This is highly valued artisan profession.
@@paw45 Hello Paw, Thank you so much for saying so. Please keep liking and watching!
This man just showed us all his tricks. I'm declaring him as the goat! I don't even know why I'm watching this I'm a bricklayer 😂
Hello Bricklayer Joe, Thank you so much! Please keep watching!
Cause your seat is ripped ..😂
Im guessing ..
This is a lost art. So much respect for people like you who pass on the knowledge to the younger generation.
Hello Believe it, I try, I try.. Please keep watching!
There's an old leather guy here that my sister has taken things to for repair. She said he bitches about the crappy leather we have today .
@@CraigGrant-sh3in Hello Craig, He could be talking about the Brazilian leather that comes from Oxen, not cows as we have in the USA. Please keep watching!
❤😮😅😊
I wonder how much you get for your repair job
I can safely say and speak for everyone that we all need someone like him in every shop we take our vehicle in for work.
Hello Alpha, Thank you so much for the kind words!
I love seeing people who actually care about their work/customers. Unfortunately that’s becoming a rare thing these days.
Hello Danny, Thank you so much for saying so. 44 years of practice will do that to a person. I really understand what your saying. I will only say that much without getting myself into trouble. Hehe Please keep liking and watching!
This is amazing. Part Engineer, part mechanic, total artist. Never realized how much there was to replacing a seat cover! Great job!
Hi! Thank you for the kind words! Oh, you forgot one... Designer. Thanks for watching!
Yes, it's an art form but he makes it look easy. Probably took twenty years to get so good at it.
@@gord2358 Hi! Yes, practice makes perfect. After 43 years I can work on cruise control and don't think much about it as I am working. Thanks for watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholstery you didn't show us you putting the cover on the seat 👎🏾👎🏾🤮🤮
Replacing the entire seat cover (new part) is a lot easier than fixing part of it, but you might not be able to find a replacement for your vehicle and if you do it will be more expensive.
A man who takes pride in his work.
Wow! Thank you for the wonderful compliment! I really do appreciate it. Please keep watching!
Any customer that doesn't want your treatment IS NUTS!!! That is a great job sir ..)
Hello Green, Oh, I like that! Please keep liking and watching!
Richard is an upholstery wizard! What an artist..hope he is passing this talent on to someone else.
Hello Skip, Thank you so much for the wonderful kind words! I tried, I tried, but no takers at the time. Several years ago I told my step son that I would give him everything. Now he is a mid 30's nanny looking after someone's three kids. Go figure... Please keep liking and watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholstery People would crawl to you if you opened up a school. Fantastic work Richard. Would love to learn more through you!

