CBC Re-upholstery Process

Spent some time this week filming in the shop while I was reshaping and re-covering a leather shovelhead seat, and put together this short video. I know its not an xs seat, but thought people might dig a how its made video...

Cheers! Wes

Two things.
First, great video. I am well aware of how much work it is to set up shots and edit a video -- lots of time and effort. Thanks for a job well done -- on both the seat and the vid.

Second, can you say something about the foam you use. I see at least two different foams, the purple and white. Maybe two different whites, one for pleating, and one that went around the purple foam. I'd really like to know what they are and where you sourced them. Thanks.

Yeah its an 80's sewing machine.. gotta keep her oiled and tuned up! lol!

Using just a metal cut off wheel in the angle grinder and then a coarse thick grinding disc to do the final smoothing... Ive tried almost everything and that is the most efficient way! lol

I'm impressed
A guy could use that technic on the foam to re foam a seat pan to a repo skin

If Leatherface had half your skill he wouldn’t have had to do what he done. Awesome work!
Might be sending you a PM for a seat down the road.

Haha thanks!.. Yeah i use basically the same technique to build a bare pan up too. Just have to have a variety of some denser foam at the bottom and softer foam as you get to the top...

Wow, very nice. That's not the average $40 seat condom. Green with envy here.
