      I'm not sure if the earthquakes were supposed to begin at 6 pm the 20th or the 21st. Either way, both those days have passed by now without the predicted earthquakes. . .

  9. can someone send me a private message on how to reupholster a motorcycle seat.

  10. As far as making the laptop case I would use like a 2-3 oz veg tan leather. You can tool and dye and whatever else you want to do on it. To make is waterproof, first of all, make sure you dont have any large gaps. Then take all your parts (before sewing them, after tooling and dying) and put one even yer of Kiwi Camp Dry Mink oil, The spray on one even layer of Kiwi Camp dry Performance Fabric Protector. Link to Kiwi The cool part about the Kiwi camp dry Performance Fabric Protector is that if you are out in the woods, going through bushes and trees and the Kiwi gets scratched off, you can just spray more on. Its is also a clear product so yo can put it on all of your leather products that you want to be waterproofed and it wont change the color.
  11. Jimbob, Thanks so much! That simple response helped me alot. So did the link. God bless!
  12. leaving to go to the rodeo! yeeeehaaa!

  13. You asked how to make the belt loops flow better into the hole punches. What I do: 1. Punch the holes. 2. Use a straight edge to mark the cut line. 3. Use a razor knife and start at one hole and cut on the line halfway on both sides, turn the project around, and cut the remainder of the line on both sides. 4. Use a dremel sanding bit to smooth out the inside of the slot. 5. Use a burnisher with water, then a burnisher with gum tragacanth.
  14. Rodeo this weekend! Can't Wait!

  15. Im looking for D-rings, metal keepers, and possibly chains.
  16. First off... Great job overall! On the belt slots you could've made the straight lines flow into the hole punches better. Also. just curious what type of dye you used? Again, good job.
  17. Hey Guys, Anyone know where i can get hardware for dog collars. Thanks in advance.
  18. Hey Guys, Ive just been curious about re-upholtering all the leather on a 2004 Suzuki GZ-250. I don't know if it's difficult on this specific model or if it's hard to re-upholster in general, but any feedback would help. If you could post pictures of your own re-upholstery work, or your own seats it would help alot. Thanks in advance.
  19. Just wanted to bump this topic up to see if I could get any more ideas. Thanks in advance.
  20. I think that would be worth the trip. I go to the FM1960 & I-45 Location.
