Reading this is Amazing and time travel experience of being with an artisan top man. I once worked for a short time with a Polish upholsterer in Berlin. I was only 21 years old and from suburban Seattle so I didn't have the patience to be with him long, but it was a bit like this except hands on. Lots of respect for you sir.

Would it be possible to put this into a "how to" sticky? Would be nice to make it easier to find in the future. This is a great post, thanks for doing this.

Yes, appears he just left us…perhaps he took a sabbatical? Hope he returns.
