not finished so no color

very Good lots of cushion for soft ride.I am trying to understand the way you sew the pieces together, like making a bag stitched from the inside?

[billio8]

let's see if I can explain

the first sewing machine parts must be made with leather and with soft leather on the side and then the beautiful soft leather to be folded and made ​​the second seam

[paprhangr]

Ok, can you post a picture of the bottom side.

Thanks

[billio8]

first seam in this sense

[paprhangr]

thanks, Im beginning to understand, you use veggie tan for top and bottom what do you use for the side pices?

how do you fit on to the pan/pad?

[paprhangr]

After sewing top to sides, how do you sew the bottom piece so you can fit tight over the pan? Is bottom stapled?

[billio8]

Use leather 3 mm in the upper part, while leather from 1 mm in the lateral parts, to start stitching and Permare lateral part of the upper use staples that pathologist just finished seam

the lower part of the saddle is not sewn but only with staples

[paprhangr]

thanks again, beginning to see, can you post a picture of the bottom of the seat.

is the pan steel or fiberglass?

after making the upper seem, do you pull the staples out?

[billio8]

I have no photos because the bottom has already been delivered to the customer.

under the saddle is made of plastic and attached with staples original honda

I will also work next photo in the saddle

Thanks for sharing, I have only made 4 Bobber seats first three I used the round braid, takes a lot of time. just the braiding took me 12hrs.I bought a industrial machine And learning to use it, on my last seat I wet molded top and bottom, then machined sewed the top and bottom together it' was so quick, 30 minutes to sew. I like machine sewing.

They way you sewed your seat using 3 pieces is interesting, I have made a couple bags making the hem on the inside then flip it. Your seat is kinda like that.

I can see now your seat is 2 pieces, side piece wraps under to the bottom, pulled tight and stapled. right?

guess would only work with plastic pan

[billio8]

may also work with fund under metalla just stop with glue and will not detract

[paprhangr]

Not sure I understand what you are trying to tell me.

[billio8]

if the seat bottom is made of metal can be locked only with leather glue

[paprhangr]

Thanks for explaining, would Barge contact cement will hold leather to the metal seat pan?

Don't need to put in rivets?

[billio8]

Use putty universal bostik, before smear caulk on a saddle and leather, after about 10 minutes join the party

to block it, smear on the entire surface of metal and leather mastic and fabric lie thick on the seat bottom and is not removed for more

nothing he screws rivets

[paprhangr]

Thank you for your patience. I understand ,

Maybe you could post a pic of the bottom on your next seat like this Honda.
