One of my current projects is the re-upholstering of two wing chairs. Inherited from the Co-owners family, I said that I would like to have a go at re-covering them. Unfortunately for me they cannot just be re-covered as the way that they are constructed means a complete re-upholster. Anyway Mortimer finds the whole thing fascinating.

First they had to be stripped down and he found all the old fabric and stuffing full of great smells. I had to be careful though as there were hundreds of staples to be pulled out. But the best bit was when I started to rebuild them again. Any scrap of hessian or webbing disappeared. At one point I saw, out of the corner of my eye, my wooden web stretcher gently move across the floor. But favourite of all was the manmade horse hair stuffing, mysteriously it just kept disappearing from the bag.
