Started the afternoon watching videos on bike wiring looms as I'm about to rewire my 1961 Lambretta, ended up watching all of your videos right back from the wiring loom creation...where has my day gone haha. You've certainly had your fair share of problems with this build but you stuck with it and well...here you are! A beautiful creation, amazing work. I'll be watching more of your videos tomorrow lol. Subscribed too!

Man. You’re crazy ! And we like it. Leather barely done, and you do it once again because of the color. And you was so right. The new one fit perfectly the whole bike. I think now you gonna have some rest and ride your bike when the sun will coming back but we can’t wait to watch the série of your new project ! Once again, thanks for sharing all of this. We learn a lot through the video. Thank you so much and happy new year !

I just started watching your videos about a week ago. I must tell you that they are informational, very entertaining and extremely well done. I have been refurbishing pre-owned motorcycles for more than 30 years and watching you build is inspiring and therapeutic. I have worked in video my entire career (am now retired ) and I will say to you, and to all watching your videos, that most people have no idea how time consuming and difficult it is to achieve your high level of production quality. I am also impressed by your musings and explanations of what you do during your builds. You really wear you heart on your sleeve. The seat building video was remarkable for your explanation of the process and allowing viewers to see the complete process. I don't build from scratch or to your quality level but I enjoy what I do, as I see you do. I will continue to watch your builds for inspiration, education and entertainment. Gefeliciteerd en nog veel succes voor je nog vele jaren.

Absolutely love watching craftsman at work. I'm a upholsterer 22yrs experience but my expertise is sofa's, chairs, beds, I've worked with all mediums fabrics, leather, vinyl, and I have always wanted to do car interior and motorcycle seat reupholstery but IV never learned how to use the sewing machine after watching this and other similar vids I think it's time I gave it a go. Awesome job by the way. Should of tried it with yellow piping a it would of carried the yellow line from the tank to the rear wheel guard.

@chiefpepdesign 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks! We were afraid it would be to much. Maybe too clowny. I wanted te keep the main focus on the bike itself and the tank. Too much details on the seat could distract that focus.
