This video is fantastic, and well worth the 10 minutes or so to watch it. It's a clear demonstration, and the tying will last a long, LONG time. Chair frames have only so many re-upholstering jobs in their lifetimes, so you need to do the job right. Shows some electric tools I don't have, but I had no problem using the tools I did have to accomplish the job.
@TheWicho46 Thanks for your comment. Juan is very good at what he dose. We are blessed to have him working with us.
At last a real video. Nice job!!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait to try this method of spring tying, I like how he goes across first and then pushes the springs underneath. I am really struggling with doing it the other way and trying to hold them down and tension at the same time. Thanks for the great videos!
Hey Kim! Loved this technique. It was a life saver today. I always have wrist pain trying to get my tension just right but not today.
Isnt it great to watch someone who know's an expert doing his work? Think this is the best instructional video re upholstery I have seen
Thanks Marie
Juan: You do excellent work.
The shop should be Juan's upholstery.
You have motivated me to continue work on my 1930 chevrolet sedan
Thanks for sharing your craftsmanship to us.
Your work is fantastic it has inspired me to re upholstery an old chair that has springs, the way you do it, you make it look so easy.
+Jeanne Kane Please share your progress with us. Thanks for watching and please subscribe to my channel. Kim
best spring coil tie what i have seen so far!!!
True Craftsman. Great Work. You don't see this often anymore.
Thanks Cindy. Kim
Very helpful. Thanks for sharing
What a great video. I've hit my subscribe button and will be hoping to find more of these. He makes it look effortless. Especially liked just watching him work without talking through the steps...helped me pay attention to the steps. Sure hope the finished piece is on another video.
Beautiful! Thanks.
Thank you very much for posting this video. I learned a lot! The video was well filmed and Juan is very good at what he does! I have a Duncan Phyfe and two Queen Anne chairs I would like to have the springs repaired in, and was considering doing it myself. Not anymore! LOL!
Hi, If is a fasco stapler. This one is a long nose, which is not necessary, but I find it fits nicely in to tight spaces.
Glad you are enjoying the videos, Kim
Thanks so much for the great lesson on how to do this, truly a craftsman.

Technique is different than on any other video I've watched. Appears to be easier. Thank you for sharing. Enjoyed.
That's because it is wrong lol
Interesting method. Love it.

es la mejor explicacion que encontre sobre este tema, muchas gracias, y ahora si que puedo restaurar mi sillon !!
Gracias +MONIkStylo. Buena suerte con su silla. Kim
I have read that springs in a chair seat without an added cushion should be compressed so that at the crown they are no higher than 2-3" above the chair frame. I am reupholstering two slipper chairs and just finished retying the springs (this video was extremely helpful). The crown is 1- 3/4" above the chair frame yet when I sit on it, the springs still feel somewhat spongy. Will the seat firm up more once the padding and finish fabric is applied?
this guy is AMAZING. Did you ever notice that people who know how to do it right do not always complete the task correctly. this dude is awesome.
Hi Janice, Thanks for watching and please subscribe to our channel.
Kim
Sure. I watched you do an ottoman yesterday. Your measuring/processing skills are Incredible. I love education vídeos your channel is way beyond a how to video.
Janice Rhoden Wow, thats the nicest comment we have ever gotten. Thanks. Kim
Of course. My couch is sagging. And I was doing some re-con investigating. Your channel is the best.
never seen springs tied this way before! very interesting
Brilliant!
Beautiful job. So refreshing to see a craftsman's work. Claccis Leather in Hickory, NC, still does it this way. Yes it's expensive but we've had our since 1990.
Sewing springs to the webbing is still done today and preferred by many upholsterers. Thanks for watching. Kim
Excelente!!!!!
Where can I buy tools & supplies needed to tie springs on sofa couch,
We usually match what was in the piece if it was adequate. If you have no springs to go by you would use the gauge appropriate for the use, example back lighter and seat heavy gauge. The height would be determined by the outcome you are looking for. It helps to have a sample of the different springs on hand to test them too.
Hope this helps. Kim
I have an old sofa that I had to restretch in a couple of areas and the springs were sewn on to the webbing ...I guess that is an alternative to the Clinch It? (Wish I lived in Massachusetts! Great video!)
