  1. Very good job, coloring is outstanding. David
  2. In the pattern forum at the top is a pinned tutorial by citizen Kate. It has a PDF file with a pattern for a biker wallet. Hope this helps David
  3. Very nice, great design and craftsmanship. David
  4. Chancey what about a late model super glide? David
  5. I have found Air brushing to be pretty much the same on any materials, leather or metal just different paints or dyes depending what they are being sprayed on. Air sick has some good online tutorials on basic airbrushing, from basic operation to doing skulls and such. Doing things like basic color fading or darkening on leather would be done with dyes. You just thin them to get the desired color. How easy it is to do would depend on the air brush. Smaller needles would allow finer detail work but they will also clog easier. I have a harbor freight special that I use for general dying and finish work it and it works fine for me. You just have to play with it to figure out what pressures work best for different things. There are some much more talented people here that do very fine detail work that can give better answers on this than me. Hope this helps some. David
  6. Go to the "how do I do that section" and it is the 2nd or 3rd pinned post from the top. David
  7. Welcome to the forum. David
  8. Came out very nice Dennis. Thanks for posting it. David
  9. It would all be stitched together, Masonite would just be the stiffener. Page 50 volume 2. The leather corners would be mitered and stitched. David
  10. Very nice as usual. That lace goes great with the seat. David
  11. Nice work, the 3 piece front does really change the whole look of it. David
  12. Look in the Stohlman art of making leather cases volume 2. It has several different ways to do cases with pictures and instructions. David
  13. On the ends you have the two pieces layered stitched and riveted. I was wondering if those were to make it look nice or to help support something. Looks nice either way and I was just curious. David
  14. What's on the inside? Looks really sharp, tooling is good and I like the design. Are the end pieces just to look good or are they structural? Either way they add to the design. Good job thanks for posting it. David
  15. Nice work. Thanks for posting them. David
  16. Look at harbor freight. I got mine for under 20usd. If you have a shop air compressor just regulate the pressure down to what you want or you can get a complete kit with compressor from them also. If you have never used an air brush this will do basic finishes and dyes. This a tool like any other, better with more frills cost more money. There are a lot more experienced people on here than me that can probably go into more detail about them. I just do occasional work with it usually fading colors on dyes or spraying finishes with it. Hope this helps. David I just looked at your attachment, it doesn't look bad for a gravity feed with different needles but I don't know anything about that brand.
  17. Looks nice Tim, bet it looks great on the bike. David
