New to Leatherworking, Automotive Upholstery

[rl0089]

Hey guys, 

 

My name is Rob and new overall to leather working.  I'm specifically doing automotive work and am trying to learn. As much as I can about upholstery.  My current project is 2000 Saab 9-3 Viggen that had a limited production interior I would like to either repair or replicate as best as possible.  I look forward to learning as much as I can!  Thanks.

+1 for Cechaflo!   

The videos are silent, but he does a great job of annotating in English and effectively showing you just what he's doing.   Great stuff!

Thank you guys! I'll be posting up a specific thread for the project I'm working on with some pics.  I'd like to hear what anyone has to say about leather dying, especially more complicated patterns.
