My birthday present

I found a sweet deal on a like-new Consew 206RB-5 industrial sewing machine to do my upholstery. This machine is a beast! It punched through 4 layers of 3-4oz upholstery leather like it was a single layer of silk. I can't wait to try to make a rifle sling or belt out of 9-10oz.

First attempt at making a motorcycle seat

The stitching on my motorcycle seat recently disintegrated, so I made a new cover out of leather. I'm not completely satisfied with it, but I'm going to ride on it for a while to see how it holds up.

Review: Harbor Freight 1/2" Crown Air Stapler (97572)

I purchased a cheapo crown stapler from HF to use for upholstery.

The build quality is not bad for the price ($20) and hopefully the brick of staples won't outlast the gun. I used it to tack my motorcycle seat cover down and it worked perfectly.
