halfbreed Report post Posted April 2, 2008 David, I've used some of your pictures to help explain my questions. If that's not ok let me know and I'll cease. I really am a novice in this area. Any help I can get will be greatly appreciated. If you stacked your top and bottom pannels would the lacing holes at the perimeter of each panel line up as in photo. Would this always put the lacing near the middle of the side of the seat? For this type of seat I guess you attatch the bottom panel to the pan before you start lacing things up. If you use 1" of foam or 2" of foam how do you arive at the right demensions for your panels. I'm just guessing that the thickness of foam would determine how far away the lacing holes are from the outline of the pan??????? Just how much tension are you puting on the lacing to pull the two peices, top and bottom, together. Is it alot or are you just bringing them to gether with a slight tension on the foam. Does this allow better or easier shaping at this end or is it just for looks? This is fairly heavy leather. How do you get such lovely curves and shaping. Is it just simple pressure from the lacing causing the leather to conform to the underlying foam or is it wet down and stretched or molded? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
