Here is an example of the seat that I am wanting to make.
No Tooling. Open Stitch. Very similar to this, although my pan will have a slightly different shape and not quite as much of a bend to it. My question is regarding the forming. Most of the tutorials I've seen of wet forming involved forming over a very solid object (such as a knife or a pistol). The one tutorial on this site showing forming for a leather bag, used a wooden buck to form over. Will the seat padding be firm enough to wet form over directly, or will I need to make a wooden buck to form over? It would be very difficult to make a wooden buck to mimic the shape of the seat, due to the compound curves involved. Also will 7/8oz be too thick to form well? Since I will not be tooling, would I be better off using a 5/6oz?
Thanks!
