  1. JLSleather, the owner of that seat came to me with the request for this seat and when he told me what he wanted i looked at him and told him he didnt look like a someone whom resided in the big house! he laughed at me and said it was refering to life behind the handlebars.... it was a fun project it was my first using eyelets.

    fletch my brother was a jarhead and he had a drawing in his photobook that i took and photoshopped. send me your email and i will send you a copy!

    thanks for looking!

    Those look great!

    Former "Jarhead" myself. I am about to make a tooled piece for a sunroof cover and that Eagle Globe and Anchor look perfect. May I ask where you got that pattern from? The size and proportions look great.

    I tried to take a smaller one to a local xerox place to have it enlarged but the proportions looked very strange to my eye, unbalanced.


  2.

  3. Thanks!

    the top and bottom are glued to the pan/padding and each other then sewn.

    i just use artificial sinew (waxed) that is recommended for hand stitching, two needles, diamond point awl ect.

    the seat looks very clean and the stitch is awesome, I hope I can get that good someday.

  4. A fellow student of MMI wanted me to recover his lepera seat with flames for his bike. this is what i came up with. since im just starting I didnt know what i was getting into but i guess it turned out good.

    Stretching leather is not fun at all!!!! but i guess if you have patience and time its worth the hassle.

    tell me what you guys think, cause i want to keep getting better.

    I will post pics of the seat on his bike as soon as i get some
