KliffsKustomHouse Report post Posted May 25, 2009 Here's some pics of a seat I recently completed for Slice n Dice Kustoms. Thanks to all the great info I've picked up here on the forum... it's a vast improvement on my last effort. I used an airbrush to apply the dye this time and it worked out great. Definately gave me more control over the colour and allowed me to build a slight blend into it... especially on the bottom. I used stainless rivets this time too which look much nicer and I worked the antique a lot faster wiping it off straight away and reworking any areas that I thought needed more contrast. Was a fun seat to make. I think I'm slowing working out a few things that work for me. Thanks for checking it out. Would love any creative criticism... wanna learn as much as I can so I can make the next seat better than the last. Cheers, Kliff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
halfbreed Report post Posted May 25, 2009 That is awesome! A really nice job. What size lace is that? It looks to be a perfect size for the project. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McJeep Report post Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) Okay, I give up - how on earth do you seat makers feed the lace back through (between leather and foam) when you're braiding them together? I have a hard enough time when I'm doing something that I have access to the backside of? (scratching head) LOL Beauty work guy - diggin on the skull and lettering Edited May 25, 2009 by McJeep Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KliffsKustomHouse Report post Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) The lacing is 4.7mm kangaroo. I use a flat lacing needle, bend it a little with some pliers and she goes through pretty sweet. I do use those pliers to reef it through sometimes on the holes that already have had one pass of lace through them though. I dig lacing. It's like meditation for me. Thanks for the kind words too.
