Here's a couple recent wallets I've pounded out...haven't posted in a while, figured I'd share. The chainmaille chains are hand made by me as well. Enjoy!

Won't all fit in one...here's some more... the last one is the seat and fender bib I did for myself (finally) on the bike. Let me know what ya'll think. Gary

It's been far too long since I've been on this site...time to show off a little of what I've been up too

The party was a blast, the vendors were great, and the bikes were even better than last year! Yup, I'll be at the fair, not as a vendor though...I can't afford the vendor fees, but you can bet I'm going to try the chocolate covered bacon! Thanks for the compliment!

Copied and pasted from one of my other posts... Once I glue the foam to the pan, I make a pattern for the top piece, including hole spacing. If I'm going to use 1/4" lace, then I space the holes 1/4" apart and about the same from the edge. I then cut out a pattern for the bottom of the seat, tack the two patterns together while still on the seat. Mark your holes for the bottom piece from the holes for the top piece...it takes time but this works best for me.

Thanks! The background is chocolate brown faded into medium brown, then saddle tan. I finished with a medium brown antique paste and two coats of Pecards leather dressing.

Y'all have been a huge help. I finally decided on the Pasche VLS, got a killer deal for the brush and a compressor. Thanks again for all your feedback! Cheers! Gary

A few wallets and flasks I did for Milwaukee's Rockerbox 2009. Cheers! Gary

Here's a look at a seat I did for a Euro/Chop/Rat bike street party in Milwaukee las weekend. Was a lot of fun to do! Cheers! Gary

Thanks for the all the great info!

Couple questions for those of you who use an airbrush for your seats... 1)Single or double action? 2)High end or middle of the road? 3)What do you reccomend? Cheers! Gary

Finished it up. Thanks for lookin! Cheers! Gary

Thanks. Yeah, it's basically just a day bag for the one side. I have tools, extra pair of shades, and an extra pair of gloves in mine.

Just finished up a sportster solo bag. It's 4.5 inches deep, works out great if you remove the passenger pegs. Cheers! Gary

Been a while since I've posted. Here's a little peek at a flask I am covering. I'll post the finished product later in the week. Cheers! Gary

I just realized I never uploaded the finished product...sorry for the delay. I swear, sometimes I'd loose my head if it wasn't attached...

Thanks for the explainations, you guys rock! I will be adding a drop or 2 of detergent to my spray bottle from now on. Thanks again!

Ok, have to ask, why the baby shampoo or detergent? I re-wet all the time and don't notice any fading or problems with the burnishing...that being said, if I can get it to burnish a bit more, then I'm all for it.

Very nice!

Awesome seat! Can I ask what pan's you use for most of your seats?

Awesome David!

When I do seats this way, I do 2 coat of oil, let it dry completely, then do a second coat. When it's about 1/2 dry, I wrap it in cellophane tightly as to have no wrinkles and put it in the sun for 4-6 hours. Turns it a nice golden. Gary

Hey all- I'm looking for any information on the back side of a solo saddle bag for an 04 and up sportster. Specifically, where do your straps go and how many of them are there? I know this might be a long shot, but I'm hoping someone can snap a pic or 2 if they have one. Thanks! Gary

Looks awesome. I really like the embossed style lettering!
