Not bad work after taking a thirty year lunch break!
That looks great Paul, cool hardware too, thanks for the pics.

Excellent work Paul......

Anything made of leather like that is a real eye catcher, that is a work of art for sure......
Keep up the good work.

I never seem to have enough room for all my stuff I bring to work on my motorized bicycle so made an in frame bag,

 

[Intrepid Wheelwoman]

That in frame bag is a really cool idea Paul. I must say that your skill with leather work is absolutely outstanding and takes your bike to a whole new level.

 

[paul]

thank you, its a lot of fun to do and with nice to able to customize the bags to the shape and size I want.

 

[mapbike]

That bike looks excellent Paul, as others have said. I also agree that you do very nice leather work.....

I enjoy it, getting about ready to order another hide of leather, about used this one up lol. I enjoy making my own patterns and getting the exact size I want for what I need for my motorized bicycles

 

[Tinsmith]

Spend some time up in the Great North country with SB and he could show you how to obtain your own hide and a freezer full of meat. It's only been -30 degrees there in recent weeks numerous times. Pretty sturdy old man, that Silverbear is.

I lived in the alagash wilderness of northern maine and moved here from Michigan, I had enough of the great north and will stay in the 85 degree sunshine and order stuff in the mail and get my meat in the grocery store, I do miss fresh deer meat I must say though lol.

Some really great stuff! I think there may be more leather work in my future. Here's my first project. Almost done.

That's a good looking seat! Any pictures midway in the project? Did you make the seat pan?

Yes. I started with a fiberglass pan - 8 layers. Here's some intermediate pics:
