    Can you explain why you coated the cane in Tung Oil please? I am in the UK and hand weave cane for a living. Split rattan needs to breath and have the ability to absorb moisture which it can't do if coated in oils or varnish. However, even though I've been caning for 40 years, I am watching your video because I've never done pressed cane before so I'm wondering if the tung oil has a purpose?

    • @Buckminsterupholstery
      @Buckminsterupholstery 5 дней назад

      I used tung oil to enhance the color. I had never heard not to use finishes. I differ with you on this. Lots of manufactured furniture has a finish going back 100+ years. Lots of present-day furniture has a tinted lacquer finish. Wicker furniture has a finish, some painted.

    @onlyliberty2689 Месяц назад

    The strap should be made different, without seeing this cut "white" sideline. in Europe (Netherlands) it´s nicely wrapped from both sites. Also we would fist put 1-2 cm hardfoam (polypress) on the seat-base, and after that 3 cm polyether-foam, this way you never feel anything from the hard coilstrings. BUT: The seat looks nice, good job !

    • @Buckminsterupholstery
      @Buckminsterupholstery Месяц назад

      I was unhappy with the white line and corrected it on straps since. That said, from viewing angles once the seat is on the bike and on the ground, it's not noticeable. As for your foam suggestions, I followed suit as closely as possible from the original construction without modifications.

    Hello. I have two chairs that I would like to redo with a very low profile seat, like these. They don't have the tin parts (they were webbed in the past), so I don't know if I should make some out of tin or if there is a more commonly used material (like thin plywood ?) that would also work. If I use webbing, then the layers of stuffing, then my outer fabric, I can't figure out what I attach the fabric to if there is nothing to wrap around as you did with the tin seat. Initially the chairs had a very thin leather and then they were nailed all wround, with the nails very close to eachother. The wood on my chairs is pretty beat up from all those nails, so I worry about how well the nails can hold. Having a new ;layer of something thin, like the tin or thin wood, seems like it might help. Thank you!

    • @Buckminsterupholstery
      @Buckminsterupholstery Месяц назад

      These tin seats were highly unusual from my nearly 50 years experience. Sight unseen, it sounds as if your chairs originally had pressed-fiber seats, almost like cardboard with a tooled-leather embossing. For more information you can email hipster73@hotmail.com

      @@Buckminsterupholstery Thanks for the reply. Please help me identify what you are referring to as "door panels" so I can get some of that material. As I said, this visor is simply a "flat stock framework that we needed to modify to make fit properly when we received it (many years ago) so there is no place provided for a tack strip. I would assume you would add the tack strip somewhere on the piece that screws up under the roof header piece ???
