A more detailed tour of our upholstery department and production of various items, as well as our die-cutter, slitter, beading machine and dielectric embosser. You also see some of the 100s of rolls of vinyl, fabric and leather to understand how your interior is skillfully produced. DIE CUTTING MACHINE: Nearly all our upholstery pieces are cut with steel rule dies. These are very sharp steel blades & steel punches exactly located in special plywood. The tooling indicates the direction the vinyl must be in before cutting as all vinyl has a slight stretch & needs to be in the correct direction. We may use up to 12 toolings for the top of a bucket seat. The first step is to cut all the pieces for a top or bottom of a bucket or rear seat. This die not only cuts the vinyl to size but also cuts "perfs" in the vinyl to insure exact alignment for this particular seat bottom. Top piece for ’65 custom with vinyl cut outs & perfs at top BEADING OR WELTING: Most upholstery has small & large – it is produced from long, narrow pieces of the same vinyl. Our machine puts many slits every inch to allow beading to smoothly round corners. EXPLODED DIAGRAM: Our notebooks have a diagram of each upholstery piece we make so that it will be as close to factory as possible – it tells the order in which to sew the pieces, type of stitching, how much to fold under, etc., etc., etc.! This is a bucket bottom. a ~'t, ~~ -;,:;;:;:;c:~ ~--- (sf' v->f ,,.--..-f·v --,~ ;,; ,. ~-~---....,r 1 @ ~t:=~ ... / ::. ~~;._., --- ,;1-1~ ==i==r~~:___.., ~- 0 r,,,:,,,K~ |
