While I was looking for videos on a different subject, I accidently came across one of the videos of this channel. I have nothing to do with upholstery, but I enjoyed watching this gentleman showing great craftsmanship, baselines of the quality work, with clear guidelines and details. It is not anymore easy to find great craftsmen. Now I can't help watching all these videos.
Thanks for the informative video! I'm working on my first DIY refinishing and refurbishing of an antique rocker from the late 1800's, early 1900's that was given to me. Your video was well defined and makes me feel somewhat more confident that I CAN DO THIS! Thanks again!
Excellent video Buck. Voice, framing, lighting and sequences are great not to mention your upholstery talent and knack for teaching. Looking forward to more! Bill C
Love watching you work. Its magic! You have helped me figure out so much. Now I'm going to try an Armchair ( lovely old one found on the street, with horse hair found inside! ) needs a little fixing but frame is sturdy. Wish me luck : ) Thanks again, all the way from Sydney Australia
Old school craftsmanship . We learnedto hammer the bottom webbing flatter when stapling or tack nailing it . The frame repair and finishing was beyond what we learned .
@@Buckminsterupholstery I am starting to attempt to refurbish what may be a late 18th or early 19th century matching chair, rocker and settee. So far I've not seen quite the same style on line. In starting on the chair it seems sort of basic so far. Is there an email address that I may could use to be able to ask you some questions and possibly send you a/some pics along the way. I've really enjoyed watching your videos and feel that if learned a lot even though there are tons more that I need to learn. Thank you again. I'm Jim Jordan at talk2jj1953@yahoo.com

Love your videos! I am working on my first armchair and am wondering what is the thickness and type of string you use to attach the springs to the webbing and do you use the Italian Ruby Twine or some other twine to tie them together at the top? Thank you :)
I use nylon button string for sewing springs to webbing as it has far more strength than Ruby Italian stitching string. Yes, Ruby Italian spring twine on the top coils.
Brilliant instruction. However, I have a chair that was gutted when I bought it. It is what I would call a parlor chair. The gutted frame is 2”. What size springs should I use?
I came across you 4 tutorials have you posted anything else on this. Realy enjoyed this but bumed out that I didnt get to see the finished chair. Excellent work thanks for charing.
Israel Fernandez Chair isn't finished yet. It belongs to me and I've worked on some other video instead. I'll get back to this project and wrap it up. Stay tuned. Thanks.
Why do you do your 8 ways before your side to sides... Just curious. And I always put the break of the spring to the back. At 12 o'clock. You do good work man.
just subscribed to your page, great information! I have only seen a couple of your videos and am wondering if there is one or if you could make one sharing how to create a soft edge when dealing with coil springs. Thanks!
I hope to get back to filming on this Victorian chair project in coming months. My Turkish chair seat video might be of help to you. ? It has an edge wire on the front but stuffed and stitched in sides (if that's the technique you're looking for).
Klinch-it tools are dangerous, good only for bloodletting. In time as the webbing sags, the points tend to protrude. I give a resounding NO! Staples are the better way to go as they don't cause damage to the frame and that is your worthy shortcut.
Great tutorial! I’m currently reupholstering a family heirloom chair that is 1920’s art nouveau barrel style. Any tips on finding replacement coil springs? I have 6 that support the front of the chair and cushion but when sat in they completely sink all the way down to the wood framing. Can’t seem to find replacements anywhere online that are new. Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks
Chits- N-Giggles The wire is the outer profile line of the seat. The burlap foundation and secondary muslin cover for the arms and back support will be hand-stitched to the wire. The seat padding materials will be stuffed to this level.
My suppliers require a business sales tax exempt status. DIY Upholstery Supply should be able to help but I don't think they have knotted tops on the coils.
It's brilliant watching you work. Your instruction is clear and concise. Thank you very much sharing your work and knowledge.
all of your videos are very informative and helpful! Nice way of explaining things clearly and good videos of your work!

Thank you most sincerely for your kind words. My pleasure to teach and entertain.
Love this! Thank you, I'm going to attempt to restore my chairs seat/ springs as well.
Best of luck, "Buck".

très astucieux la cale en bois pour placer les sangles droites dans la forme arrondie du pourtour de l'assise. je vais noter cela. magnifique.
attention to detail and great camera work. thank you !
Great instruction! Thanks!
I love your work! Beautiful! Thank you for sharing! Now I'm gonna go try to fix the trash to treasure chair I'm working on!
What beautiful work you do!!! I enjoy watching your videos very much. It is very fine work. Thank you for your beauty.😁🤗
Excellent video man , clear concise and like the way you use all traditional hand tools - one to save .
Thank you so much again.
Your classes are really good.
Thank you so much for opening up you shop to me. cool cool cool!!!
Old school craftsmanship . We learnedto hammer the bottom webbing flatter when stapling or tack nailing it . The frame repair and finishing was beyond what we learned .
Flattening the webbing is a very good suggestion I will remember. Thanks.

I get problems when securing twine with tacks, the twine eventually slips or some fibers of the twine get cut. You work is so clean👍
Uma verdadeira aula grátis.
Vou assistir o máximo de vezes, pois vale muito à pena.
Muito obrigado.

Two of my videos detail how to choose proper springs. I've forgotten what I used in this chair. 8"? They were plenty firm.
I came across you 4 tutorials have you posted anything else on this. Realy enjoyed this but bumed out that I didnt get to see the finished chair. Excellent work thanks for charing.

Gostaria de saber se terá uma continuação dessa série.

Well presented! Will there be further parts?
Two questions. What do you think of the klinch it tool shortcut for fastening springs? And, do you think nails are better than stapler gun?
Klinch-it tools are dangerous, good only for bloodletting. In time as the webbing sags, the points tend to protrude. I give a resounding NO!
Staples are the better way to go as they don't cause damage to the frame and that is your worthy shortcut.

how much do the springs need to be pushed down from their original height ?
Depending on how firm the springs are they generally pull down around 1/3 their height. For instance a 6" spring pulls down to 4" height.
Isn't there a part five? Was hoping to see how you reupholstered it?
Urantia Wins Because of the Turkish rocker series in progress I haven't been able to finish this Victorian chair. It will be coming at a later date.

I am from Iraq( Spring) how can I buy it from Amazon Give me the purchase link
I'm lost. what was the purpose of the wire you manufactured and installed with the leather strips?
Chits- N-Giggles The wire is the outer profile line of the seat. The burlap foundation and secondary muslin cover for the arms and back support will be hand-stitched to the wire. The seat padding materials will be stuffed to this level.
Do you find an apprentice to teach all this neat stuff?
You
@@Buckminsterupholstery I'm disabled so can't do that stuff - wish I could. Your work is awesome.
Where do you get the springs?
