My Latest custom order

[Roger]

Hey Roger,

How's business? The black rivets were still too small to use without a washer, I didn't get any yet because everyone wants me to order 10000 of them.....That would last me a lifetime.

Dave

i thought i sent you some of the larger dia rivets so you would not need the washer?

pretty sure they were 3/16" instead of 1/8" and mcmaster will sell box quantities most are 100, 250 and 500 pieces

[Roger]

forgot to add... business is picking up!

i prolly have enough to keep me busy for about two months but, we'll see.

i am finishing up that plain set (seat, p-pad and backrest) with the round braid. i'll post some pics later on.

he also wants a larger lined bag. it will take some time as i will have to figure out a template

I sure wish I had the time to do some bags, saddle and tool bags both....maybe someday.

You did send me some larger black rivets but the holes in those West Eagle seat pans will require an expanded rivet head in excess of 3/16" to prevent pull through. The ones you sent pulled through after expansion. I'll check out the source that you gave me. I like that fact that you can buy in smaller quantities, I sure don't need 10000 rivets of any size.

Thanks

Dave

Roger,

So glad to hear that business is picking up. Maintaining a 2 month backlog is just about right. Customers won't look elsewhere if they have to wait two months and you can work at your own pace.

Congrats,

Dave

Oh did you ever spring for the sewing machine?

not yet.. i found a local place but, need to stop in and talk to them. i am busy enough at the moment that i would not have time to use it.

tool bag.... i enjoy the end result but, they are much work and i really don't charge near enough to where i would want to do more

[David]

This last weekend's weather was barely warm enough to apply stain in my garage.....So I finally finished up this seat.

That one is a beaut Dave, the color is just right and really makes the seat pop. Great job as always.

Hey David,

Seeing that I've been watching you do this from start to now finish is even more of a treat. I love how this seat turned out. What color did you use for it?

[Ghostdog]

Very nice!
