Roger Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 went back to my usual leather this time and no problem. lacing time was down from nine hours to about six. i have a the matching p-pad and backrest to do next. Quote
Contributing Member rdb Posted January 11, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted January 11, 2008 Simple, and beautiful. Good color, nice job of dyeing. Lace is tight. Wish I had a chance to do one, but I'm not in the crowd any longer. After $600 Basket cases, they lost me...lol Quote Web page Facebook

Roger Posted January 11, 2008 Author Report Posted January 11, 2008 thanks guys! the lace is 3/16" Florentine Lace. i like the way it's beveled. i did think about cutting my own roo but really like the bevel of the florentine lace. the dye job is fade from black to dark brown to saddle tan Quote
Grunt Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 WOW!! That seat is AWESOME!! I can't wait to see the rest of the set. Regards, Nick Quote
Drac Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 shazam! that's some serious lacing! mighty impressive! think I would've ended up hurting somebody if I tried doing that. Quote frissenfrassenmussafrussen...

That would be an alternitive for me with my pad I am screwing up.... nope! i used the pad. it's fairly stiff padding. i alway fight with smaller p-pads and backrests. there is much less room for error but, not this time! i started to cover it the way i normally would and took it off cause it wasn't going to fit right and came up with this one. i was very happy with the result. i'll post what ever pics i have tonight Quote
Roger Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Posted January 15, 2008 here are a couple shots of the p-pad in process. i used the backrest since it was rather firm. Quote
Contributing Member wolvenstien Posted January 16, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted January 16, 2008 When you wet it to stretch it, did you soak it then stretch it, or let it go back to normal color first before stretching? Did you start stretching from the bottom part and staple it then stretch it around? or did you stretch it all at once stapling last?

Roger Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Posted January 16, 2008 i wet it in the sink with warm water and went to it. i laid it over the pad and started stapling and smoothed it a bit with my hands as i went. then smoothed it some more once it was all stapled down Quote
