I can't believe I watched a 20 minute long video of a man fixing furniture with such interest. You are truly entertaining xD
Priyanka Iyer And I can’t believe I wasn’t the only one!
exactly!!
maybe it's the accent that's so horrible it actually starts to grow on you like a wart that somehow defines you
@@xTerminatorAndy no?
@@ludiProjects Joke bud
Wow I can't believe he didn't make it into an electric chair
Or even worse: attach the power stapler under it to punish whoever is on that seat. Ouch.
Yeah, it's not the Volts, nor the Amps, but the Mehdis that kill you.
+Ξxodus you mean anxious?
This is a good one LOL
i got to say that i cant believe that he didn't staple him self with the staple
1% opening
1% shopping
2% stapling
96% removing staples
DeRg you’re not wrong there
Opening what?
@@soldr3427 you skipped the start?
TOMO no does he mean opening the chair?

You could have burned the rope to prevent it from unwinding. (ding ding...)

There is always a better tool than a flat-head screwdriver, but they are never around when you need them.
Hence the moniker "prydriver"

@Peter B I used to be British, until 1783 that is.
@Peter B lol, although, historians believe that if there was no war the taxes would dramatically lower, slavery would end sooner and with no war and best of all... FREE HEALTH CARE!!!
@Peter B first of all, you're 60?! It honestly fascinates me on how when you dont see each other face to face we usually assume that we are the same age, or atleast I do. Second of all, yea due to all those benefits and more I'm planning on trying to immigrate to Canada for it, which kind of makes me a leech but whatever.
"a little bit of hammering hasn't killed anybody"
Well, that depends on what you're hammering

You my friend possess the godly skill of pulling out entertaining videos out of thin air
Seriously, a 20 min video of a man reupholstering one chair and yet I am *glued* till the end

Eyebrows!
WAIT! THAT WAS 20 MIN?!
When I read this I envisioned the "huhhhhhh!" laugh after the glue joke.
I'm stapled till the end

Hahaha Nice Punch 😂
I see what you did there

Good joke my dude
now we need to get a t-shirt for it
Anytime Mehdi tries something he's never done, he succeeds. It's inspirational. Also, does anyone else think Mehdi would make a fantastic teacher? He just makes learning so fun and interesting
He's already a teacher ;)
@@paulb4334 very true
he literally teaches us with his videos
Real upholster here!
You actually did a good job, well done my friend.
@My Secret Account Here in germany, what he used. About 30-40 usd per chair. no idea who asked 1k+ but thats a lot. we do couches for 250 or 600 if its leather.
@@bravosava Same in Hungary too. :) But the price depends from the fabric type. The 1200 CAD for 4 chairs is bloody expensive. 300 CAD/chair. O.o
I'm really glad to hear that he did a good job bc I worked at a furniture store when I was 15 and had to teach myself how to do this and ended up just basically doing this
Except for that grandma fabric😁
Ξrror Canadian dollars
I love when youtubers just randomly make totally different content
that's hardly totally different lol
How much upholstery has Mehdi uploaded?
It's still something you would expect from him
Renato Quiñe Fernández Based on what?
Yeah it's like he is an actual person...
Mehdi: Gets hurt
Mehditation: "Dammit!"
ElectroBOOM: "S**t! F**k!"
well in the ElectroBoom channel he's usually getting badly burnt or shocked
@@howtosnstuff yeah, vs. minor screwdriver jab, lol
I didn't even realized that this was on mehditation I that I was watching electroBoom(that explains why he didn't make an electric chair)
if this is anything like the brake changing video, those 3 leftover chairs will be sitting there for the next 6 years
Welp looks like it's time to reupholster the next chair!
15:40 "The new staples are on top of the previous ones"
That's why they stapled it diagonally (see 5:43). You can staple over diagonal staples easily without risking to hit the other one all the time, Mehdi!
But its only 6 inches of diagonal staples there... ?
Too late
nice tip thanks
no its not, they are like that because the previous guy was too lazy to straightening his staples all the time. You can see them slowly angle more and more
Who cares to be honest he’s never done it before and I think he did a great job
I ain't a bank machine!

