Hello Friends
After some lovely feedback on day one from someone who insists that talking about upholstery tools is not geeky at all...here's day 2..
The Webbing Strainer
The Webbing Strainer is used to make sure the webbing attached to the base of the seat is firm and will take the pressure of thousands of bottoms over its lifetime. They are usually made from a good quality beech, 20mm thick with a 16mm diameter dowel peg.
I tried to import a video from by the lovely Joan Milton from J A Milton Upholstery Supplies to show you how the web strainer is used but I can't seem to make it work so here's the link: How to use a Webbing Strainer
It's not a particularly dangerous tool - unless you bop someone on the head with it.
Tomorrow....The Ripping Chisel..now that sounds very dangerous.
