  • A step by step procedure for making an attractive functional fireplace bellows. Included are upholstering tips. Total cost: $8.50
    I don't know why I left a step out for making the hinge. What I did was take a single large rectangle of faux leather (think of a large band-aid). I layed it over the open hinge area (think of a large cut). I then turned the edges under as I tacked down the rectangle. On the back side, they should almost touch. Make sure the added piece makes an airtight patch. This will be your hinge.

    Very straight forward, thank you! I plan to triple the size and make a home forge (old school style)

    Well done sir, but why not just draw the shape on the paper instead of the board in the first place? Then you don’t have to trace it?

    • @gfotinakes316
      @gfotinakes316  3 года назад

      I needed to draw it out roughly, then fold it in the center, finally cutting the outside shape to keep symmetry, like paper snowflakes. There is probably a better way but this simple method always worked for me. By the way, in what state are you viewing my video? I would like to add a pin to my map for all my video replies. Thank you!

    I wish you would have spoken instead of typing. We aren't sure what you did with the faux leather down at the narrow end (on both sides) where it goes over the discharge spout. You just showed that it was done.

      Is the round or tear drop shape the better I should use.?

      I am retired after 40 years of teaching. Due to Covid I could not continue to volunteer in classrooms. For me the next best thing was teaching folks how to do things on RUclips and sharpening my video editing skills. For the last two years of Covid these two hobbies have been wonderful distractions for me. I especially enjoy reading comments of appreciation from people all over the country and even the world. I don't consider my efforts wasted.