Fantastico !!!
I Have been a very successful Upholsterer for over 40 years. and though methods vary, This is not wrong.
The tool is a 'Clinchit' tool, sold at wholesale upholstery supply houses. I think it sells for around $160. Thanks for watching our videos.
I'm reupholstering/re-imagining/rebuilding two couches. I'm removing the serpentine springs and will add hand-tied coil springs. The owner of the local upholstery supply shop suggested that I use plywood as a base for the coils instead of using the traditional jute webbing. Would love some input on the pluses and minuses of this idea!
Pupparazzi World Without seeing your sofa it's hard to imagine why the upholsterer suggested plywood. I use webbing or sagless. Thanks for watching. Kim
That was an interesting lesson. I will now feel better when the upholsterer gives me his price...LOL!
Thanks for your question. The twine is called 'Ruby Jute" available at most upholstery supply stores.
This is a great video to show how to do this.. Thanks so much! I wish you were in Texas, I would love to take some of your classes. I do upholstery, but am still a beginner.
You could travel to a workshop here in Massachusetts or you could find one coming up near you. Use this link to find out more. kimsupholstery.com/live-events/workshops/

Hello jorasparents, We use a heavy 'hand tying' thread. It's too heavy for our industrial machines. And yes we sometimes steam the middle of the cushion. Normally we like to replace the foam as it will last much longer but sometimes our clients don't want the added expense and that is when we steam it. We make no guarantee as to how long it will keep it's shape. Kim
Put some copy on this video and millions would dig it - tool names and info, etc. That guy's smooth and great to watch
Thanks for the advice ModemmeX NYC. Hopefully, we will improve with time. You should contact my husband Bill. He does all of my videos. Your YT site looks interesting. Will take a closer look soon. Thanks for watching. Kim
Looks like good way to soften up a chair. Same way as a mattress.
BEAUTIFUL JOB THERE.
That tool is called a Clinch It. Thanks for watching our videos.
Thanks for the quick reply (I thought I had posted a thank-you, but it's not showing up). Two more quick questions if you don't mind - wondering what type of thread to use to resew springs; I used a heavy-duty sewing thread a few years ago when I had to restretch, but I'm thinking there must be something stronger. Ans also, in your foam-steaming video (rejuvenate foam using a steamer), do you also steam the middle part of the cushion? Thanks again!

@jamesbondaygee Thanks for your comment and good luck with your springs.I would be interested in seeing pictures of your project, before and after. If you have any questions feel free to email us.
Wow, thanks for the quick reply! If you don't mind my asking, what type of thread is used to resew? I used a heavy-duty sewing thread which has lasted so far (knock wood), but I'm wondering if I should have used something stronger. Thanks again!
I really like this video. What kind of stapler is this?
JOSE THE MASTER👍👍👍👍👍
I liked, that he didnt talk through the video. Very visual instruction, thank you!
Felicidades por todo el esmero puesto en este trabajo !!!!Mi familia por mas de 40 años se a dedicado a fabicar sofas y sofas cama y claro tenemos el servicio de Re-Tapizado es una actividad muy grata se conocen a muchas familias y en ocasiones los clientes piden trabajos que llegan a resultados geniales les comparto uno de mis trabajos saludos afectuosos desde la Ciudad de México.

También hacen este tipo de amarrados ?
Muy bueno!!!"!
eres bienvenido! You Are welcome!
Lowes has a regulator. slinky hose and case with co2 bottle for about $100. You can get the larger ones like the paintball guys use for it too. It hangs on your belt as does your gun. We used it for headless pinner (Grex) for cabinetry installs, it's great and no loud compressor or dragging a hose around everywhere.
Hi Doug Thibaudeau are you talking about a staple gun? Kim
No its a regulator that screws onto a bottle of CO2 (compressed carbon dioxide) your staple gun uses about the same volume of air as the pin gun we used. Its handy especially for in-home repair, compact and quiet (no compressor running) and no hose dragging or tripping because you wear it. For video it would also be effective so no compressor noise interrupting. Also does not harm your equipment since CO2 is an inert gas it doesn't corrode like oxygen.
