FHL FERG Report post Posted December 13, 2010 Hey Everyone, My name is Craig and I have been working with leather for about 5 or 6 years off an on. I have recently tried to get back at it and was looking for some guidance on a particular project when I found the forums. I am excited to pick your brains, learn some new techniques, figure out where I have gone wrong on old ones, and just generally improve on my skills.

FHL FERG Report post Posted January 10, 2011 Thanks, I'm pretty proud of the tops of them. The bottom side however leaves little to be desired. At the time I didn't have a resource like this forum to help me through the process. So the bottoms are raw and unfinished really. Now, after reading one of the how to's in the motorcycle section I have started making bottom plates and riveting them to the pans, then lacing together. I am almost finished with my first one of this style, I have had some problems with it (we'll call it a learning curve, lol) but it;s coming along. Those seats look great!!
