Blog For Upholstering
This book is great for anyone from total beginners on up. I have used it for several upholstery projects for nearly 15 years now, starting with my very first upholstery project. It took all the nervousness out of that first project, and I’ve used it ever since. It is a step-by-step guide to reupholstering almost any kind of chair, but it doesn’t just cover the cloth and stuffing; it covers repair all the way up from the bottom, including re-doing old seat webbing, etc. It offers several alternatives for repairs, as well (for example, changing old webbing to a piece of plywood for the bottom of a seat–or changing from one type of webbing to another). Photos are all in black-and-white, making images less distracting than color photos (as pointed out by another reviewer). The front of the book offers a basic list of upholstery tools you will need; a guide on how to select fabric; a 7-page spread of pictures of chairs giving yardage estimates for each chair type; and a glossary with pictures. The rest of the book is a very detailed yet easy-to-follow upholstering guide for just about every kind of chair imaginable including difficult chairs (those with quilted backs, etc.). I highly recommend this book and am glad to see it still in print. Despite its age, it is still very useful and completely applicable to modern projects. Great buy.

Works well on 95 Chevy pickup door panel clips. Does not mar the paint as would prying with a screwdriver. Lifts the clip straight up and not at an angle as would a pry tool. This avoids breaking the clips which cost over a dollar each to replace. Does not work well in a tight spot near the door hinge but I don’t know of any tool that does. My only regret is that I did’nt find this tool at Amazon before I purchased mine at NAPA at a much higher price. This is a good quality tool used and recommended by the local body shop. Also an excellent price.