Doug Thibaudeau Thanks for the great tip. I will definitely check it out. Kim
Barrymore in Toronto. best in the business.
Nice
Hi Kim, how do you know what springs to purchase?
Great video, I can now make a start on the old chair my wife and i stripped down to repair the loose joints. The tool used to attach the springs to the webbing is obviously a very quick way of doing the job, when we stripped the chair back to the frame for repairs the springs were tied in place with jute string, are the clips better than string or is it just for speed that clips are used
Hi C .Wright. The clips are not better than a well done tying job, just faster. The tool and clips are expensive. Please find us on FaceBook and share pictures of your progress.Thanks for watching. Bill C
Thanks WoodstockNani. Please join us at Kim's Upholstery on FaceBook.
Kim
nice
he's like a little spider webbing that chair up. very peaceful except for that phone...and his name is Juan too
i disovered a coil spring system under a couch I had to take apart due to severe damage, because they used thick tack nails on a thin fragile wood frame. The coils were not tied very well and were falling apart every where. I know that if it had been done the way this man did it, it's integrity would still be holding up .Now I have to take apart the entire couch and put in a zig zag system
Thanks for watching Natasha Pratt and good luck with your project.
Can you help me with how much cord to measure off for each length? The one commentary in the video mentions having made the strings a little looser, otherwise the crown will be too tight. Can you give a little more guidance for this technique please?
Hi, I would know what are the tools he is using.
👏👍
Hi - Great video! What model is the upholstery gun he is using? Thanks. :)
Tarjia, we use the Fasco brand 1B 7C-16 LN. Here is our affiliate link if You are interested. kimsupholstery.com/shop/shop-tools-and-supplies/
como se llama esa herramienta que usa para grapar los resortes a la cincha. gracias por su respuesta. nunca la habia visto y aqui en mi pais no se consigue.
Essa quantidade de grampos que ele põe no mesmo lugar, não enfraquece a madeira?
Is it best to use over sized springs and press them down?
I have a 1940s club lounge it has a heavy board screwed underneath in hold the screws. And i have a club lounge armchair and on this one i can see the fabric strips have sagged in the ground from the springs. Should i get them both respringed....?
Hello, fantastic video, but what is the name of the tool the craftsman is using to fix the springs at the belts?
that's a clinch-it. super expensive. checkebay
Nails work fine but tend to split the wood. Especially on a piece that has ben upholstered more than once. Also in time the nails will get loose or even pull out. Each to his own.
are you saying screws are better?
I tried this but my Italian Ruby twine kept breaking at the point of stapling. What gauge and length of staples do you use?
What is the tool he uses to attach the springs to the jute?
Can you tell me what fabric is being use and how to get it
I am from Iraq( Spring) how can I buy it from Amazon Give me the purchase link
Good
What are the tools called that you use? Obviously a stapler, but there is some sort of stretcher, and some other device that you used to attach the springs to the webbing. Beautiful work. I have an 1800s chair that I need to refinish and would love to attempt to do this.
The tool in question is probably the 'Klinch-It' . We use it to attach springs to the webbing. If you would like to learn to upholster take a look at our website at- kimsupholstery.com/online-classes/membership-benefits/
Thank you.
What is the webbing stretcher called?
Hi Kim! What's the name of the device used to clip the springs to the webbing?
Klinch it tool
COMO SE LLAMA ESA MAQUINA CON LA QUE AFIRMAN LOS RESORTES AQUI EN CHILE NO HAY
What is the tool used to attach springs to webbing and where can it be purchased.
Nicely done, but 25 staples in just one end of a piece of jute webbing?
Как називается инструмент для прикрепления пружин?
what are the tools that you use in this video?
also, what is a good supplier for these materials? coil springs, jute webbing, jute string?
udf Check out DIY supply. Thanks for watching. Kim

Hi,
What is the "webbing" material that is criss crossed on the bottom of the chair and where can I buy it? Thank you.
That is called jute webbing most fabric stores sell it.
Would you use this same method when tieing springs with edge wire?
