some of what i'm working on

[Roger]

for some reason i am really fighting with every seat i work on right now :angry:

it seems to go like this every now and then but, i think i learn the most when this happens and it is quite humbling.

i am happy with my tooling however. i think i am getting more consistant from project to project.

[Roger]

got so bad i had to put evrything aside and pulled out some black split and made my son a vest. i have since ordere some split conchos and added a couple. hopefully things will start to smooth out here shortly. i have some work to do for some rather important people in the motorcycle biz.

Roger, I'm not sure I understand what you're saying about having problems. The seat so far looks GREAT, and I hope to see it finished soon. The vest looks real good too. Does "Little Beeza" do any tooling yet?

Love the seat, and the vest is cool too.... Dont think I have ever seen a Jolly Roger with a bow in its "hair".... LOL

[Roger]

thanks guys! ken... my issues are cropping up when fitting the cover to the seat right now. i am having to fight each one. everything else is going smoothly.

my boy plays now and then when i can get him to. he did set most of the rivets on his vest with dad holding the the tool and him doing his best to bruise my hands up LOL! he's 3 1/2.

He's cute.

Bummer I can't see the pics when I click on the link. Maybe a glitch.

[wolvenstien]

Hey Spider.... is a glitch, Johanna and Kate had to flush the site last night and as a result all pix uploaded yesterday were lost....

The more i look at it, the more i realize how clean your lines are and how much hidden detail (does that make sense) there is. Alot nice little touches. Very nice. Is this one your design or the customers ?

i have been working more and more on the little details. the skull is one from the paint job on the bike

Wish I could cut sharp crisp lines like that, mine look like someone failing the sobriety test, practice practice practice, cutting lines, not for the test.

i have a seat to do for a close friend of a well known builder... that's all i will say

i can get my son to sit down and play with the tools now and then but, at 3 1/2 there is not much interest yet. i keep trying!

[TomSwede]

That tooling gives justice to that really nice skull art!

Nice clean lines on those flames and some very cool details on that skull. Bullethole cracks looks so crisp!

Love it!
