Wow! I really like that clock Billy. It'd really look cool in my shop. Guess I'm gonna have to do somethin like that too. Beaverslayer, what's that in american $? My daugher & son-in-law are over in Germany right now & said our U.S. dollar is about 1/2 as theirs. I hardly ever leave the yard, so exchange rates are foreign to me. outcast

Billy, it might help to know what kind of seat pan you're gonna be covering. Stock 2 up, or a solo?

Very well done Mike!

Great seats Dave. I really like your work. Steve

I usually use 5-6 oz. on top. Sometimes 6-7 oz. 3-4 oz. on the sides. All vegetable tanned leather. Hope this helps ya out. Steve

very cool!

Roger, I've never made a mask before, but I did see a video by Cheryl Smeja entitled "Free Forming and Lasting". According to Cheryl putting vegtan in any water hotter than 150 degrees will burn the leather, and shrink it. What she does is heat the water to 120-130 degrees, and adds 1/2 to 1 cup of ammonia to 5 gallons of water. The ammonia will soften the leather, make it quite mouldable, and when it dries it's hard. She just submerges the leather into the hot water until the bubbles quit. Then she has fun with the leather making really neat things. I still like your mask tho. Steve

Nice mask Roger. So, you gonna go as a cat this year? Steve

True about Tandys spirit dyes being made by Feibings. Same stuff poured into tandy bottles. Buy the Tandy packaged spirit dye cheaper than the Feibings packaged spirit dye. Same spirit dye. outcast
