That looks really Jens. I like the idea

I have a dowel rack much like the others. Also, I've been labeling all of my material for the last five years and it's made a huge difference for me. Finding material and reordering is so much easier now.

Wow that's crazy. We get $350

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing

I try to avoid 90 degree corners all together when sewing piping. Whenever possible try to round off your corner. It's easier to sew and avoids the problem you're having.

lol that's hilarious

It comes in different sizes. If they don't have your size you can always trim it down.

I dig the baseball shift knob. Very cool!

@Chris Vining I love the pleats on the sill plates and transmission tunnel. That looks awesome

Here's one I found on Instagram last year

Great job! What vehicle was that seat pulled out of?

That's awesome Andy! I can't believe you were able to bend and shape the plastic like that. Very cool

I use Weldwood Contact Adhesive

One thing to consider is how the lights will be wired. Some fixtures allow you to plug into one another which makes for easy wiring. Also consider which lights will go on which switches. If you're looking to save money on your electric bill keep in mind there is no sense in lighting areas that you're not working in at the time. At my shop, I only light the bay that I'm working in.

I'd say you're already doing it right Keith. Those pieces turned out great.

As for preventing the cover from sticking in areas that you're not working on yet, I place several pieces of scrap vinyl between the cover and the piece to prevent the glue from sticking. I'll adhere a small section at a time and remove those scrap pieces of vinyl when I'm ready to work on that area.

My biggest money makers are repairs on daily drivers. I end up making far more money per hour on headliners, convertible tops and seat repairs than classic interior restorations and custom interiors. That's why I prefer to do the repair jobs over the others.

That's a ton of work Fred. If only people understood the amount of prep work before you even start the upholstery

That turned out awesome. Great job!

Very clean work Chris and James!

Does the chalk rub off from your hands while your sewing your seams? I haven't tried the Dritz chalk wheel but I'm worried that that might be a problem with it.

That cordless foam saw looks sweet. I'd like to try that out!

Hey Steven. Check out this article we wrote a few months back. I think you'll find it helpful

Incredible job Jean! What a difference!

Clean work @Jesse Durkee What kind of suede did you use?

Wow well worth it though. That's definitely a work of art. Great job!
