  1. Will take $1250.00 if there are any takers. Offer available one more week and then on to ebay. Thank you.
  2. Wanted to mention lower 48 only.
  3. Only a few of years old. Bought a year ago from someone who hardly used it. Took it out of the box and never got to mess with it. In excellent condition. Comes with a lot of extras which would cost over $450 if bought individually. This is what will come in the original box: -left presser foot, right presser foot, center,presser foot fleece and padded material foot -extra bobbins -stirrup attachment -flat bed attachment -material guide attachment -dvd and downloaded instruction manual Looking for $1300 including shipping. All inquiries can be sent to CLCustoms@gmail.com Thanks, Chris
  4. That turned out wonderfully Tina. The natural color of the leather is a perfect foil for the bright colors of the feather.
  5. I find contact paper to be very effective and you can cover a large area very quickly.
  6. harleysue i think the seat looks fantastic. your lacing is tight and impeccable. the wet molding job looks great also. those types of seats are a bear to do, but well worth the effort once you get over the hand cramping. the design is, well it is what it is. we've all had our share of skulls to do , and even if it isn't our most favorite thing, it is always good to have one in your repetoire because it comes up time and again in this market. one comment though, and that is i would try to work in some shading with your acrylics to give the piece more depth. if you had some lights and darks in the dragon's scales it would definitely give it more dimension. i think that would be something to look to do on your next piece if you work with acrylics again. a job well done though! Chris
  7. I haven't done any but if you search on youtube, I think there are vids of how to do it. I believe you need to do it as an inset, cutting the foam out so the gel pad rests in the inset and is level with the rest of the foam. There also might be pix tutorials on the web if you do a search on gel seats for bikes. Good luck. Chris
  8. Hey Jimbob, your wetmolding is spot on and i like the different lacing. it's cool. Your designs are pretty neat for the good ol' skulls and flames. One critique I have is that I think you can carve deeper into the leather. Then when you bevel the difference between the raised leather and the beveled parts will be more prominent and more "3D". Other than that, great job! Chris
  9. It's hard to see in the picture Shaky, but the foam looks very deteriorated. That aside, it depends how you want to cover it and with what. What kind of leather do you want to cover it with? Do you want to reupholster it or cover with veg tan? Chris
  10. I love your lacing. It's so much different than just a regular "x". Your wet molding is impeccable also. I think these type of seats are the most challenging to do vs. regular pan seats. It's very clean and neat. What ounce leather did you use and how did you go about making the pattern for the sides? I always find that the most difficult to do. I hate to waste leather but I always leave alot to cut off because it's safer to trim than to be short. It's a lovely piece of construction. Chris
