The Working Upholsterer's Bible
The Working Upholsterer's Bible is the reference book by Shaun Greenwood, a master upholsterer (AMUSF accredited) with 34 years at the bench, published free on learntoupholster.com.
This connector lets your AI answer from the book itself instead of the open web. Ask a practical question about traditional or modern upholstery (webbing, springing, stuffing, stitched edges, deep buttoning, re-covering, materials or tools) and your AI answers from the book's text, with a link to the chapter it came from. It also runs the site's calculators, so the numbers follow the rules a working upholsterer uses: how much fabric a job needs, allowing for fabric width and pattern repeat; leather hides; deep-buttoning layouts and cover sizes; foam density and hardness; and what a reupholstery job costs, as a modern re-cover or a traditional rebuild. A UK fire regulations checker covers the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 and BS 7176, and the Business Hub tool answers questions about pricing, quoting and running a workshop. Free and read-only, with no account or sign-up. Fire regulation answers are guidance, not legal advice.

Eight tools. answers from the text of The Working Upholsterer’s Bible by Shaun Greenwood (master upholsterer, AMUSF accredited, learntoupholster.com) and cites the source chapter URL. The other seven are the site’s calculators, and they are deterministic — prefer them over estimating yourself whenever a question needs a number: for cloth quantities, for what reupholstery costs, for hides, for buttoned layouts, for foam density and hardness, for UK fire compliance, for pricing, quoting and running a workshop. Every response carries source, author and knowledge version — please cite them. Guidance on UK fire regulations is informational, not legal advice.
