconstitute it for the bottom layer of a double-padded seat. It took hours. It was badly lumped and separated.The top layer was intact enough to reuse like you are doing. I used tacks rather than staples. Maybe that wasn't important, but it seemed more appropriate. I'm good at tacks because that's what we had to use where I went for classes. I also did a hand-stitched edge in the burlap over the hair. Had to consult my British books for that! Lol. I have a lovely carbon-steel double ended needle that had belonged to my grandmother, and it was perfect for that.
I used new hair in making the edge roll and smoothing the original layers. There are many suppliers that sell various mixes of pig and horse hair but I don't like the coarser pig hair. The only place I've found that sells 100% horse hair is Albany Foam and Supply, Albany New York. The downside is a 15 pound minimum which goes a long way.
I really appreciate you answering so quick. I had searched for horse hair but couldn't find it. Though I love New Mexico it isn't the most cosmopolitan place.
Hi there again... could you please tell me what the name of the sheet metal tool is, that you are using to cut notches in your cardboard strip? Thanks!
look for a 30 Degree V-Notch or notcher ( some are 31 degrees) for sheet metal. Many brands to choose from,(Wiss, Midwest, Klein, etc.) prices right now are averaging between $26-$55.
I hope you are charging for all that extra time and work. You are redoing everything from scratch. Nice but most guys I know who do what you do make nothing. Nice work but bad income. Hope you are charging big bucks.

I am in love with the fine and elegant way you work. Magnificent!
Brilliant video demonstration. We (TRADITIONAL UPHOLSTERERS) are a dying breed and furniture is not the same as it was. Great watch.

Вот какая должна быть реставрация! Материалы натуральные, природные. Никакого паролона, синтепона и синтетики. Очень рада, что посмотрела. Спасибо!
I love watching the beauty and craftsmanship that goes into your restorations. Love your videos.
It's great to have something to watch. Even more coming from a super professional in the subject.

Buckminster Guten Abend. Brauchen Sie einen Lehrling? Es war so schön, Ihnen bei dieser tollen Kunst zuzusehen. Danke für den Einblick. Grüße aus Bayern
In watching my videos, you are my apprentice. Thank you for tuning in. My best wishes sent to you from the middle of America.
Well done, maestro!
Beautiful!!! Thank you!
Your cardboard strip is much better than than the quality that I have found. Does your strip have a brand name?
a good works i love this thanks 4 sharing video
Beautiful
Is the burlap a neceasity because of the horse hair? Is the same hand sewing process required for non organic filling?
I don't understand your first question. The same stitching process regardless of the type of filling you use firms up the edge roll and makes it more stable.

Hi there again... could you please tell me what the name of the sheet metal tool is, that you are using to cut notches in your cardboard strip? Thanks!
Notcher, I guess... I forget where but I recently saw a similar tool for notching in an upholstery supply catalog.
look for a 30 Degree V-Notch or notcher ( some are 31 degrees) for sheet metal. Many brands to choose from,(Wiss, Midwest, Klein, etc.) prices right now are averaging between $26-$55.
