Members shirleyz Posted March 25, 2008 Members Report Posted March 25, 2008 Finally got to finish this. I decided not to go with the mexican round braid on this one. ShirleyZ Quote
Contributing Member rdb Posted March 25, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted March 25, 2008 However you got the black lines on the white, and keeping the white clean is just great. The whole thing should make someone proud. Quote
ETW Grumpy Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 What braid did you decide to go with? Very nice work. Quote
Members shirleyz Posted March 25, 2008 Author Members Report Posted March 25, 2008 What braid did you decide to go with? Very nice work. I don't know the name of it. Quote
David Posted March 25, 2008 Report Posted March 25, 2008 Shirley, It looks great, do you remember where you got that braid? And what size lace did you use on it? It does a great job of covering the joint. Looks great. This one's a winner for sure, David Theobald Quote
Members Hedge Posted March 25, 2008 Members Report Posted March 25, 2008 Beautiful work Shirley! That's one to be proud of. I can see the attention to detail you put into the lacing and tooling. Ya done good! Quote

So, three forward, two back, that's it. Does that make sense? Shirley Quote
Members bustedlifter Posted March 25, 2008 Members Report Posted March 25, 2008 Great job Shirley! Somebody should send a pic of it to the Marine Corps Commandant. Quote
Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted March 25, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted March 25, 2008 Simply AWESOME Shirley, great job on that lacing. This should make someone very happy and proud to own. Ken Quote

Does that make sense? Shirley Shirley, Yeah, that makes a lot of sense....a fast round braid....I like it. Did you see the Bandidos seat after I finished it? I could have used a fast round braid on that monster. Dave Theobald Edited March 25, 2008 by David Quote

Finally found this thread! (it took me a while and search wasn't "as" helpful as I'd hoped) I read a reference to your simplified mexican braid in another post - my arthritic ole mitts are gonna love you for this tip :0) It looks like a much easier braid to revisit for tightening every few loops as well :0) Thanks Shirley!

Members TinyL Posted February 27, 2009 Members Report Posted February 27, 2009 Shirley, The seat is beautiful and the paint job is awesome. What kind of paint did you use and how did you apply it? Also what kind of sealer if any went over the top to keep the paint from rubbing off? I'd like to try paints but wonder how they will hold up. Thanks for your help. TinyL Quote
Members Sam Posted February 27, 2009 Members Report Posted February 27, 2009 Awesome...Great Job...I too am wondering about the paints and sealer. Quote
Members badjustice Posted March 12, 2009 Members Report Posted March 12, 2009 My next seat is going to be for the Leather Necks witch is a Marine bike club. I will be putting the same logo as this on it. I will post pics soon. Matt Quote