"Destaple-izing" "noodley-poop" "fabrication": You have such a way with words.
Noodley-poop. XDDDD
Fabrication is a real word tho.
@@UdaraDiyalagoda Yeah, but it doesn't mean "to cover something in fabric" the way he is using it. That use is a silly, amusing neologism.
@Blank Gaming ”reupholstlerelsers”
And now you know why they charge that much :)
Cuz people don't reaslise how easy it is!
There's that, but mostly it's because the vast majority of people who are willing to pay a professional in any trade to do a job would still prefer to pay them rather than do the work themselves, even if they knew they could do it themselves fairly easily.
They charge so much because that's how much it costs to maintain a business - the wages alone for this job might be $300, but then there's leases, amortisation, insurances, overheads, idle time costs, taxes, management costs, tax management costs, tax management management costs, tax management cost management cost...
Easy??
I wouldn't pay for reupholstery either.
I think probably I would settle for just sitting in an ugly chair, though.
Maybe I'm just too lazy.
@@martyjehovah Like Mehdi said, it's worth doing a calculation plugging in your own salary. If you're a lawyer making $200 an hour then pay because your time is worth more. If you make like $25 an hour then take one weekend and do it yourself.
A tip: Cutting/ripping the original fabric off before removing the staples can make removing them a lot easier. When you remove the fabric it will leave its thickness as a gap between the wood and the staples making it easier to insert the tool to remove them.
I recommend cutting the fabric with a carpet knife exactly where the staples are before ripping it to make sure that no small piece of fabric will be left stuck on them.
There's something really rewarding about doing work yourself... except when you fail miserably and have to call in the professionals regardless...
Abbreviated Reviews having to explain to the professionals why did you do what you did and sitting there shamefully
The professionals oftentimes up the price by 150-200% when they're fixing something the owner tried to DIY.
Jeff Spaulding that's probably because they have to undo the owner's DIY and then do it properly without destroying things.
That's why you keep your mouth shut.
Abbreviated Reviews yup I agree with you this morning I was trying to upgrade my pcs ram and failed miserably because I have changed many ram sticks but this time I screwed it up by by putting the wrong type lol.
"The pressure of the screwdriver in the palm of my hand is quite hurting"
Anyone who used a screwdriver long enough knows exactly what he means.
12:29 I've never heard somebody so happy about an electric stapler
You can use a lighter and gently burn the end of the thingy and prevent it from unwinding
I thought about it, but then the crazy glue doesn't drastically change the color
Yeah, you have to melt the plastic fabric, but not to the point it becomes black. This is usually used for ropes.
another option is clear nail polish... but it doesn't dry as fast. the burning method works well on synthetic rope. I'm not sure if that "noodly thing" was cotton or synthetic
Another option is to just secure it by going over the edge with a sewing machine once or twice
heykay15, but it is less likely do damage any kind of plastics, glue might do that.
4:47 he's officially lost his mind
Jesse Smith wasn’t expecting that, you made my day!
That's ordinary Mehdi. Welcome.

