Members silkfatblues Posted May 8, 2016 Author Members Report Posted May 8, 2016 Madmax22 is right... I printed out the drawing (the pic of the guys tattoo), adjusted it to fit my design and the shape of the seat, and just used the tool that is usually used for background... Simple but effective... here is the previous work I did... Just a teaser for now cheers, s Quote
Members silkfatblues Posted June 6, 2016 Author Members Report Posted June 6, 2016 Hi all! here is another simple seat. This one was carved and engraved and then painted with acrylic paint. Then I used some sanding paper to make that red painted parts more interesting... cheers, s oh yes, and the wallet, simple but cool combo with the seat... Quote
bikermutt07 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 Your work is out of this world. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Members JMWendt Posted June 6, 2016 Members Report Posted June 6, 2016 So I'm wondering about your technique on the corner of your attached front pockets. Can you describe how you do this? I don't understand the fold and stitching and would like to know more about the method. Quote

Ok, i will try to explain but I think photos would work better So, this small piece from the corner to the back is 1,5 cm wide piece of leather. You stitch that in to the corner and the stitches are obviously from the inside... Than you turn it upside down and use a hammer to flatten it a bit... Latter you can use water to reshape it and lacquering for water resistant stuff and so on... Hope I helped cheers, S Quote

I'd sure like to see the whole process from start to finish. How about a picture of the inside of the corner and how it attaches to the bag? That might be all I need to "get it." I do appreciate the information. Quote
Members silkfatblues Posted January 31, 2018 Author Members Report Posted January 31, 2018 Hi all, sorry for being away for so long. Had a couple floods in my workshop and home, some larger orders to handle, I had put a lot of custom work aside... I am kind of getting back at it... Now I see again most of the pics from this new thread are gone again... any cure for that? any suggestions? What is better, links from flick, fb, or uploading here? Any advice helps, tnx! just a few pics from a simple seat I made yesterday... Cheers!!! Silvio Quote

Yes, I got contacted by moderators and they explained... I thought I was saving them web space by uploading on flickr. Honest mistake Cheers, S Quote
