David Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Beeze, Great looking job. You've got it all, traditional carving, inverted carving, and ample use of undercuts and the lifter. I like it. Dave Quote
Members bustedlifter Posted February 20, 2008 Members Report Posted February 20, 2008 Looks great, now dye it black! Doesn't it make you want to go upside someone's head when they want it black. Quote
Members shirleyz Posted February 20, 2008 Members Report Posted February 20, 2008 Beautiful Beeza. You nailed it. The tooling is awesome. Shirley Quote badassseats As long as I have a want, I have a reason for living. Satisfaction is death. ~George Bernard Shaw
Members Bighearn Posted February 20, 2008 Members Report Posted February 20, 2008 Man I got to do a seat for my Heritage. If you don't mind a question do you build your own seat pans or do you use what people bring you. I looked last night for something on the internet but could not find a solo seat pan for a 97 softail. I got the original one but I hate to rip it apart in case I ever sell its going back on. I kinda like the lepera shape or the ultima you know slim and clean but I cant find anything on the net just two ups. Any ways just asking not thinkiing of going in the business just would like to try my own you know. Quote
Members krains Posted February 20, 2008 Members Report Posted February 20, 2008 great job! are you using an undercut beveler on some places or just really banging on a normal beveler? Quote I'm what Willis was talkin 'bout! --------------------------------------------------- - Kevin
Roger Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Posted February 22, 2008 WOW! thanks for all the compliments and comments!!!! the seat will be black and the tooling will stay close to natural. i may dye it saddle tan...

Thanks I have been wanting to for about a year but just have not been able to find a seat pan I like. I am going to find one though and I would have quite a few questions. One of those things you just dont want to mees up, get it right and take your time on. I have the pattern I want but have to find the seat pan. I'll find one soon and then I'll get with you. My main concern is the sticthing and fitting more than tooling. Quote
Roger Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Posted February 24, 2008 Done!!! man my fingers are sore Quote

JohnD Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 WOW, Roger. That's crazy. That is awesome! Is that your own design? When I first joined this forum, I remember seeing your work and thinking it was great. I didn't realize there was room for improvement but you apparently made room for it cause that is F@#$%N amazing. I hope that doesn't sound backhanded. Your tooling is incredible.