I think we will never know what da dog doin’.
my dad is an upholster and omg watching him pull out the staples is so satisfying, it usually takes him like 10 minutes to undo the entire dust cover underneath a 3 seater lounge cause its just second nature, its honestly so impressive to watch
That "noodly thing" is called piping. :-)
Not any more 😂
*basestone* yes you're correct
Haha not anymore. Mehdi has redefined the technical nonclemature for that particular item.
*Richard Adrian* genius you're right!!
Who cares? It's noodle thing now
I love your ElectroBOOM videos even though I don’t understand much about electricity. This is a video where I feel I can understand things! I don’t upholster, but I do sew and that “noodly thing” is called piping. The chair upholstery seam is piped. Thanks so much for what you do on UA-cam. I’m truly in awe not just of your electrical knowledge, but your showmanship and comic timing.
I was so much worried about your thumb all the time you were stapling. 😅
I guess it turns out he's actually not a bumbling buffoon? thinking: We've been lied to for years!
Four CHAIR Upholstifier!
The reference. I see it. I SEE IT. When's the shirt coming out?
PS: The chair problem has been rectified. :3
I like how unlike other channels who make things look very easy, our mehdi actually shows how hard a work is and how much effort you need to put in. 👍👍👍❤️
I was an upholsterer and on the whole i think you did okay, nice corners, sometimes you need to pleat them but not here. Also a tip for removing the fabric (or cover) is to get a screwdriver behind the staples and lever upwards pulling on the fabric and the staples at the same time. You then remove the loosened staples with pliers or wire cutters, though there is a knack to using the cutters so as not to cut through the staple, has a sharp tip which is handy for removing any part staple left behind. Though we also used a chisel designed for the job too. Thanks for your videos.
So I upholster for my full time job, and you honestly have really good technique. Wouldnt be the exact sane how I would do it but the end result is just as good, if not better than what I would be able to come up with! So great job, and know, the upholstery gods, are not frowning upon you! 👏👏
You do upholstering as a full time hob but Mehdi's result is better than what you are able to do? That's just sad man.
@@wizewizard1840 have to agree with that lol

Never thought I would have found an amazing upholstery tutorial on an electrical edu-comedy channel! I love it!
The chair looks really good, well done!
I have this on repeat with picture in picture mode for hours while I draw, Mehdi's voice is therapeutic.
A tip for the end of the noodle doodle thingy is to take a lighter to it LIGHTLY (pun intended). This only works if the material is made out of polyester or some other synthetic plastics.
That was my thought too. I'm a drummer and I do this to grosgrain ribbon that's used to hold snare wires to a snare drum so the edges don't fray.
Did same trick when cutting nylon cord.
The problem is that his fabric his white, and he has a good chance of getting a yellowish blob from doing this, so glue is safer
I Just watched a 20 minute video of a man redoing a chair. I was entertained. Your personality is unmatched.
original
Watching him do something other than electrical work is relaxing
It's like a slightly crafty, eccentric Mr. Rogers
I think a great tip is to remove the old fabric and place the new only on the badly damaged pieces, when for all the other parts, you can just reupholster everything with new fabric over the old one, nobody will know the secret until they need to be re-upholstered again, and you'll save a lot of time and swearing for sure! Love your channel!
Thats a Very good suggestion...when the old fabric is not ripped or smells bad leaving it on makes sense...just staple right above the old staples...Thats what I am going to do..Great tip!! Thanks!
ElectroBOOM way to remove staples: Soak in gasoline to loosen them, apply conductive paste to electrically connect them all, then connect to 120VAC.

Don't you accidentally electrocute yourself in like 90% of your videos

Well, how do you think he survives those shocks?
No chair giveaway !?
Ohh man.

why did I just watch someone reupholstering his chairs for 20 mins?
The same reason I did. What reason is that? I have no idea.
I didn't know it was 20 min lol

I see 1200 for 4 chairs a bit high yes, but I guess that service is for those with very expensive chairs (like old vintage grandma chair) because if not, it is way cheaper to buy new ones. I've mehditate a lot with this video! Keep up!
Mher Saribekyan which vídeo?
These Chairs he has would almost qualify to have upholstered like this for that price.
Just check how effin' expensive these "Gus Thompson" Chairs are..like wtf. 250$+ for ONE CHAIR!

Or go into the woods, chop down a tree and make one for free! .. if you are capable of woodworking

Cost of upholstery is usually higher cause its not as busy a business as some other trades, although even at that the price is on the high side, cost of material can be a big factor too but yeah, ur man just probably over quoted him cause doing chairs is a shit job and just over quotes to keep himself in the green
04:10 There's few things more satisfying in this life than employing the right tool for the job.
Honestly, it came out a LOT better than I thought it would at the start of the video! Nicely done!
Turned out better than expected! Just try not to leave the other chairs for the next year, like most of us would.
From time to time I come back and watch this again. I don't know what it is about it, but it's just so relaxing to watch.
There’s something therapeutic about this, and you did a great job too Mehdi!
I just watched a very hairy man upholster a chair with grannypanties looking fabric. and loved it.
Going through your old videos is an exercise in aspiration. As I prepare for fatherhood I can't point to a better example than you.

