This video features advanced installation techniques that includes hand sewn seam and the use of dry lines & ice picks for pattern alignment & blocking.
I bought my lazer a year ago. I didn't buy it for patterned carpeting, but wow, thats an eye opener. Lazers are fantastic tools. Once you buy one, you'll find many uses for it. Beautiful work David and Charlene 👍
Thank you. I hope there was some information shared that will be of use as, with the exception of replacing a string line with a laser, everything else is old school woven techniques.
Great job to video man, I wish more people would select stuff like this in my area, job is like a unicorn around here, p.s. I hate layouts like that in homes, hallway should be hard surface and bedrooms should have been the wilton, doesn't make any logical sense everytime I run into that
Fitting looks great. I just think pattern is off, if when looking down the stairs, you shifted it over to the right by almost half a stripe the whole long run would have avoided the pinstripe to be so close to the skirting. The stair pattern doesn’t “look” centred to me. Anyway, I know how difficult all this work is, been fitting for 19 years I admire the craftsmanship, different techniques to the UK but it’s always helpful to learn more
Can this be done on a Britons woven carpet. Have got a stairs and landing I did previously but has a fault with the carpet due to manufacturing pile shading so has got to be re done. But i have always known these carpets don’t stretch well on the sides but was never taught to put boiling water on to get drum tight. Thanks
One last comment on the blocking. Is boiling water as opposed to hot water, absolutely required, or does it just speed up the shrinking and drying process?
One of the last true craftsmen of the carpet trade. Nice video, thanks.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

Agree. Lasers are one of those tools that once you get used to using it’s hard to live without. Thank you for the kind words.
Lovely job, fairplay
I really enjoy the longer video
Thank you. This is all new to me and I really appreciate the feedback. It helps immensely.

Thank you. It is appreciated.
That was awesome! I would love to see a more in depth seam video
You got it!
This was SUPER interesting, this is a side of carpet I’ve never heard of or seen before
