Upholstery class #3

Thursday, September 1st, 2011

I’ve fallen behind again. How does that happen so quickly? Life just gets in the way sometimes. We’ll be skipping this week’s upholstery class due to some travel for the long holiday weekend. Last class was fun, though.

I got to break out some heavy duty tools! Frederick let me use his staple gun; but this isn’t your run-of-the-mill staple gun that you might keep in your toolbox. This thing is what the pros use. It’s connected to an air compressor and I was a little intimidated at first. But, I learned quickly, didn’t staple myself to anything, and my chair seat is complete! Woo Hoo!

The florescent lighting in the classroom makes the colors much brighter than they truly are…I thought about retaking some shots, but I figure I’ll just let y’all wait until I can show off the finished product.

I want one of these. Big time.

Showing it who's boss...

Tackling the corners. Sorry it's blurry...action shot!

It's not nearly as neon in real life, promise.

Hope everyone has a safe and festive holiday weekend. More to come next week!
