how hard can it be



I am thinking of making a bedhead, I have a shed and it has a hammer and nails in it, all I need now is The Idiot's Guide to Upholstery. This the style I have in mind, note there are no curvy bits.

  2. Hi Judy, I did Upholstery for a few Years and the Best tool is an Electric Staple Gunn. Mine was a Black and Decker and It makes all the difference . You could always track down some Tacks and a special little Hammer with a magnet in the Head together with a Tack elevator. I don't recomend Nails. Good Luck
