@Angry Hippo I would LOVE to do a slipcover...I tried for about a week, but I was defeated and realized my reupholstering skills were much better. I'm taking a slipcover class and that way I can have my chair with or without a slipcover (provided the lady I'm paying can even teach me...ugh!).

WOW! For people who have old houses in their extended families, with old faded, torn or stained furniture heirlooms -- this is very enlightening. Most people don't want to spend the money to redo their old chairs and are too intimidated by the DIY approach, but this is very inspiring. You have an incredible skill set. Can't wait to see the scaled down chair also. Awesome video!

Thanks so much for this excellent tutorial. I have a chair almost exactly like this one that I paid $50 for 15 or 20 years ago. The only difference is the arm fronts are rolled back vertically. The legs are identical. I finally am finding the courage to reupholstering it. this tutorial gave me exactly the information I needed and no lengthy, dragged out explanations. I'm working on the cushion now and will get to the rest next. Perfect pacing and instructions! Great job!!

Not long ago, I bought a cheap but glorious antique couch off of Craigslist. It has gorgeous Nouveau details, with original brass claw feet and everything. When I was stripping this thing down to the frame, I cannot tell you how much horsehair padding I had to deal with! And hand-cut upholstery tacks! It was INSANE. I totally envy your clean strip job on this chair!

My mother, sister and I reupholster antique furniture we find in estate sales, it's so satisfying at the end of the day to sit in a chair you rebuilt yourself! I don't know if it's because we work with older chairs or just chance, but I've never seen those bracket strips you use to fold the fabric into? That's neat as hell!
