This video shows a way to replicate OEM 'high&low reliefs' on a MBenz door panel which originally were made by using a mold, heat and a hidraulic press. As I mentioned in the video the idea is to let the leather material fold down into the 'low-relief channel' in a gentle way. If this leather material is too much forced to get folded into the channel have the risk of unsticking or bubbles.
Needless to say 'this procedure is only an idea not a general rule'...you could find another ways to approach this upholstery project.
I hope you find it useful!

A true craftsman who came up through the ranks.
Your hands show that all by themselves.
Well done sir.
Fantastic craftsmanship, and superb videography! I'm a CNC guy, but I love to see tactile hand work so well executed.
Your attention to detail is amazing. Congratulations! I want to upholster my car headliner and pillars with alcantara and these videos helped me understand that there's need for patience and it's better to work in small batches rather than try to do a whole piece at once. Thank you!
Lindo video. Soy tapicero también y ver estos tipos de ideas es fantástico. Saludos desde Paraguay
A master at his profession. The quality of your work amazes me every time I watch one of your video's. Your attention to detail is what makes your work so great.
+Terry Green Thanks for kind remarks! ...I still need more training for these techniques...to practice a lot is the best master.
شي رائع
Amazing precision! Since subscribing to your videos a few days ago, You have taught me a lot about patience. Beautiful craftsmanship!
you did a very nice thing , which almost all ignore or do not do is,,,, that you have shown what are you up to, what finally you are going to do so that we do not have to see blindly what is happening and what is going to be the end result. That's really a very welcome thing.. And Nice workmanship and very skilled job.. AND.. THANKS FOR NO MUSIC
Muchísimas gracias,Maestro! Soy estudiante de Tapicería en un Centro de Oficios, y sus videos son en sí mismos una asignatura aparte que disfruto en mi casa. Bendiciones!
This was very helpful as I learn. Love your technique with the pinched edges and the flat cut.
Thanks so much for appreciating this craaft!
This is very amazing coach work! I'd pay top money to have my panels done like this and you would deserve every penny of it!
Thanks so much for your compliments!
Mis respetos amigo Cechaflo, de verdad que eres un maestro de maestros, un perfeccionista. Ojalá, las personas que se dedican a restaurar este tipo de interiores, pudieran ver , cómo se hacen las cosas de una manera profesional. Felicidades !!
Le agradezco por apreciar mi trabajo!
Thank you for sharing your skills with us. I enjoy watching the work you do very clean and educating.
Thanks for appreciating these videos!
No me canso de ver la maestría con la que usted trabaja la piel... tanta precisión y perfección no es habitual y todos le agradecemos el tiempo que dedica para hacer estos vídeos, de los cuales resulta siempre una obra de arte.
Muchas felicidades también para su hijo por las magníficas tomas que hace con la cámara de vídeo. Es muy difícil obtener tomas perfectas cuando otra persona está trabajando y él siempre lo consigue. Gracias a su profesionalidad con la cámara estos tutoriales son inmensamente útiles ;-)
De verdad, le agradecemos por este amable comentario!
to assist to this work and all the tips and tricks in these videos, would cost me good amount of money and time !! priceless, helpful, and generous videos. thanks sir
+Almehdi Maceraty You guessed right...much of this knowledge is priceless despite of being mute videos. Hopefully, in a month at most we will have ready for sale the first course of a series related to how to leather-wrap steering-wheels...English spoken, HD videos, no texts on screen...it will be displayed on a new website.
yes, i can now open a shop in my country to earn much money after training a couple of months on your videos ! of course am not going to do that because it will need a big change in my life/plans, but it can be useful to make my own car looks sophisticated, or even omeone's close to me.
mute videos are most demanded for me, i always try to skip several minuts in very long videos where the maker is explaining as much as the viewer would look stupid.. timelaps/muted videos are the best if you ask me.. but i do support you if planning any new ideas and technics, and projects too, good luck :)
Hola Cesar, soy un aficionado de los autos y sigo sus vídeos muy interesantes. Gracias por la paciencia y las ganas de compartir. Se le aprecia.

