Starting a new seat

[David]

I started a new one this weekend for one of our returning local heros.

He is starting a '48 panhead bobber project, that should look pretty sweet when done.

Donny Loos is rebuilding the engine so it should run real good.

Looks like anuther winner comin up :0)

Can I ask what blades you use to do the tight curves you get on your carvings David? I'm just starting to pick up different blades for different aspects of carving (hollow ground for long straight cuts, angled blades for tighter turns on lettering etc to alleviate the wrinkles in the leather as I turn a bend etc.)

Thanks in advance - always love seeing your seats come along - good incentive for raising my personal bar ;0)

Hey Rob,

I do all my cutting with a 3/16" angle cut blade sold by Tandy. If I'm doing finger cutting I use a !/4" Ruby blade.

Thanks for taking a look at my post.

Exxxxxcellent - I've just started using a 3/16 angle and am impressed with how much cleaner and easier it is than the "axe" (as my tandy guy calls em ;0) was that came in the knife
