Thanks red beard, I am currently stationed in Korea and do not have a stitching machine where would I look to get something like that and are they pretty expensive. I am mostly a do it yourself kind of guy but I enjoyed making the seat and tool bag very much and will continue when I return home to OK in a couple of weeks to attempt a solo bag to match. I do appreciate your feedback and will use it to attempt to get my old lady to let me spend some more money on tools. Lol
