Hello gang,

Back when I was working on the upholstery for the Miata seats I was on a prowl for a good upholstery forum, like this. A place to discuss the specifics and miscellaneous art of upholstery. I found nothing, zip, nada. It's important for any community of enthusiasts, hobbiests and professionals to have a good forum for discussion and idea sharing. Again, just like this site.

So last week I took matters into my own hands and purchased Upholstery Forums - Index. With the very kind permission of Warren he's allowed me to put up this link to tell you all about the site. I will also be adding a link back to Euro-Nova to hopefully get more people interested in our cars as well.

As of now, it's completely empty. I haven't added any content to it yet other than a basic layout with various board topics. I am interested in everyone's feedback on the topics I have added and open to suggestions for more topics. The intention of the site is for Auto, Boat/Marine and Home Furniture upholsters to gather and discuss/share ideas, tips and tricks, video's etc.

If you know of anyone that is an enthusiast, hobbiest or professional upholsterer, I would consider it a HUGE favor if you let them know about the site.

Once again, Thank you all for your contributions to THIS site and my work on the Sterling.

*yipes* oh... Nic.... I'm sorry...

My Community - Index
Professional Upholstery & Soft Furnishings Group - Index
Auto Upholstery - Auto Restoration & Technical Advice - Car Craft Forums at Car Craft Magazine
Upholstery - Fiberglass Forums
Upholstery & Insulation Forum Sponsored by Second Skin - FFCars.com : Factory Five Racing Discussion Forum

and those were just two pages in on a Bing search... they aren't exactly like this forum, but I'd imagine there is some good information floating in those. I haven't personally looked through them, I'm just judging from the post titles. I applaud you trying to get one under one site, though.. I will keep my eyes open for contributors!

Hey Rick,

Yeah, I knew there were other sites out there that had upholstery forums on them, but no site dedicated to it. That's what I was/am trying to do I guess. We'll see what happens though.

Hey thanks guys! I know for myself, the upholstery part of this project is terrifying! Both price for the materials, and getting it "done right" the first time.

Hopefully, i can learn enough to get a handle on some tricks of the trade here.*thumbs up*

Hey Nic,
I just tried to register through email like it says to do, and I got an error message returned on the email.

Hi guys,

Sorry about all the problems. I had set the site up with auto register, but ended up with almost 100 spam accounts created. I'm working on getting the admin@upholsteryforums.com email address working.

In fact, it should be working now!
