Tech week....Home made seat covers, or Louver press?

I vote for the seat covers as well!

 

Who has two thumbs and wants seat covers?... "This Guy"

 

Seat covers, but I'd read either one without complaining.

 

That's the truth.............

 

Seat covers get my vote.

 

seat covers.I just thought about building a press to some how fit on my bridge port but gave up when i found a guy to do the louvers for a buck fifty a piece.Wasnt worth my time wich a dont seam to have enough.

 

Well I guess seat covers it is. With the lover press to come later.

 

I would also like to see both! Don't plan on doing seat covers in the near future so maybe that one could wait until later.

 

That's right, the seat covers first!

both topics are cool but seriously for me it is seat covers

 

dinky machine (got one of those), please. Ah, hell....do both!!!

new guy question. When is tech week? i have a how to on ****on & tufted looks really easy im planning on it for my 40 pickmup. Im a cabinet maker and have seat frames planned out that can be modified or not for compfort. The foam is shaped with an electris meat knife it would take quite a bit to get it from book form to posting it here if there's interest in ****on/tuffed i would enjoy getting it on paper.

OOPS in my excitement wanting to share this i forgot bout infringement rights so the name of the book is Street Rod Building Skills by John Thawley #S132 yellow body with red letters

 

I am going to try to get to your shop on Friday. Keith

 

HOW TO: tuck and roll

 

how to make a complete leather interior from leather salvaged off free sofas on craigslist, i have one garbage bag full of black leather and one of green leather, still looking at every free leather sofa that shows up in my area.

 

seat covers gets my vote

 

Louver press.

Industrial sewing machines a pretty cheap, and easy to come by.

 

Do both, seat covers and louver press.

 

The secret for installing them over new foam.. Cover the the new foam with large garbage baggies...

 

Louver press

 

i wish i could remember what issue of hotrod magazine had the how to do a tuck n roll for a bucket T.. they made it look so simple.. granted i know better but.. i wish i could remember which issue had it since thats what id like in the bucket T i plan on building.. with lots of foam, they are so damn comfy.. the only thing iv made was a motorcycle seat.. for a vw trike i built.. turned out nice.. i did get a strange look from my mom when i asked to use grandma old sewing machine.. im glad it was built ford tough.. or i would of broke it with out even thinking about plastic teeth that is used in new sewing machines now..

Being I have louver dies and no press I say Louver Press. Industrial sewing machine or not its still the same concept. Having a Industrial machine only makes it a bit eaiser. There is still tons of skill and practice needed in doing your own upholstry either way you go. Maybe do a bit on patern making as well? I have a Singer 111w155 and a 56. Both nice industrial machines but I have made several covers on a home machine as well?

 

Press Please!

 

Being comfortable is more important. I think.

 

Both get my vote, and attention

 

Is either one gonna happen?

 

Hahaha...I have been doing the exact same thing thinking I was super cleaver. Great minds think alike i guess.

 

silicone spray works well also!

 

I vote louver press.
