Members rmr Posted January 25, 2012 Members Report Posted January 25, 2012 Does anyone know of somone who makes an acrylic leather slick for seat work - like Jermiah Watt uses on his video?? If not is there anyone else out there that would be interested in one? I found a glass store here in Dallas that will make them from 1/2-5/8" thick plexiglass if they are provided a shape to go by- which will be easy to do. I suspect there will be a minimum order reqiured to have them order the material. Thanks RMR Quote
Timd Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 Do you have a picture or dimensions? I haven't seen the video, but I've made some acrylic slickers. Quote

Tim My best guess watching the video is its about 11-12" long, probably about 2-3 " wide and about 1/2-3/4 thick. It is shaped somewhat like a bananna or a boomerang with a gentle convex curve on the front edge and a has a concave back edge, the two sides are also rounded with sightly differrent radiuses (sp??) - it looks to me like all 4 edges can be used for differrent places on a saddle. All the edges are rounded off I can certainly draw what it looks like RMR Quote
Members rmr Posted January 26, 2012 Author Members Report Posted January 26, 2012 I will try and draw a picture and post it latter tonight RMR Quote
Members rmr Posted January 26, 2012 Author Members Report Posted January 26, 2012 Tim I attached a scan of what I was thinking of regarding shape Quote
Members rmr Posted January 27, 2012 Author Members Report Posted January 27, 2012 I'll see what I can do....... Tim I have a second shape that I might also want - if you are up for it Let me know. I can mail or fax original tracings I have made of both shapes . I will need all the edges rounded off, and would prefer this made of 1/2-3/4 material- Im thinking the thicker the better. What do you think they would run? Thanks RMR Quote
Timd Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 The thickest I'll have is 1/2", and we can talk about price later, ok? I have to see if there's any scrap at work.... Quote
Members rmr Posted January 27, 2012 Author Members Report Posted January 27, 2012 I think a 1/2 " thick will be just fine Quote
