I am curious how you get that roll that runs around the edges of your seat.

hi,

to get that edge roll you cut a long peice just like youre making a belt but 2,5cm wide and thinner leather... you aply glue on edges but not on the middle of it.... you stick the edges together and by doing that you get a long lace with a tube like shape on one side... the side that is not tubelike is ment for sewing and you doo that in the oposite way so when you turn the parts inside out you get this tubelike part out.... I'll try making some pics... it is hard explaining this way:)

cheers

and another seat

That might be one of my favorites so far. The contrast of that "lace" just really makes it pop. That, and every time I try doing thin flames or tribal like that I end up cutting too deep so it looks screwy when I tool it out. So, I know how hard it is to get it as crisp and clean as you did here.

thanx mate!! my little secret is - i didn't cut the leather, just stamped as much it was needed to pop out the drawings... seems I was right to supose what would happen if i did cut it... but it took me 4 days of stamping and tooling it... it had to be done ASAP... this one was the most work of all previous seats...

The owner wants black laces and we are waiting it to come (ebay)... this red is cool to me to and i would do some more interesting lace patern but i knew i would take it down in a week or two so no point in dooing that...

the red lace doesn't go well with the bike colours, that is the most important reason to take it down actualy, so new pics soon ;):)

best regards,

I did this one during the weekend... Finaly started using swivel knife for all details... I wanted to keep it all black but the customers wishes are on the first place, right? :)) anyway, I like how it turned out... I'll play with graphics more next time, this one was needed ASAP so no time for too much planing and thinking...

cheers,

Silk
