Edward and Jenny Crowther look like real nice people. I enjoyed perusing their web site.

I was wondering if they only used tacks, but I did see an air hose in one of the pictures.

Thanks for the link, but I am in the US and I wouldn't know how to use metric scissors any how.

QUALITY DOES NOT COST, IT PAYS!

They use staple guns connected to an air compressor for most of their commercial modern upholstery work, but they use old fashioned tacks for traditional work. Students can use either.

Dont worry Gene 10" or 12" shears cut metre lengths just as easy as yards. Thankfully we went metric the Antiques didn't.

Thanks for the link Armchair, it looks a good site and maybe they would be interested in joining our national association.
