Members Bobby hdflame Posted April 21, 2012 Members Report Posted April 21, 2012 Thanks a lot! Just did: That looks awesome! What tool did you use for that pattern around the edges and down the middle? Quote
Members 276ccm Posted April 22, 2012 Author Members Report Posted April 22, 2012 Don´t remember the name, but I´ll check next time I´m at the shop :-) That looks awesome! What tool did you use for that pattern around the edges and down the middle? Quote
Members WinterBear Posted April 23, 2012 Members Report Posted April 23, 2012 I think this one is still my favorite. I find the pattern, the floral, and the colors very aesthetically appealing. Quote
Members 276ccm Posted July 8, 2012 Author Members Report Posted July 8, 2012 Just finished three more seats :-) Quote

Members Eddie1968 Posted October 25, 2014 Members Report Posted October 25, 2014 man you're a total artist. great work. Eddie Quote
Members 276ccm Posted July 31, 2015 Author Members Report Posted July 31, 2015 Finally started on a few new seats.. I just ordered six seat pans and will make six different seats to show off at Oslo Motor Show in Octobre and Motorama Barcelona in November :-) And after some more tooling, coloring and dying.. :-) Quote
Members TheShiek2008 Posted August 9, 2015 Members Report Posted August 9, 2015 You molded the leather around the seat before you tooled it? Why would you not mold it after tooling? Quote
Members 276ccm Posted September 12, 2015 Author Members Report Posted September 12, 2015 I do both.. it´s just a way I feel comfortable with as I have seen so many seats, with the motive a little "off" center, and for me it would ruin all the work.. so I prefer to start holding, so I can place the motive as accurate as possible, then start the tooling, and then mold the rest after.. I learned all this by my self, and I found a way that works for me.. It has defiantly crossed my mind that I can try other methods, but this works and the clients are happy with the result :-) Quote
Members 276ccm Posted September 12, 2015 Author Members Report Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) The Lucky 13 seat is all done: Started on a new skull seat.. going to try to paint this with acrylics.. well see how it ends :-) Also started another seat, with diamond stitching.. have a little sewing machine problem right now, but as soon as the timing is fixed, I´ll continue with this one.. The "Hold Fast" is done too.. :-) Edited September 12, 2015 by 276ccm Quote