Richard, besides being a dear friend, is an artist! Not only does he deal with repairs just as in this video but is also a first-class model airplane designer as well as being a super honest and exceptional person. True Story!!!
Hi Brother Bob! Ah Shucks, I'm blushing! I have known Robert Pickwoad for 20 years! Time flys! Love you my brother...
You are a true craftsman! We need more people like you here in America....I bet Mike Rowe would enjoy spending time with you.Thanks!
Oh, Wow! Thank you for the wonderful compliments! I really do appreciate it. Please keep watching!
GOOD JOB
😂😂😂
This is what's known as a, "master craftsman". Spending 100K plus for a college degree is nothing more than supporting the debt enslavement usury system, when you could apprentice for free, and learn a trade that will provide for you a lifetime income.
Hello Mr C, I could not have said it better myself. You are 100% correct. Please keep liking and watching!
Chill
Just because you wasted your time in college doesn't mean everyone wasted their time
AND I WENT TO LAW SCHOOL FOR NOTHING DUDE...IT SUCKED!
I make what I paid for college every 3 weeks, worked for me but still appreciate a person that masters their craft.
From a professional to the other, there is always ways of improving your knowledge. I learned how to remove that cover the easiest way. You explain like a third grade teacher with patience without waisting time. Congrats my friend.
Hello Manuel, When I work I am in cruise control. I never give it much thought. I just do it. I go from that to simple instruction so that hopefully beginners can understand. If your a car guy, you might like seeing 43 years of my work. rudolphsupholstery.com Please keep liking and watching!
I did upholstery with my dad. He however did all the sewing and I did take down and replace. We did few automobiles and used hog rings in those days. I loved doing hand work. Probably why I ended up being a metal specialist journeyman welder. I still miss the upholstery.
You sir are an expert to the highest level.
Hello Dean Starfish, Memories...Thank you for all you're wonderful compliments! Please keep watching!
Hey how much do you make being a welder? I’ve always wanted to get into welding but was unsure of the pay for beginners vs someone with experience.
@@NotAdamSnider Hello Adam, I think the answer would be whatever someone is willing to pay you based on your skill and experience. Thanks for watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholstery I don't see much that others call art, but good skills. I like the way you respect your customers. It works both ways.
@@99nadroj Hello 99, I think it is just a common way of being nice about it. Some say a "Lost Art" I just do my work every day. Thanks for watching!
Just wanted to comment on how great of a teacher you are. You seem to enjoy what you are doing and it comes through in your videos. You truly are a master!
Hi! Thank you so much for all your kind words! I really appreciate everything you have said. Please keep watching!
I’m a commercial truck washer/detailer. I was just mentioning to my bro-in-law that I’m thinking of including seat/upholstery repair to my services for my clients, just yesterday! Now I come across your video doing one on the same type of trucks we detail every week! If this ain’t God telling me- IDK what is! Thank you sir for the inspiration! My Dad told to do this years ago.
Hello Big, There was a time I was doing commercial truck seats, only I fell into the trap of doing them too cheap, wholesale dealers. Stick with retail customers who will pay 100% retail. You will double your income. There is plenty of work out there. Just go for it! I stopped doing dealer work about 10 years ago and never looked back. Now, I get calls from dealers and the first thing they mention is that they are a dealer, knowing they should get a cheaper price. I laugh and tell them that was a big red flag. I tell them it doesn't make sense to me to do the same amount of work for half the price. I tell them I don't do dealers... You know, our dads are always wiser than us whether we want to admit it or not, they had life experiences before we did. Please keep liking and watching!
You welcome. My relatives and neighbors were in bus building business including seats but I never payed attention. Thanks again
Hello VayJay, Sounds like some good memories! Thanks for watching!
As a DIYer, this is something I wouldn't try myself. Amazing Craftmanship and a common problem with older vehicles. I would absolutely like to have someone like you make the repair for me. Big advantage not messing with the airbags.
Hi Dal V! If you wanted to really make it happen, you could do it! Thanks for watching!
I would totally try doing that but having a good machine to sew would be the problem!
@@carlsapartments8931 offer up i cone by those often
bbb
@@oldschoolautoupholstery Personally I wouldn't try the whole thing myself, but there's a lot here that can be done by any DIYer before taking the piece to be repaired to a skilled upholstery pro.
This is my newest favorite channel!
Your personable demeanor makes this a pleasure to watch- on top of the golden knowledge you share.
At about 14 mins, when you're sewing the pieces together I was like "That's going so smoothly- it doesn't look very hard." ten seconds later I was like "Uh, after 40 yrs everything looks easy. This does NOT look so easy for me to do.."
Hi Roger! Thank you for the warm compliments, it means the world to me. After a while, things come naturally, then sometimes I realize I am in cruise control mode... Thanks for watching!
Thanks! Lunch is on me!
Hello James Baggech! Thank you so much for the $uper Thank$! My wife and I will appreciate that lunch very much! Please keep watching!

What a nice guy, I don't even need my seat repaired, and this video popped in my home page. I just couldn't stop watching because this man is so easy to listen to.
Hello Paranormal, Thank you so much for your kind words! This means a lot to me. Please keep watching!
I really appreciate the way that you share your experience in a straight forward manner. It's obvious that you have honed your skills and I hope that you are able to pass them on to a new generation at your shop. Experience, knowledge, and customer empathy equal a thriving business and repeat/referral customers. Thanks for sharing!
Oh, Wow! Thank you for the wonderful compliments! I really do appreciate it. I tried to give everything to my 32-year-old stepson, but he didn't want it. Now he's a nanny. Go figure. Please keep watching!🙂
In the future, having seats will be subscription based. Just seats, not heated. Its a shame theres so little interest in AWESOME skills like this, I'd love to get to this level.
Liked and subscribed 👍 As a autobody man of 30yrs I’ve seen some upholstery done. You did a great job. Wish I had you as a resource back in the day when I was repairing cars. Not easy to find a good upholstery guy. Much love and respect my friend ❤️🙏👍🙂
Oh! Thank you for the wonderful compliments! I am so happy to hear the good news about your subscription. I really do appreciate it. Please keep watching!
Same here. There used to be 2 upholstery shops and 5 body shops here in my small town 15 years ago. Now there's 2 body shops and zero upholstery shops.
And this is why I like UA-cam!