Cesar......I pull my hat and bow....wow !!!!! Very nice super clean work, super precise stitching....you are a man of detail and precision. Great work, not sure about the color choice, but that is of course customer related. I have tried my hand on some foam stitching and very, very simple upholstery....unfortunately I sold my ADLER 267, so all I got now is my ADLER 105-64 for my Holster and Belt work I do......Love your work and your eye for detail, wow !! Thanks for this video!!!

hola cesar..soy muy curioso y manual se manejar la maquina de coser y coser a mano, en mi colegio hace ya mucho tiempo lo aprendi y me gusta hacer cosas diferentes..... la pregunta es ..... como se puede sacar un molde para un tablero completo de una camionetica vieja que tengo... es de muchos cortes rectos....puede ser unos tips... gracias.....esas perillas par la palanca de cambios esta espectacular...me he visto los dos de la perilla y el de la palanca de freno jejejej llevo mis o
horitas viendo tu trabajo
Creo que para sacar ese molde vas a tener que usar 'vinil estirable' para poder dar forma a las partes redondeadas(puntos de pegamento amarillo hacen que el molde permanezca en su lugar)...en las partes planas no será necesario estirar...poner marquitas que sirven para igualar las piezas a la hora de coser...puedes hilvanar con grapas delgadas o costuras a mano en esos puntos.
En este video apliqué el método en unas coderas: min 2:03 a 3:06

You do such amazing job, you are very professional, well explained, I've been learning a lot from your channel. Question? for this kind of upholstery do you use any glue? if yes what kind?
Uma dica amigo nas laterais onde você amassou e cortou faz so um corte tipo V e cole fica um acabamento perfeito também .Parabéns pelo seu trabalho .

Sir, Thank you for your response.
Not all yellow glues are the same. Many are substandard and the bond on the leather and or Naugahide will tend to sepperate in time.and heat. So, I guess, my comment was which do you find BEST. Manufactured by____? and a name for it.
Thank you. Joe in Mo again.

Hi Lynn, I am using an old industrial Pfaff 1245-706/47 heavy duty, walking foot (triple transport)ua-cam.com/video/U3HBXBDDKoo/v-deo.html

Amazing work, my friend! Did you modify presser feet to make the ones you are using in the video?
Yes, it is an extra feet I bought for the desired purpose and I did the adjustments.
Gracias eres un maestro
¡Muchas gracias por apreciar este oficio!
bu adam harika iş yapıyor ya
exelente trabajo
Great job. Could you please tell us what material you used to make the small door panel.
I used a 'hard cardboard' as a base and a softer/ thinner one on top to form the reliefs...besides, I added some 'eva foam' to give the 'softy touch'.
BTW, these products are shoemaker's supplies.
Thanks for watching the videos!
Good job,whats the name of that glue you are using
It's a solvent based yellow glue....to have an idea, check:www.homedepot.com/p/DAP-Weldwood-32-fl-oz-Original-Contact-Cement-00272/100125525

Do a test beforehand.
Hi great work! can you post list of materials used for this project? (or a link to the list)
thanks for sharing the video.
For the real big MBenz panel I only used automotive leather(basket weaved design in grey and embossed grain black) 'yellow glue', and thick polyester threads as decorative. I just used the same pad the panel has...I only cut the pad to the botton on the 'low relief strip' where the joint was glued down.
It is advisable to glue up the whole area of the panel to leather material.
For the small samples, they were made from scratch. I used a hard cardboard as a base, then for the high and low reliefs some thinner and softer cardboard(insole cardboard shoemakers use) and an addition of 'eva material' as a pad to add more softness to the touch; and of course leather material and yellow glue.
Thanks for the information. I always enjoy watching your videos. John G
Perfect!
+Οασις Σίφνος Thanks for appreciating this craft!
Would like to know what type of YELLOW glue you recommend. Which brand is best and where do you get it?
I must commend you on your videos!!!! I taught for 28 years. Students HAD to speak American English (or close). But YOU sir speak 54 different kinds of languages. Perfectly understood in ALL 54 countries!! Even your dog in the background can be perfectly understood by all. Until you finally fed him or her. Gotta love this. You do an international education good job!!!!!
First of all, I want to thank you very much for your compliments...I do not deserve so much yet...there is still a long path to walk. I just try to do my best and inspire some other people to perform this beautiful craft... Hopefully, I would like to have the full of knowledge trajectory acquired through the years you already have.
Regarding your question, different trade marks, here in Mexico 2000, 5000, 3080 and weldwood from Home Depot also used to stick formica.

