General Discussion / Labor Day
September 02, 2013, 04:11:34 am
Today acknowledges every American worker and we are supposed to have the day off since it's a Holiday.  I know there are many here - me for one -  that will have a saw, drill, gun, or broom in their hands for a better part of the day.  Working with my hands as a tradesman amplifies the day for me so around 3pm I'll raise a glass to a group of folks here who share our work schedule.

An account asked me if I could change a seat chasing on a sofa in the field.  Before I respond to his e-mail "what's a Seat Chasing" 
Thanks

General Discussion / Seat

Hello

This is the seat where I was going to try and stiffen the springs.  Change of plan, I re did it all. New webbing,
retied springs and will put new cushion.  The springs weren't soft - rather the webbing and filling was not doing the job.  The old filling was straw and horse hair woven and sewed into a burlap wrapped cushion.  I'm going to fill the voids around the springs with padding and use a new 2 in. foam cushion wrapped in Dacron.  Should I cut the cushion full out or 1/2 less for the Dacron layer. Would you bevel the top of the cushion.  Also any other observations or critique is appreciated.  Thank You

General Discussion / Coil Springs

Good Holiday to All !
Please help with a question.  If I wanted to make coil springs slightly stiffer in a side chair where the top fabric was being replaced but the webbing was good, + tight,  and the foam cushioning was good - can you comment on a technique or old trick up your sleeve.

Thanks,
SA

General Discussion / Love Seat Damage
April 14, 2013, 07:36:42 pm
I have an older leather love seat and the dog chewed a hole.  I have a small piece of matching leather fabric to cover the hole. The extra piece is about 1 inch bigger than the hole all the way around. The love seat is about 8 years old so I just want to patch for now and get another couple of years out of it before replacing entirely.  How would you proceed.
Thanks for any advice to get me going in the right direction.
