How the backs and bottoms of furniture are done | Using Fablok
This is how many pieces of furniture including chairs and couches are closed off and all the internals underneath are hidden. The fablok system is great for odd shapes and curves as well. Using a locking system with little teeth, it staples on and grabs the cloth and then being hammered shut it holds the fabric firmly in place. Leaving a minimalistic finish with no exposed fittings or fixtures or staples.
The last few steps in furniture are typically outside arms, then outside back followed by the bottom dust cover then legs or feet. Job done!!

I put up CLEAR PVC blinds in my workshop!!
Переглядів 177Рік тому
Winter is fast approaching, so I really need to get some wind breaks up to keep the cold out and the warmth in but also add much needed natural light. So I had these clear curtains in my old shop that I had made many years ago, but the new workshop has much narrower doors. So I have to trim them down to fit and also fit new timber rails to keep from interfering with the doors and hardware and n...

Here's a super easy tip for countersinking screws through harder woods and even other materials. It's a bit backwards but watch and you shall see. Best for when you don't have either the right tool or own only simple tools for those DIY jobs I did show this tip to a buddy of mine. Needless to say it blew his mind, now hopefully yours..

HOTLAPS in the COROMANDEL (NZ) with CASS

CHJEEP in Coromandel for a thrash weekend with Cass. Farmer next door kindly let us use his field for the day Sketchy driving, sketchy camera work, breaking stuff along the way and shotty editing. Doesn't get much better than this. We tried the pvc drift wheels and ending up shaking a few nuts and bolts loose, and I lost count how many times the chain came off. Quote of the day: "Might be the o...
Recovering a dirt bike seat from start to finish - 2019 KTM 125
Переглядів 4613 роки тому
A more of an in depth video showing what goes into changing a bike seat cover and repairing the foam underneath - this time on a 2019 KTM 125 MX bike. The key is to not add too much tension front to back, which would make the front of the seat pull back too far and out of shape. Apply tension to the area where most shape is and constantly retention front to back as you work along. See channel f...

10 year old behind the wheel - Minitruck
Well that looks fantastic but thats not a job I can do myself lol!!
Sure you can! just practice on the sewing machine with scrap materials first.
Wait wait wait… you made sewing the side panels look WAY too easy. Must watch many more times. My curves look like octagons.
Good work!
wow !!
Incredible craftsmanship! I only have one question. Why would you put glue over a rusty seat pan? Why not clear the rust off first then put that awesome craftsmanship on top of it? If the seat pan rusts out, all that work is for nothing.
Thanks for watching and commenting. There's the bit where I painted on rust converter. Paint straight on cleaned/prepped rusty surfaces and it dries to black
I also did a random search to see what it would take to fix my mower seat. Found this video on second click/clip. PERFECT example for me! Thank You!! You are a true craftsman!
Sometimes i use a philips head and sort of grind it around in a circle to create the hole for the head but i like this. Much more uniform and consistent. Thank u for this!
Some guys have skills!
where do you get the edge piece? and what is it called?
Edge trim, your local upholsterer/motor trimmer should have it or be able to help get it.
What is the pink foam and the grey cover called? Great video
can you do contract work? I have 5 of varying sizes.
can we talk about the huevos it takes to make your own piping at the same time as you stitch it down without pins? LARGE huevos, nicely done!
Pure skill and experience!
Good job
Bro I wish you could list all the materials you're using. us laymen are flying blind
Impressive work.
Nice job
Awesome work
That was very enjoyable. I love watch a craftsman do good work. You doubledthe value of that mower. If it was mine I'd do whatever it took to keep it running. Great job
Good job.... but Dude I want to patch the hole not build a new seat. I bought one for $10 with no rip. Thanks for the video.
I don't care what anyone said! Truly excellent work! Totally jealious of your patience and work!!!
True craftsman. Very impressive Sir.
What was the white stuff he paint on the seat
Rust converter, goes on white/creamy colour then dries to a hard black finish
Well done!
Mishin name Tell me
👍👍👍. Thank you
Well now there's way more to that than I had any idea no wonder it costs so much to have a seat recovered .
There sure is!! and thanks for watching. Many don't realise actually how much goes into upholstery. There are still those that think everything is a 10 minute job, it's just a bit of sewing right?
@@stitchingsteve I believe it's above my ability but you do excellent work it was very interesting.
Clean af
I would love to buy one of your covers the one you're making right now how can you get one
A little bit of audio would have been nice Like what do you call that pink foam, the grey material where do you get those items, what type of staples, etc. etc..
Respect
Wonderful work man. I upholster as well but starting to learn the sewing side I only hope Ill be as good as you one day
Wow cheers! People think it's simple, until they try it. I've spent 20+ years making it look easy, you'll get there too
@@stitchingsteve thank you I subscribed as well
I just don't understand how the side pieces worked out to be even. You measured from a square cushion and then you cut the corners round. Maybe I flunked geometry but I thought that would be a different distance for a round corner. Just Asking!
If I had cut the top vinyl to the correct size it would have changed and become smaller once I added the backing foam. So marked oversize (square), then laminated, then shaped to the cushions radii's and also going off centre measurements to keep symmetrical. Both side boarder and piping are cut oversize and trimmed down accordingly. If the job requires exact side boarders then "finished size" perimeter needs to be plotted and marked accordingly. Hope that makes sense
Great to the point repair video. Especially appreciate that you have replied to inquiries. Cheers mate!
Attempted?...........Mission accomplished, I'd say.
I am from nepal.i am also a seat,sofa repair man.can i join you.
It was already pretty much the cleanset lawnmower seat I have seen on any mower (of age)... but well done none the less!
Yeah oh ok sure now I need to get the materials a contact cement sprayer an air compressor a sowing machine....come on man seriously that what you just did costs more than buying a new seat
Thanks for watching! You could buy a new seat, if you can find one for a 30yr old mower. You could also set yourself up for doing jobs like this... or take it to someone who has all the gear and materials already? Plus this was for my own mower so my time and materials wasn't an issue
no welping?
You mean piping? but no, none of that this time
What's the name of that black foam
Not sure it has a retail name, look for the firmest you can? I've now switched to the pink coloured foam (see later videos) which is much firmer, more dense and more durable
Thank you so much
Wow. That’s a lot of work. Well done!
What was the little fabric at the end of the stitching? Where do you buy that stuff around the edge of the seat?
Hey, thanks for watching!! That little bit of fabric is scrap offcuts that I use to sew on to, to stop and start each sew line. It saves holding the thread or wasting more than you need to. Lots of comments about this... Might have to make it's own video 🤔. The stuff around the edge is either called Edge trim, door trim or push on windlace. Try your local Upholster/Motor Trimmer
Very nice.
Very beautifully upholstered. Keep up the good work.
Great video. What did you paint on the metal? That did a great job on the rust.
Is a crc branded rust converter
Wow
Well, at least there was no irritating music.
thanx! that's exactly what I want to do in my Caprice 78. Its nice and simple.
Less is best, cheers for watching!!
Very impressive work you do.