I really enjoyed this video. Your style is great, honest and educational. I didn't have ANY idea about the art of upholstery and now I do. I really like your honest advice to others in your industry or the any industry for that matter. The parts about giving away free foam repair and thinking about not inconveniencing your customers by taking the seat out is a great examples of awesome customer service. Keep the great work.
Hi George, Wow! I am so happy to hear this wonderful compliment! Please keep watching!
Looking at the seats in my van, knowing they need some attention. Walk in the house, open the computer and BOOM... there you are. Like Roger said below "I could probably do that." Then I also realized watching a master can make any craft look easy. I will be going to a qualified upholstery shop. Keep the local businesses alive and thriving. Fascinating to watch how the different stitches are done.
Amazing display of craftsmanship. What part of the world are you from sir and would you do some repairs for me in Australia. I know its an outrageous cry for help but you are just what I need for my car seat repairs. Cheers George

You got me hooked! Can I ask what a ballpark figure would be to have this repair done? I know it will vary depending on area and experience. Can the same repair be done on leather seats?

Hello Doggy, Yep good 'Ol Technique #85. Thank you so much! Please keep watching!
Part of my secondary duties in the Canadian Air Force, between aircraft inspection's, was safety systems, where as I repaired aircraft covers, seats and used templates to make garment bags etc. I really like how smooth your Juki with the walking foot preformed. I really enjoyed the sewing, as my grandfather was a tailor and I came by it naturally. It's not for everybody trying to match inner and outer patterns, and the day's went by so fast. I dreaded when an aircraft came into maintenance, and I had to go back to my regular job.
Hello Harry, I love working on aircraft myself. I really liked your story. Thanks for sharing. Please keep watching!
Great job
AIR FORCE
not Air Force
It is clearly written on the aircraft -
You just have to learn to pay attention to detail
AIR FORCE is MILITARY
Air Force is what comes out of your Hair Dryer
I served in tn the AIR FORCE for 30 years
serving3 countries - beginning with the RAF
(Bomber Command ) from 1961 - then the RAAF
and two years on exchange with the USAF -
flying Heavy Transport and commuter Jet.
Again you failed to notice that the sewing machine brand is
JUKI and not Juki
Your eyes se one thing and your brain sees something
entirely different.
What you don't realize is that you were PROGRAMMED
to be ZOMBIE.
ZOMBIEs have eyes but cannot see - ears and cannot hear.
Paying attention to detail when one is in the pilots seat.
So you have to re-program your brain.
Learn also that all CORPORATE {legal}} names are always
in the ALL CAPS iteration.
Only the name of a living Soul is in Mixed Case Letters.
I studied both Law and Electronics Engineering during my
MILITARY service - and I cannot teach you Law in 5 minutes
to explain why ALL CAPS are used and when.
However you may catch on when you visit the cemetery and
see How the NAME of the CORPSES is written on the stone.
You will find every'body' is buried in the cemetery (Dead Centre)
@@andrew_koala2974First, sincere thanks for your service. Second, LIGHTEN UP, FRANCIS!
Richard, just found your site here and it's great... got a 92 Geo Tracker tow car that needs the exact same repair.
Small back-story that you and viewers might enjoy:
I retired as a Fleet Manager for Pepsi Cola and before Pepsi Corporate bought our franchise in Ventura in the 90's.
We kept our vehicles a long time (now they are replaced every 5 years approx.)
Anyway, we had some older cabovers that got heavy use delivering soda and the seats needed to be reupholstered frequently.
Paul at Mac's Upholstery in Ventura did all our work and one morning I was sharing some stories with Paul about my time
in Vietnam (1970's) and amazingly Paul had served on the USS Forestal (mid 1960's).
His job ? Repairing the ejection seats on the U2's that were launched off aircraft carriers back then. I was stunned to find out that this wide winged plane was carrier launched, but indeed they were. Apparently the seats took a beating and Paul maintained them so the pilots had a "comfortable" ride during such a grueling mission and tight quarters.
Thank you for your great DIY videos !
Hello Dave, Thank you for the amazing history! Please keep watching!
my brother in law served on the USS Forrestal. He was there when it caught 🔥
I just gained a new appreciation for upholsterers. You are a true craftsman!

No one can do this at home, so we must find a guy who does this work. I have three upholstery shops in my town and none will make a small repair like this--they make it a major operation costing many hundreds, or they just refuse the job.
Hi! I love the smaller jobs as they can get done quickly. Thanks for watching!
You find that when a craftsman makes something look easy, it's not always because it is, it's the years of experience and learning that make that possible.
Hello Murphy, Oh so wise. Thank you for the wonderful comment. Please keep watching!
I couldn’t help recognizing how you referred to your customer as “my customer” & “happy customer” instead of THE customer. You, my friend, show enormous respect for people like me looking for craftsmen faithful to us and our needs. Thank you for that!
Hello Fred, Thank you so much for all of your kind words. I really do appreciate it. Please keep liking and watching!
I've always been amazed by the work upholstery shop's do. Over the years I've had a left bolster repaired, a sun visor repaired, and a headliner replaced.
Hello RKGSD, Yes, I can see that sometimes maintenance needs to be done to keep our vehicles looking like new. Please keep watching!