+Nancy Sherin No
+Nancy Sherin No I would not.
+Kim's Upholstery How would you change this method when tieing springs with a wire edge?
👉👍
Where do i buy the springs?
I do streach my webbing prior stapling, I fell that if you don't, with time it will sag.
A parte que coloca as cordas no assento eu achei bem feito, mas continuo pensando que ela usa muito grampos e que eles enfraquecem a estrutura.
Balbino de Jesus The staples are fine and do not weaken the wood as much as upholstery tacks do. In time the cracks made by tacks shrink up allowing the tack to be easily pulled out. i have never found a staple that was easy to pull out of good wood. What projects are you working on? Would you mind telling me a little about yourself?
Tenho pego sofás para reformar, mas passo para tapeceiros. Eu ainda não tenho conhecimentos suficientes.
Gostaria da indicação de livros, como não tenho condições de viajar para estudar. O nível de aula de tapeçaria aqui no Brasil chega a ser uma piada.
Achei excelente esse jeito de assento e encosto com molas que vocês fazem.muito obrigado por me responder.
Em relação à quantidade de grampos, reparei que este rapaz põe vários, enquanto outros vídeos a que assisti, os profissionais colocam no máximo 6.
Muito obrigado por responder.
Aguardo a indicação de livros consagrados de tapeçaria.
That should last at least 80 years!! I darned sure wished when my couch was built they tied it like that, I assume it wasn't b/c a few of the springs have either popped or the strings broke (haven't turned the couch over and released the fabric yet). They damage happened after the (expensive custrom) couch was about 8 yrs. old. I live alone and when my nieces visit the do NOT jump on my furniture. I guess. it was shoddy workmanship.
macycharmin Too bad about your sofa. Will you be fixing it. Please share pictures. Thanks for watching. Kim
Hi Kim, I never expected a response! Thanks. Yes I plan on fixing it, it's in 'my (sitting) spot' and I know it will only get worse regardless if I don't repair it. I've haven't had anyone respond to my inquiry calls, I guess they're all too busy for more work lol.
HI,
WHAT IS THE NAME OFF THE TOLLS YOU USE TO FASTING THE SPRINGS.
Klinch-it Tool
Yes this is one method of Tying springs 8 ways. All Upholsterers will tell you that Spring Tying is their least favorite thing to do. i blame spring tying for the Arthritis in my hands today.
My husband Bill would agree with you Jerry, he has Arthritis and Carpel tunnel in both hands. He does all my tying.
i too have the Arthritis in my hands primarily. i guess this is how i got it.
Still don't see an answer to: What is the device used to clip the springs to the webbing? Can anyone tell me?
Hi +CarolCook that tool is called a Klinch It. A very handy tool if you do a lot of spring work. I think they sell for about $300 and the fasteners that fit the tool are on the expensive side.
jamesbondygee Sorry you had to give up. It would be just as difficult in an expensive sofa, maybe even more so.
What is the name of the tool holding the strap?
Jasmin, the tool is a Gooseneck Stretcher. Kim
Hello, anyone know of any furniture companies in Canada that do Traditional 8 Way Hand Tied? I know there are many in the US, but cannot seem to find any in Canada. If i can find a company that does 8 Way then I'm assuming that it is a top notch manufacturer, thanks in advance
+Drew Bostonian Sorry don't know any off hand. Thanks for watching. Kim Plese subscribe to my channel
+Drew Bostonian HUNTINGTON house in NC USA
Montauk (if spelling is right) is an excellent brand to search in Canada
NO GOOD
I JOBS THIS VERY GOOD AND WITH CRIN
What if I don’t have those tools..
Stodoys is a solid company with solid woodworking plans.
Sew the springs in with a locking stitch. three knots each at least!.
Step by step narrative of what you were doing and WHY would have been helpful...
Idk anything about antiques, but judging by the style & construction I have a 4 spring footstool that looks to be the match to this chair! The bottom strapping will be tricky as it has the wave I see on the one side of your chair all the way around the perimeter.
You are right +MsTrinity333. Sorry!
hey use the nails is much better for to tie the sprintes.
Sorry to say that's all wrong.
