Contributing Member wolvenstien Posted June 11, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted June 11, 2008 Ok, Beeza, You tooled the seat and attached it to the sides.... is the part under the seat cut away or is there two layers of leather there? Did stretching the seat after it was tooled hurt it any? Can I cut a whole piece, wet it, allow it to dry a bit, and stretch it over the whole thing, tacking it down underneath, then remove it and tool it and add an additional piece over the seat area? Or should all this be done before stretching?

Roger Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 sorry man! i didn't get the email notification on this one for some reason. the center is cut out and i try not wet my tooling. i try to just wet the side i don't see any reason why you could not stretch a whole piece then remove it and do what you want to do. some pics from the tutorial i did Quote
Contributing Member wolvenstien Posted June 13, 2008 Author Contributing Member Report Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) Cool. Then thats what i will do.... I have it stretched over the seat... I couldnt get the back part to stretch since I stretched everything in that direction I guess, so i cut it and put in a seem.... worked out because I had to put in a hole for the back rest. Now to just figure out what i want to tool into the seat.... I see from the pix you added, you cut out the area of the seat, and put the other in over the hole over lapping. Do you think there would be a problem if I did not cut out the area, but left it and then put the tooled piece over it?

Now to just figure out what i want to tool into the seat.... that's fine. remember that you can re-wet it and do some more pulling plus it will shrink up some more I see from the pix you added, you cut out the area of the seat, and put the other in over the hole over lapping. Do you think there would be a problem if I did not cut out the area, but left it and then put the tooled piece over it? no closeup. the top just overlaps the side and yes, you can see the edge through the lacing Quote
