Many of you know that I tend to jump into projects after doing a little research and try to re-create or learn new things. One of the things that I jumped headfirst into was upholstery. I am by no means an expert and I don’t think I am quick enough yet to do a project for someone beyond a minimum wage per hour, but I am learning as I go.
I will grab a couple of my projects that I have already posted on my car interior, but this thread will be for some of my household upholstery projects and the progress of my shop setup. My goal is to make projects a little easier and to be more efficient. I will try to post as many pictures as I can remember to take.
I will start with a picture of my current shop setup. You can see my Sailrite Industrial sewing machine just to the left of my toolbox. I also created a layout/cutting table. It consists of two 72x19 and one 48x19 workbenches connected together by a laminate floor top. I wanted a nice large durable surface so instead of going out and buying something to top it, I decided to go shopping in my basement. I had a number of boxes of flooring that I had leftover from my old house and my wife’s craft room. It makes a nice durable surface. Now I need a larger sewing surface.
