McJeep Report post Posted July 11, 2011 Funny how timing works - saw Chris "spinner" post up his fender bib for his bike with his company logo on it - I happened to have just finished drafting stages of mine and was getting ready to cut cow at the time - just finished dyeing it and thought I'd post up a link while the dye dries, and before oiling etc. Lot's of in progress shots here as I try to get my buds hooked on the "custom" aspect of leatherwork as opposed to buying offshore vinyl stuff at the local bike shop ;0) This link "should" allow all to see https://www.facebook.com/pages/Rampant-Leatherworks/196182280429283 All critique and advice willingly accepted by this noob ;0) Thanks for looking!

McJeep Report post Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) Ohhhhhh, I think the sewing machine is gonna add a whole nuther dimension to what I can plan for projects - took forever to find the thread but I like the end result. 7-8 oz tooled (4 coats of beeswax) with 5 oz latigo underneath for bulk and hopefully some water barrier? Also lined it with felt - now for the braiding tomorrow and time to bolt it on. Edited July 13, 2011 by McJeep Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McJeep Report post Posted July 18, 2011 All done - not soooo happy with finish but that's another thread ;0) Changed the round braid to "3 holes back" vice 2 - I like the way it tightens the angles up so no leather is visible between the laces.
