leatheroo Report post Posted March 20, 2010 I finally finished this seat. It was such a pain to make. The seat base was a really strange shape and i had a bit of trouble getting the leather to mold. My biggest drama was punching the holes. I punched the top then went about punching the bottom to match....punch...tie..punch a few more...tie etc. I was finished and quite pleased with myself and started lacing and was half way finished, when i realised i had the $##@%^$$ing top upside down!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How the hell did i let that happen.....So now the holes didnt match up any more!!!!!!!!!!Any way enough ranting, i finally got it sorted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MADMAX22 Report post Posted March 21, 2010 Sounds like an adventure lol. Great job on the design and tooling. I can see where that shape would be a real pain to work with to try and get it all snugged up properly. I think something to look into is when doing that type of seat try maybe lacing first then wrapping the cover around the seat and stapling/riveting it on then go about dying it and stuff. Thats what I had to do with mine and it turned out pretty good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
