As someone who has only been doing upholstery for about 2 years, I found it incredibly hard to find any decent tutorials on the process. Of course I bought and read the book by Don Taylor and Ron Magnus, and another on the basics of upholstery, but compared to other industries, there is a great lack of information for someone wanting to get into the business. There are no trim shops close to me so I had no one to learn from. In my opinion it does seem thee is a tremendous secrecy to methods and practices in the upholstery business. Honestly if I had not found this site, and the great beginners section, when I was just starting, I probably would have given up, and it's not like I don't have some skills, I built a complete car when I was 20, and learned paint and body, metal fab, electrical, all of it by reading and doing. I've now been building cars for almost 30 years and get plenty of word of mouth business. I'm no pro at this yet, but with great people like on this forum and some help, and hopefully more tutorials, I'm going to try to get better. Just my .02
