  1. Just how I expected it to be....PERFECT!
  2. You could have done worse! You're right about problems getting it to fit when wet forming. If you notice making an exact pattern of the pan and adding to it doesn't work well. If the pan has a deep rise you have excess in length because of the bend but you need excess on the widest area of the pan. I don't know if there is an exact formula for a perfect fit every time. I always make mine slightly larger and cut excess away. There are a few threads on here that may be able to help you. Good luck with the next one.
  3. Looks great Leatheroo!
  4. WOW, WOW, WOW !!!
  5. Very nice looking! I like the 2 tone look.
  6. Very nice work! Thanks for posting photos and forum. Lots of nice detail on the seat!
  7. Spinner, It's a Shutterstock image I found surfing online. Some sculls can be elaborate and I was looking for a more simpler image. I just added the flames. I'm going to change the flames somewhat. I think I'll bring them up around the sides of the scull a little bit . .
  8. Good idea Jimbob! I'll think about some colored lacing... This seat is for my website. It won't go on a bike.
  9. Seat in progress!
  10. Letters are hand cut. Couldn't find stencils for this type of lettering. Very intimidating centering the phrase just right with odd amounts of letters. Fun but glad it's done.
  11. Just Beautiful work!! What is Cobra Class 4??
  12. Used pre-dyed black leather from Wickett and Craig. Black 3/16" lace from Y-Knot.
  13. Hey that's great that you were able to get your grandfathers tools! I see your last one looks the best. Are you sure you're using the right tool for beveling? It doesn't look quite right. Using your stamps more evenly will make your work look better. Your leather might have been too wet too when you tooled. Get ahold of some instruction books from Tandy or Ebay. They will be informative. Practice makes perfect.
  14. I do agree about the scrolling photos (somewhat uncontrollable). The graphics are fine and very thorough descriptions. I was able to navigate from page to page fast though. I don't know if I'd change much.
  15. I like!! Nice!
  16. I prefer a plastic shovel. It's lighter weight (quieter too) and if you have alot to shovel it's easier on the back. Here in Indiana we've had a few bad snow storms here and there so I'm used to shoveling. I'm hoping I won't have to get mine out too much this winter.
  17. Ewww! I don't know about getting the smell out but, of course lets ask the woman to do the dirty job!! Typical!
  18. Wow, beautiful!
  19. Very nice... I went to your web site to look. I see you sell split rivets. How are split rivets used? I don't know how they work or anything about them. Thanks
  20. I like!! Show us the finished product too. Thanks
  21. Whether a prop or an actual agency badge they sure look IMPRESSIVE! Nice looking. And congratulations on the big order.
  22. Very nice, the red and black look real nice together too!
  23. Umm, I'll take the gold colored ladies jacket and the log cabin please!! Nice stuff.
  24. David, I like your newly updated website! Just went to it. Nice.
  25. Thanks Wizcrafts for the information on linen thread. I needed that. Thanks for asking about linen JimC!
