Long Time Waiting! First Seat Finally Done

Recommended Posts

Well, some people have been waiting a very long time for me to start my seat production. So, here we go :)

This one's not for a special order or anything. I just finally got some time to do one between guitar strap orders. Hopefully it was worth the wait. I know I'm pretty happy with it.

Super looking seat! How did you not dye the parts that aren't dyed?

Carefully with lots of deep breaths ;)

Seriously though, I use liquid latex as a masking solution. Every time I try tape, it has some kind of effect on the grain. The fluid just peels right off like nothing was ever there.

They're pretty standard, but I'll grab some measurements during lunch. The guy I buy my pans from welded them in on these.

As I thought (but wasn't sure), they are 6" on center for the top/back mounts and 5" down to the forward hinge mount.

That's amazing and I would never have guessed it was your first seat. Id be happy if my first seat is half as good. It's a project in waiting.

The main product that's available is from Woodland Scenics. It's made for model train folks. I only use it to "resist" DYE since most finishes won't block dye at all. When antiquing or staining - Resolene, ClearLac, or RTC work well.