Magnificent as always! what number is this line Is it needle 29:50? Congratulations to the measurements, precision is too much God enlightens it more and more!
Dear Roberto, the sewing machine needle is 200(metric or european measure) = 25 (singer or american measure) size.

Hello, I enjoy your videos and have a question about applying vinyl to abs panels. I restored a 1955 f100 truck with modern 1996 police interceptor drive train. I purchased a nice interior abs molded kit for headliner , rear panels and door panels. I installed the vinyl to match the leather on the seats I plan to recover. but the glue turned loose and came off the abs. I used high quality 3m spray adhesive. I have done upholstery work for years but never on abs. what do you suggest I need to prep the abs with? Thanks so much! and thanks for all the videos. David
Hello David, I've realized most of 'glue sprayers' are not strong enough. It's different the spraying of 'yellow glue' applied by a 'spraying gun' and air compressor or by hand with a brush.
TBH I do not have experience on abs plastics. But I could give an idea to improve the adherence of glue product. I have used a trick on another projects.
It consists in applying a coat of glue as a 'primer' and let it dry hard for one day...then, I could proceed to stick the vinyl the readitional way we know.
I think the main idea to solve this issue is 'prepare' the surface of that 'slippery/oily plastic'. There are products used as 'primers' to paint cars/plastics which could help to 'prepare' the surface and get a better adherence.
It would be advisable to practice on small areas to be sure.
I've heard about 'yellow glues' in USA some upholsterers use:

Hope it helps,

Thanks. I spray cars and have a plastic adhesive promoter but I was concerned about the adhesive for the vinyl holding to it. I also found spray paint made to adhere to plastics and thought that may be a good base. Believe it or not it is a latex paint for vinyl siding. It's a little rough as it's satin. And it sticks to the spray shield and siding so well I had to sand it off. Thanks for the advise. I'm a JW and do volunteer work after retirement so I don't want to spend a lot of money on a sewing machine. Walking foot machines are hard to find used in a price range I can afford. Thanks
David Krebs hello i know ita late but from experience, the surface needs to be prepped a much as much as possible in order to adhere to abs. I mean like not "light" sanding but heavy scoring and scratches is the only way. At least that's what we used to do and it helped. Keep up your service brother!
What size thread are you using here? My Consew 227 can only use up to #207. But what you are using looks so much thicker.
I have used a light purple size 207 polyester thread and thicker size 277 for the dark purple thread.
To join the grey embossed leather piece in the center to black surrounding leather piece I used a thin polyester thread size 92 black color.
Love your videos! Great work! I am wondering what type of material you are using to make the door card and maybe also where to get it? :)
Me too
muy amable sr...gracias
respect perfetto lavoro

What glue do you use?
When you glue foam down, can you pull it up again and redo it with the glue you use?

The 'eva foam' I use is for one go...once it's glued down, it is very difficult to pull up.
excelente trabajo,,, pregunta como se llama el material obscuro del que esta hecho la base de la tapa (es madera o cartón comprimido???)
y el material blanco que tiene los cortes para la figura?? como se llama? ese se corta la figura y se pega a la madera (o cartón)? saludos.
+ema carmona Es un tipo de cartón comprimido muy resistente a la humedad usado en zapatería...el material blanco es un tipo de espuma que se llama 'eva' y se usa para plantilla de zapato www.ecvv.com/product/4624028.html

+Cechaflo y al material blanco se le hace la figura deseada y se pega al cartón verdad????
+Cechaflo y gracias a ti por compartir tus métodos de trabajo que por supuesto son útiles y muy buenos.
+ema carmona Así es exactamente...el material blanco se traza y se corta con un 'cutter', luego se pega con el pegamento amarillo.
+ema carmona es importante recurrir a materiales que sean fáciles de encontrar a la mano y que nos puedan servir en algún proyecto.

What is the leather oz that you are using for the leather to wrap.
+RPS Tactical +RPS Tactical These leathers are 'automotive' and not so expensive here in Mexico...suppliers do not sell it by ounces...they sell measuring it in square decimeters...a dm2 of cow leather fluctuates from 2.50 pesos to 3.00 pesos...a full hide of 500 dm2 would have a price of 1,250 to 1,500 pesos...converting to US Dollars 66.10 to 79.32
what type of gum do you use to place leather material to car dashboard? ?
It's the 'yellow glue' most of the upholsterers and shoemakers use. Check these links:angelusdirect.com/products/all-purpose-shoe-cement
