1.1 Before You Begin

The first step in upholstery is collecting all the tools you will need to complete step 1 (deconstruction) 

Because many people who want to recover a single piece in their home are doing so as not to have to spend a ton of money to get what they want, I am giving you 2 toolbox lists for every step (and a full compiled list later on...). One toolbox list will consist of things I had lying around my house when I did my first chair, or necessities that are on the inexpensive side (i.e. a $20 staple gun + hammer). I will also highlight my favorite tool for each step to give you a better idea of where to spend your money if you choose to do so.
Around the House Toolbox:
 
Multi-tool/Leatherman
Pliers/Vice Grip
Wire Clippers
Gloves (Safety First!)
Hammer
Notebook
Pen/Pencil
Camera

Sharpie
Pro Toolbox:
Osborne Staple Lifter (Favorite!)
Tack remover
Pliers/Vice Grip/Webbing Pliers
Side Pliers
Gloves (Safety First!)
Notebook
Pen/Pencil
Camera
Sharpie

It is also great to have a friend help with the teardown

Note: In most of the tutorials I will be using a chair, but the same basic principals apply for most everything (from headboards to ottomans to couches)

These are probably the most thrilling, biggest jackpots rising properly into the tens of millions, and are the toughest to hit. On June 9, Lumiere Place shared its findings with the Missouri Gaming Commission, which in turn issued a statewide alert. Several casinos quickly discovered that they'd been cheated the same means, although usually by totally different men than the one who’d bilked Lumiere Place. In each instance, the perpetrator held thecasinosource.com a cellphone close to an Aristocrat Mark VI model slot machine shortly earlier than a run of excellent fortune.
