Members rickeyfro Posted June 19, 2009 Members Report Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) I got this pan on Ebay cheap, and had a good size Burgundy stingray laying around, this is what I ended up with. My shop is Fluer de lis customs, but since I had some scrap instead of a makers mark I did the inlay on the back Edited June 19, 2009 by rickeyfro Quote
Members rustyriggin Posted June 19, 2009 Members Report Posted June 19, 2009 WOW,thats really nice!! Now you have to make some chaps with a full butt, so you can protect the seat of your pants. One thing about it, that seat will last longer than the bike. Quote "A horse is someone who can see the truth in you even when you are fooling everyone else."

Members ericluther Posted June 19, 2009 Members Report Posted June 19, 2009 Hey Eric,All my swivel knife work is done done with the same blade. I use only the 3/16" angle blades by Tandy. You will find that they are currently rather hard to find. I think it is because of a mistake in their catalog, which they will correct at some time.

Dags3777 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 Beautiful piece of work, is there a book, to learn how to do the differant types of braiding. I'd like to give the braiding a go.

Roger Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 man you have one heck of a lot of lacing in that little seat! well done Quote
Contributing Member UKRay Posted June 20, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted June 20, 2009 Got any good tips for sewing Stingray? It looks like it would blunt any needle you showed it to.

Also had trouble finding Burgundy thread in 207 or 277 all I could find was weaker thread, any of ya'll try dying white thread colors? Quote
