Third Man Upholstery

That was quick-it's been registered on godaddy. Looks like TMR bought it up or some opportunist caught wind of this thread...

Didn't Jack talk about this in an interview when he was getting back to Upholstery, I knew about this for a while since he hinted at that so long ago.

White headed back downstairs, stepping over a blue plastic wagon, and out to the backyard to a yellow-and-black brick building with a sign on the wall that read, “It Pays to Upholster.” “This is my workshop,” he said. There were brown burlap sacks draped over some chairs, and sewing and woodworking equipment scattered on the floor.There were also some tools for welding, which White said he was getting into through his friend Bob Dylan. “I’d never done it before, and he’d been doing it for a while, so he kind of gave me the lowdown,” he said. One day the two of them were sitting on White’s front porch, just enjoying the view, when Dylan turned to him and said, “You know, Jack — I could do something about that gate.” “That would be pretty cool,” White said, laughing. “I don’t know what kind of discount I’m going to get.”

That's one example and I believe there were others.

While looking at various Third Man Upholstery stuff, this interview from 2003 popped up. In it Jack talks mostly about his early days of learning the trade and his business. Thought it was an interesting interview.

I think he talked about it in the WTF interview with Marc Maron, too. Maron was grilling him about the sofa they were sitting on and whether Jack could strip it down and reupholster it right then and there.

Ah, he mentioned that in the last Vault chat. Can't wait to see it finished.