I think I'm a sucker for fixing and refurbishing videos. I highly enjoyed watching you work and the result turned out really nice. About the crazy glue: if I were you I'd cut the unwinded part and hit it with a little bit of flame from a lighter. That material must be some sort of plastic stuff so it would close and melt a little.
Ps: I'm not a professional either, just a fan :)
How did you manage to do that without getting electrocuted?
Very good question...
Heh
Or stapling the seat to his fibula
Because he is not electroboom now
Seriously, this is hard work. I know a lady that did this for a living for about 20 years. Right before she retired at age 70, she demolished her 16 year old grandson in arm wrestling. It was hilarious teasing him about it for the next several years.
Bravo, you are the first human that I subscribe on 2 different channels !👏👏👏

man I felt that at the end when you do something productive but realized you have to do it more than once for some reason.
I was fully expecting him to staple his fingers many times

Followed by the staple gun giving him an electric shock and the chair catching fire.
This is probably the best project you’ve ever done
Now the video is finished i cant believe it was fun to watch such thing .
Mehdi: refreshing. I like seeing you do this kind of stuff.
By the way, you should have put the seat's underside cover BEFORE the fabric. That way, you hide the ugly black edge quite better.
Lassi Kinnunen ok mommy 👌
But the black edge is neater than the fabric edge
Nice work Mehdi! You made a realy good job (and didn't electrocute your self )
I know this video is pretty old ad you might not see this comment, but as someone who has done many many fabric projects from, making simple pants to complex jackets with no pattern, to bag making and upholstery. I approve of the methods used here if not recommend some modifications to technique. :)
You should be able to fuse the end of the "noodley thingy" with a lighter to keep it from unwinding.
Unwindinding*
Only if its a synthetic fabric tho.
@@SkittlesNinja1000 oh, what a missed opportunity for starting a fire!
Depending on the material of the braid part, you can sometimes use heat to melt and fuse the ends to prevent fraying
watching Mehdi pull staples with the bluntest screwdriver known to man is all kinds of therapeutic
3:00 literally Me at any job...
You motivated me to bring my ass back in movement, thx!
Good work, very good content, I'm proud to be alive and can watch your stuff.

In your engineering videos, it's pretty easy to tell when you "mess up" but in this, I can never tell when you're lost and when you're just messing around.

Can't believe I watched a man fabricating a chair for 20 mins
Ps: Love from India
Now I have to do 3 more.
Deep breaths...
Hahahahaha I feel you man.
Mehdi would make a perfect Brazilian. We have this kind of obligation to fix stuff by ourselves, using creativity and the almighty handwork
Beautiful work. Looks really very professional, and nice fabric choice too.
1200 FOR FOUR SEATS do they also replace it with silver
keep in mind that is 1200 CAD not USD. Still ridiculous but not quite as much as some other products you can buy for a similar price
its still over 900 usd :I
If I was them I'd just buy new ones and pocket the remaining money.
Watching you do mechanical / handycraft stuff like this is f*cking hilarious! I love it.
out of all the things i got interested to, this one was least expected
Did anyone see the burn mark on his arse from that time he sat on that heated seat he madev🤣 7:51
Ya
I once had a $50 office chair break at the metal plate that holds the seat. (Heavy metal plate split in two! Yeah, I know I'm fat, but not THAT fat!) I spent about $600 on welding equipment (Harbor freight flux wire welder), and watched UA-cam videos to learn how to weld and welded the plate back together. Totally worth it! It wasn't the proverbial "stack of dimes" weld, but it was a nice "stack of oddly shaped coins"! And it lasted at least another couple of years.
Take a shot every time he says eh
didn't even notice it myself!
