Dave, You do really great work. This is a good inspiration. My son wants me to make a seat for his bike and this helps me get motivated.

[David]

I'm glad this provides information and inspiration to people. That is why it is here. I hope you continue to enjoy it.

Thanks for looking at it.

Let me know if you have questions or critiques.

Always love hearing from everyone.

Today I finished the Phoenix and one of the koi fish and all of the remaining flowers.

So I hope to finish the carving tomorrow.  That could be pretty ambitious as I know that Thanksgiving company arrives tomorrow.

Let me know what you think and feel free to ask questions.

Hi Dave, can you tell us how you keep the punched holes in a straight line as I cant see any reference line around the edge! Is it underneath?

V ery inspiring work!

Thanks.

As always Dave, your attention to detail is outstanding! Truly a work of art!

Odin, Good question, there is no reference line, since I use this seat pan frequently, I have a pattern that locates all the holes, so they are traced onto the leathers individually.
