Here's a picture of my first "Paying" motorcycle seat...only my second total, the first one I did was for me. I'm aspiring to Saddleman's French seams! :D Course now that he's got his dual needle fancy machine, that'll be hard to do. Let me know what you think.

This is off of a sport bike that a guy at work painted. They wanted a bike with wood look. The bike looked pretty good, but the paint on the seat didn't last long.

Bobby, Nice looking work! Keep it up and you will be adding one of those double needle machine to the shop just to keep up. ;D

Real nice Bobby! But man! Looking at your other pictures you really need to clean off your bench! ;)

Real genius work is never neat and tidy. LOL I'm sure the boss will pay him to clean it up tomorrow.
(know he is his own boss)

I seem to get too many things going at once, and without a big shop to work in, things get cluttered quick! :o I gotta build me a shop! ;D

Oh, don't worry. The shop you build will soon be just as cluttered! I have a 'huge' shop and I'm constantly losing the battle against clutter!

Peppy,
One things for sure, no matter how big you build the building, it's never
BIG enough! :(
One technique that is supposed to help is when you walk into the shop, before starting work, put 10 things away.
Or so I'm told.Quote from: hdflame on March 12, 2011, 07:55:08 am

Problem is, when I started back to work I'd have to move 20 things to get to the 10 I just put away! :'(
