Hi all...

As many of you know.. I'm newly in business and starting to get some calls for estimates..  But I'm having people request photos of the work we've done..   

I had worked with another upholsterer who has since left the state and moved back to florida.. so I don't have photos of my own personal work...

How have or would you all handle this?  Thanks!!!

New shop.. New job.... Need advice...

I have a 1975 Boston Whaler Sakonnet ... owner wanting a cockpit cover.. This has a wooden center console...

Looking for advice.. first time with a center console like this.. At least owner is in no rush.. So I can take my time... :o

I'm trying to decide what the right binder attachment I need for marine carpet.. I have a Consew 206 RB-5.. It seems reasonable to me that we would need a 1" tape binder with an opening large enough for the thickness of a 24oz carpet...

What would be my best option??  Thanks all..

I'd like to get some opinions on the best thread for marine upholstery..

Interior seating and cushions and outdoor vinyl and canvas..

Some of the threads I'm interested in are Polymatic, Tenara and SolarFix PTFE 2000 denier thread...

It seems the Sunguard gives me more trouble than it's worth..   Thanks..