I took two years of upholstery classes 10:years ago. It was a lot of fun to master this craft.
Hello Master John, It sounds like some good memories. Thanks for watching!
This video helps make one realize the few hundred it likely costs to do these repairs is worth it- looks easy, is not! Making it look "easy", you help people realize that's with 30+ years experience! Well done
Hi! Sorry for the correction but I still love you! 43 Years. Thank you so much for the wonderful compliment! Please keep watching.
Nice to see a process that can restore the function of the seat without throwing it away and replacing it with a new one. We seem to be a throw away people with most everything these days. Nice video.
Hello Trains by Ben, Thank you so much! True, how true... Please keep watching!
This guy knows what he's doing, probably for over a half century. Congrats!
Hello Wilson, Thank you so much for saying so! Well, at least 43 years so far. Please keep liking and watching!
I visited your website, you seen like a kind person who really cares about people, I'm so glad to see there's still good people in the world. I wish I lived in TX so I could get some work done by you, my car seat has a rip in it, I was looking to see if I could do it myself but there's no way. You care about your customers and that's a wonderful characteristic. Wish there were more people like you in the world.
Hi Warren! Wow, that's a powerful compliment. Thank you so much for all of your kind words! Please keep watching!
It was fun watching you do this professional repair. It turned out really nice! I had a chance to learn auto upholstery in high school about 40 years ago. I wish I had pursued it, because it would have been a great field to be in, especially if you want to own and operate your own business! LISTEN UP, KIDS!
Hello Wolfsmack, That is some great advice! Anything is better for kids than a video screen. Makes them weak! Please keep watching!
Truly a master. Thanks for sharing your techniques. We appreciate you very much.
Hello Mr Luigi, Thank you so much for all the kind words! Please keep watching!

Hello Martin, Thank you so much! Please keep watching!
Thanks for making Auto Upholstery great again. Now I am going to be redoing all my seats. Wish me luck! I will need to watch a few more of your video's and blow the dust off my Granny's old machine, but we are going to give a whirl. TYTY You make it look simple and almost effortless, So I know it will not be quite that easy or simple. If it takes you 42 minutes it might take us 42 hours but it will be an experience non the less!
Hello Vinnie, I'm sure you will do just fine with your seats. I also think you will enjoy it! Please keep watching!
I just love how happy this guy is .. nothing is wrong. it's just flows just like the guy that paints from the 70s little birds no mess ups just little birdies
Hello Theyluv, I love it! Right on! Right on. Please keep liking and watching!
Very informative, educational, and entertaining. Your commentary keeps it fun.
Hello Bill, Thank you so much for your kind words! Please keep watching!
Superb seat repair. Quite involved and more to it than I thought. Your patterns were simple looking but great as you factored in excess material. Stitching was impressive as well. Foam backing and repair another plus.
Your tutorial and explanation were perfect. Your talent and experience is amazing. Learning these types of repairs initially takes a lot of practice. I don't think I'd try this repair myself these days. Many considerations to be able to complete and deliver an OEM look back to the seat.
Kudos for this interesting repair. Was just browsing and decided to watch it. Glad I did and was totally absorbed with this repair.
I'll be back!!!!
Oh, Wow! Thank you for the wonderful compliments! I really do appreciate it. Please keep watching!🙂
Excellent video, clearly and patiently explained. To those with a cherished car: Before it's too late, get out of the habit of getting into your car with a set of keys hanging out your back pocket, or anything else with hard edges that might over time tear your upholstery up.
Hello Ken, Thank you so much! Also thanks for sharing the excellent advise! Please keep watching!

Mad skills dude, way to go! You reminded me of my great uncle, a custom tailor from Italy. That part of the driver's seat is always a telltale sign as to how much wear and tear on a used vehicle. Sadly skills such as yours are becoming scarce here in the US. Thanks for sharing!

So amazing to watch a master craftsman illustrating step by step tutorials like this. We need more people to apprentice themselves with skilled mentors like Richard especially now with our supply chain problems.
There is nothing like being your own boss in a business that you enjoy and really without much competition.
I hope there are many young people that watch this video and realize there are great opportunities if you become a skilled professional in many trades, especially in the automotive industry.
