Custom motorcycle seats and shotgun cartridge bags just do my leather work as a hobby in my spare time

Great work! Awesome carving,colour work and stitching. 

Did you use a pattern for outline shape of the bobber seat or did you just do it by sight? Would like to see underneath the seat.

Hi I made the underside of the seat in 2mm steel plate using a paper pattern I made and cut out  . Welded in bolts and then riveted a piece of 2mm thick leather about 50mm wide around the underside of the steel plate and then glued on about 30mm thick hard foam. I carved the design on the leather that was cut out roughly the size +about 3” bigger of the seat then wetted the leather stretched it and bulldog clipped it around the edge of the seat . Waited for it to dry then glued it on. stitched round the edge and trimmed of the excess. Slicked the edge and dyed it and whala you have a seat . Hope this helps you if you decide to make one. I’ll try and put on a underside photo of the seat later . Ok  Ps when making your carving design just draw one side of it then trace it . Turn the tracing paper over and trace the other half . Photocopy the complete tracing paper design and wala you have your design ready to go.. I have put on another seat I made with a different design on it . Ok I’ll stop boring you now . Ha ha

Those cartridge case bags are lovely. My wife has submitted a 'present request' for me to make her a handbag in a similar style to those, but I've yet to work out a pattern.

Thanks for the compliment AndyNext . It took me a while to work out and make the patterns but got it sorted in the end . I have now got a set of paper patterns for my cartridge bags so if you need to pick my brains on how the bags are made . I’m no expert but ill try to help you out . Ok

Thanks,  I might take you up on that offer when the project goes 'live', i.e. before Christmas 2019, if I hit any issues!!!

Do you have any more pics of your bags?

[Mudguts]

Second all of the above, superb work. Was also curious about the cartridge bag construction, looks like that would take some working out, so thanks for extra pics.
