Second seat of the week finished - Smith and Wesson

[Ian]

This one was a bit more fun to make, and a lot less work. I wish I got more of these jobs

Once again, I ran short of lace. I dyed 7 x 30inch lengths, and sure as heck, I was 3 holes short of finishing the braid. Thank goodness I had a tiny bit of the original dye mix left over.

2nd one this week...what have you got, a pile of elves that work while you sleep?

Great job. I like this one better than the other one, although the other one must have been way more work. I'll bet this bike looks better too.

Thanks Dave. Two a week isn't that unusual, but the usual seat job I get is basically just a seat recovering job, sometimes reshaping the foam or putting a gel insert in, but believe it or not, between making the pattern (I never use the original cover as a pattern anymore) and the rest, they are usually as time consuming as the more artistic ones. Still, work is work.

Try buying the pre dyed kangaroo lace..... If you are still using that calfskin lace from Tandy, treat yourself the the real deal.... you may have to hike seat prices a couple bucks, but it is worth it for you and the customer.

Obviously I'm a latecomer to this thread, but I couldn't miss the opportunity to give congrats on a fantastic seat.
