David Report post Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Just finished my first seat in a while. I wanted to try lacing with brass grommets in both sides. I also wanted to try heavier leather. This seat is all 11-12 oz. leather. I normally use 8-9 oz. leather All in all, I think it turned out ok. I liked tooling the heavier leather of course. But lacing with grommets.....it may be quite a while before I do that again. The two color lacing was a lot of fun. I like the look of it, but it is time consuming.

JLSleather Report post Posted July 15, 2015 That looks good. Personally, I like lacing better when someone ELSE does it but that DOES look good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Report post Posted July 15, 2015 I guess I'm just a bit weird, I love to lace…..The bicolor stuff looks complicated but once you get started its not bad. Just takes time. And it doesn't take a huge amount of time to pick up the basics, again its just time and repetition. I was fortunate, I made my first seat and the right guy saw it……then I made about 300 seats for them in a 2-3 year span. So, now doing a seat is like …. falling down… its easy to do…. Thanks for the nice comments. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rohn Report post Posted July 15, 2015 I also like to lace and do all my holsters with lace, although that is about to change as I have purchased a sewing machine. I still plan to do a lot of lacing because everybody likes the looks of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLSleather Report post Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) OH, I see where my reply could be taken wrong.... David, when i said lacing done by somebody ELSE, I meant somebody NOT ME Yours looks great! ETA: I do it, but I don't love it. Edited July 15, 2015 by JLSleather Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buttons Report post Posted July 30, 2015 That is amazing! And those cat tails are beyond perfect. Is the lacing Mexican round braid? How do you do that? I enjoy lacing. For me that would represent many episodes of Law and Order. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frederiek Report post Posted July 31, 2015 That is so cool! I like everything of it, the eyelets and the lacing are the best. Real nice tooling as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
