I started learning custom upholstery in 2008. I was lucky enough to have a great teacher when I first started. I learned a great foundation of upholstery skills from him but that only gets you so far. Over the years I have had to learn so many skills on my own. Most of the time I learned by just figuring things out myself because there is just very little information available about the upholstery trade. It was not an easy path and I’m still learning new skills every day.
A few years ago I made a few “How to” videos and posted them on YouTube and I received great feedback. This was when I realized how much I enjoy sharing and teaching my knowledge of this industry that I love so much. I want to bring new life back to this dying art. I believe in a world of abundance and there is more work out there in the industry than I could ever possibly do. That is why is my intention to create not only an amazing educational resource for people to learn this trade but also an amazing community for the upholstery industry to share their knowledge and experience. So if you’re new or experienced I’m asking for your help to make this happen!

I just finished watching your new video on re-upholstering a complete seat. It is FANTASTIC. Thanks for taking the time to make it. It is SO informative! I learned more from you in a few hours than I’ve learn in the last few years. Not only do you explain the procedures, but you fill us in on the “tricks of the trade” too. I also like the fact that you tell WHY things are done a certain way. The info on making patterns is SO helpful. It’s about time someone made a training video like this. I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on useless books and videos trying to learn what you explain to me in these great teaching videos. Thanks again. I can’t wait for any more you may produce in the future.

These videos are awesome and I really appreciate you taking the time to make them. I have struggled for a year now trying to figure some of this stuff out on my own. These videos go into really good detail. I purchased Sid Chavers DVDs a year ago and they were good but only hit the high points and left a lot of gray areas. I have already got my moneys worth with the tips making things easier and more consistent.
