ufo Report post Posted September 1, 2009 hello all, another uk member here, my name is steve and I live down on the south coast, I am in to motorcycles and particularly building them...I wanted a brown leather hand tooled seat on the chop that I am building so I purchased one from ebay, when it turned up it was black vinyl with a pattern stitched into it (I dont think it was just the seat that was stitched) the guy would not refund my money so I have decided to have a go at learning leather tooling/crafting and make my own....i allready do my own airbrushing and fabricate/machine my bits for my bikes so this would be very usefull, this looks like a very usefull forum with a lot of knowlege on it so I hope you can help me on leather working journey... steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TTcustom Report post Posted September 3, 2009 (edited) Sorry to hear about your unfortunate encounter with a shady Ebayer. You're in the right place to get going on a leatherworking jouney. There has been a couple of amazing bike seats on here. Almost too nice to sit on and cover up! Edited September 3, 2009 by TTcustom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OdinUK Report post Posted September 8, 2009 Thats very nice work. Shame your wife didnt like it, Its a nice job. Here is a picture of my fuel tank, I didn't paint it, I paid someone to do it as I've never tried airbrushing, yet... Its since been signed by a couple of the band members and the tank was re-laquered a few times after being rubbed down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
