Members bustedlifter Posted July 28, 2009 Members Report Posted July 28, 2009 The other guy wanted a praying hands seat.... I thought cool, I can get into that...it is a great classic tattoo design.... then he tells me he wants FTW above the hands.... I told him no, that was objectionable on many levels... THEN he trys to blow smoke at me and tell me that it means Forever Two Wheels! He must have thought I fell off the turnip truck yesterday.David Theobald I hear ya Dave but FTW could also stand for Forsake the World, like it says in the Bible. I have a customer I made a seat ,a tool bag and in the process of making another seat for, who wants a fender bib that reads 'Suffer Bitch'. I'm trying to steer him in a different direction on that one. The wife and I have to get another camera,our 3 yr.old son did our old one in a while back, as I have made quite a few things and have No pics of them. Quote

Hey Busted, FTW COULD stand for a lot of different things, but in biker lingo, the meaning is pretty clear. I did offer to tool the Forever Two Wheels on the seat...but just not the FTW because of the usual biker meaning. He wasn't having any of that. Good luck with getting the camera. Any specific camera in mind? Dave Edited July 28, 2009 by David Quote

Members harleyguy Posted March 7, 2010 Members Report Posted March 7, 2010 Dave, sorry for the late post but I am new here. I love the seat and your ethics. God Bless! What weight leather are you using on your seats? Thanks and keep up the good work. Harleyguy Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted March 8, 2010 Contributing Member Report Posted March 8, 2010 I agree wholeheartedly with what an artist puts on his or her creations, if objectionable to me I will not do it either. If someone really wants that kind of stuff they need to make it themselves. Good for you for sticking to your convictions it is a very difficult thing to do. I do not do the Ogden street fair any longer due to the organizers telling me I could not display anything for sale that had any religious references of any kind. They said it was because if they allowed it, all the "crazies" would demand equal time. Your leather work is exceptional as usual, but I haven't seen anything of late? Taking a break? Jordan Quote
Members TroyS Posted March 10, 2010 Members Report Posted March 10, 2010 Dave, That seat is fantastic! The colors are incredible and I know from experience, it's NOT easy getting all those colors to shine through like you've done! Hats off to you! Quote Troy
Members harleysue Posted March 20, 2010 Members Report Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) Here is the latest heading out the the customer some time this week. Dave Theobald Great work as usual David... We have been watching this site for some time now... and we are so impressed at the work we have seen on this site... David your work is simply amazing. Have a question for you though? The wood plank that you use... well it looks like wood... the one that you show after the work has been tooled... Do you tape your work to this board to keep it flat while it is drying to keep the shape ??? just curious !!! Anyway!!! amazing work again... you are one of the ones who has really inspired us to work on leather !!! Edited March 20, 2010 by harleysue Quote Harley Sue
