Fix

Nice work on the seat. When I read the title I was trying to figure out what kind of bike a 1915 45K25 was. I'm not the brightest bulb.

Thanks very much for the replies! I'll check out that link today.

Thor, Thanks for the reply. I'm still working on the design, right now it's just kind of a concept. But here's the idea.

Hello all, I've found some other threads about what tools to start with as a beginner, but they weren't specific to what I'd like to do. So, if you'll pardon the possible repeat questions... I want to tool and stitch up a motorcycle seat. I'd also like to make (and tool) a matching tool roll. Down the line, I'd love to also make (and tool) a set of saddle bags. First things first will be the seat project. The tooling I'm interested in doing (for these particular pieces) is not picture realism or fancy sheridan or western patterns. It's fairly basic. Some scroll/banners with lettering in them. Almost a logo, kind of. The only thing I currently have is a 2' x 2' x 1" piece of granite. I know I'll need at least: A mallet or maul A swivel knife Stamps for shading, bevelling, matting, etc. Dyes and some sort of sealers There is a Tandy Leather located about an hour from me, so that is an option Can anyone recommend a starter kit, or exactly what I should be looking for? I understand this is not going to be cheap, but I would like to save as much money as I can. Much Appreciated!
