    Most people never would have considered that furniture due to the condition it was in. Once again you worked your magic. Nice work Terry.

    Here’s your text with some corrections for spelling and grammar:
    Hi guys! Just a few tips:
    - The treatment of furniture for woodworm is not needed, since the woodworm larvae will dry out and die in a normal temperature living room.
    - When doing upholstery, you hit the webbing with the side of the hammer while stretching it out with the stretcher. This way, the fibers give a bit, and the webbing will stay tight for longer.
    - Fold the webbing in on itself so it's actually in three layers when you nail it. This way, you lock the ends of the webbing and divide the pressure from the nails over a bigger area. I was taught to staple the webbing when it's tight, fold it in on itself, and then nail it with 3-5 nails, depending on the size of the webbing.
    - The last thing is that, you are placing the webbing way too close and using about double the amount of webbing needed for each chair. Place the webbing so you have two interceting at each point there is a spring.
    Kind regards from a Danish furniture conservator ;)

    @hmeyers5114 11 дней назад +27

    Terry makes it look so easy! For anyone who hasn't attempted this type of furniture restoration, it is *hard.* It takes strong fingers and wrists just to remove all the tacks and nails, not to mention stretching the hessian/burlap straps. It helps if you can save the original fabric as a pattern to cut the new or it can get really fiddly really quickly. Terry made it look like it was all done in a day! If so, and I know he is experienced, he is even more of a wizard than we give him credit for. Lovely job!🪑❤

  • @cherylmcnair5594
    @cherylmcnair5594 11 дней назад +13

  • @billfillmore4988
    @billfillmore4988 11 дней назад +3

    I took upholstery from a master upholsterer. He told us to fill all the tack holes with Weldbond glue which is a white glue. That way, the new tacks have something to stick into. These old furniture pieces left unglued don't have enough "meat" for new tacks to hold. Just a suggestion.

    Did the same with my grandmother’s 100+-year-old wicker chair. I had it as a porch chair and the squirrels LOVED the old stuffing! They’d get up under it and take away bits of it and chew on the wood frame.
    So, during Covid I ordered new webbing, foam, batting and had some sunbrella fabric I had bought for the seat.
    I glued and nailed some of the pieces back together, rebuilt the webbing and retied the springs; then added the foam, the batting and then the seat cover.
    It looks great and the squirrels leave it alone now!
    It must have had about ten different coverings layer one on top of the other!
    It took longer to disassemble it than to rebuild it!
    I don’t have an electric stapler so my hand was tired after all the hand stapling the muslin and sunbrella fabric. I bring the removable seat inside in the wintertime to save it from rusting and wear and tear.
    The set had a setee, which I don’t know what happened to that and my brother took the rocker that went with the set. I’m thinking of painting it this coming summer to freshen it up a bit.

    Do you have a few unfinished, empty rooms?? You could set up shops for the stuff in the barn. A fabric shop with cutting and sewing table and all fabrics laid out. And a chandelier shop, with all the bits laid out. A Nick knack shop too. This way, you won't miss any hurried bits and have a dedicated workspace for each category.
