HOW TO BUILD A DINING CHAIR SEAT PLATFORM FROM SCRATCH | UPHOLSTERY FOR BEGINNERS FaceliftInteriors
I have seen some chairs also done with springs . When does one use springs and when would one not as you did? Lovely job by the way and very helpful. Thanks .
Lovely videos, I was wondering if you could make one on how to do like a "floating" back suport with fabric around it? I cant figure out how they make the seams so "invisible" 😅. For an example you can take a look at the 60ths scissor chair from the designer Louis van Teeffelen.
Just had a look, they look like the fabric on the back is stappled off round the back then a separate bit of fabric is gripped around the back. Hope this helps! 😊🙏🧵✂️⛏️

Great video, as always! I was wondering, do you ever use edge roll on a seat like this? Or in what type of seat would you put edge roll? Thanks!
Thanks, I would use edge roll on a seat that needs a flatter look. This was super domed so didn't need edge roll. 👍😊✂️⛏️📐📎
@@faceliftinteriors Thanks, Neil!

Hi Ricky - it was building the platform that was requested and I didn’t want to make the video more long-winded than it needed to be so didn’t include the fabric too 😊🙏🏻

Hi, What gauge staples do you use? 20 or 22? Most people us 22 Guage 3/8 of an inch. The device you suggested for the US is a 20 gauge 1/2 inch bridge. Not sure why one would choose besides what is available locally. I believe i can buy any of them around here. Just outside New York.
Thanks,
Steven
Hi Steven, many thanks for your comment. I use a BEA 71 series staple gun. With 71 Gauge staples I'm sizes from 4mm -14mm. So the most popular would be 71/10
Hope this helps 🙏✂️🧵⛏️📎

Brilliant videos. I’m covering dining chairs in a subtle patterned fabric. Should fronts & backs and all chairs pattern match?
Thankyou.
Yes if possible try and keep the pattern matched as much as possible. You can even turn the fabric upside down on the back if needed. Hope this helps 🙏 ☺️ 📎📐⛏️🧵✂️

What is hessian?
idk but my guess is any medium weight poly, cotton canvas or linen would work, they're probably using this stuff cause it's cheap
ok I looked it up and it seems to just be another word for burlap.

Where to buy the blue foam and what should I ask for?
If you are in the UK I would use GB Foam as you can order from the website. I use 39H which is a firm blue. 👍🙏🧵✂️⛏️📐
