Fresh covers on some well used gym equipment.

This was an amazing Kijiji buy. It was in great shape other than the cheep vinyl on the top. Stripped that off and reupholstered in a distressed leather look. Not sure if it's staying here, going to the cabin or being listed again on Kijiji

Nice to get a job that's a bit different. This is a 1981 Harley Davidson Servicar. It's being prepped for the upcoming World of Wheels show. The box cover is made of a heavy fiberglass reinforced vinyl that won't shrink or fade over time.

This was a test to see if I could fix a chairback. the first pic shows the damage and the others show the repair. I inverted the back and did the repair on the backside where it wouldn't be as obvious. should get a few more years out it. The old Singer pounded through it like a champ!

back in the gym... sorta. New shoulder pads on the squat machine will make the clients happy. Fast service makes the owner happy too.

Getting a new amp? keep it protected and looking great for years. Sized right! Priced right!

a new seat cushion for a well loved salon chair. Does your stylist need my help?

lots of bar stools rolling through the shop this week. The frames are very strong so it makes sense to re-cover the seats. Doing a few at a time lets the customer spread the cost out.

the first two of 50? The local pub and eatery is freshening up the bar stools. Wonder if the regulars will notice?

think I'll stay in tomorrow

Making heavy fiberglass reinforced vinyl covers for a PA system. These will add protection for years to come.

didn't get a "before" pic but just delivered new seat sections for these two club chairs.

the new one is actually original colour. More restaurant seating being freshened up. Vinyls will darken and harden over time and heavy use.

Cleaning up some restaurant seating this week. Customers notice when owners re-invest in their stores.

you can't see it but this is a very cool Fender Blues Jr, stereo rig that Chris Dunn built. The covers will keep the new tolex looking great.

making some amp covers this week. This was for a very nice Vox AC15. More pics to come

are you tired of having your gear being scarred by life on the road. I make custom covers for all your equipment. Your amp will thank you!

one for the best hair stylist mom ever had. just freshened up the back, seat and armrests. should go another 20 years.

some used gym equipment is getting a new, fresh look.

Doing lots of work for chiropractors. Dr. Steve was very happy to have his equipment re-upholstered. 3 more just like on the schedule.

testing the welting foot on my machine. made my shop stool a bit more comfortable and used up some scraps of denim I had.

Happy with how these are turning out. They even have that "new-car" smell.

does your chiropractor need his/her tables re-covered? These will be back in place within 24 hours.

one done... 7 to go.

These are winter winch covers for a sailboat. They're made of Sunbrella fabric so they'll last a long time without fading and protect the expensive winches from rain, sun and snow. Sunbrella is awesome when made into covers for padded deck furniture too.

A few more before and after pics. These are pads used on gym equipment. The club will get these back tomorrow. Fast turnaround keeps the equipment in use and Members happy.

Before and after. Freshening up some gym equipment for a client. Its always good to show your members you care.
