A buddy of mine calls me last Tuesday and says he's sending a seat pan for a bike he's putting in a show early next month. The artwork is with it and he needs it back by next Friday at the latest. I received it on Thursday and shipped it back to him yesterday afternoon. The last seat I covered for him was for a BSA he built and it won the semi-pro class at this show 2 years ago.He was invited to the Top 50 Builders show at Sturgis last year.

Beautiful work. I like how you take advantage of the beveling halo for modeling purposes in the eyes.

Thanks, the eyes were open a lot more on the original art, I thought it would look better slightly open. I changed the moustache and added the goatee, also.

Definetly a hot item!

Unique and nice motif and the border is really nice and should appeal to the biker scene I think.

Did you come up with the border yourself?

Good luck to your both!

Thanks everyone. Tom, the basic border design was with the art he sent, I just embelished it a little.

ShirleyZ,there's a Razor scooter innertube in it in the widest part and 3 layers of my wifes old yoga mat take up the slack in the front.

Here's a bottom view;bottom.jpg

Hey Bustedlifter,

Can you show a pic of the Razor scooter Innertube? I know you have mentioned it before and I still don't get how it fits inside. :huh:

Sure, check it outDSCF1257.JPGDSCF1259.JPG I bend my pans with a kind of flat spot on the bottom of the curve, that's where I put the tube.

Hey guy,

Great tooling on the seat. You've done a great job on it. Way to work under pressure too. Gotta love those deadlines.

Thanks Dave! I ditched my BK beveler and used my old Craftool on this one. The thing is he got a hold of me a couple months ago to cover a seat, then I didn't hear from him again until last week. No problemo!
