Members joker Posted January 5, 2011 Author Members Report Posted January 5, 2011 I really like your piston bags! Could you show some pictures of how they're opened and closed? I'd like to see the inside. This is about the best pic I have right now. They open like any toolbag, just undo the buckles and open it up. Hope this helps.

Hope this helps. Joker Joker, Thanks so much for the quick reply and picture! That helps a lot. Actually seeing how something is put together really helps me understand it much better. It looks like you drill and tap the pistons for attaching the leather? I guess you could use rivets too. I've never used the copper or brass, (not sure which) rivets, but I bet they'd look good on it. I've seen them used on other projects on this site. Would they be easier or cheaper, or is there a reason you use screws? Very nice work! Thanks again, Bobby Quote Bobby Riddle Sanford, NC www.riddlescustomupholstery.com www.sunstopper.biz
Members joker Posted January 6, 2011 Author Members Report Posted January 6, 2011 Those are just pop rivits. I drill the piston and then use pop rivits and a washer. It holds real well. thanks for the kutos! Joker Quote BANG, BANG, BANG goes the mallet!
