Totally agree with this. Ive been watching alot of atomic autoworks videos. And this guy goes into better detail about what he is doing. Wold love to see someone talk about the different foams and when to use what….rebond, open cell, closed cell, medium density, heavy density, sew foams, dry foams, etc….

@finnsleathershop45893 ай бұрын
To be honest I made mine years ago. For some other purpose which I don’t remember as well, but I found it worked well for this and I’ve been using it ever since. I took a 1/2” round steel rod and filed the tip into a “V” shaped cutting edge. Similar to a chisel edge. It doesn’t have to be too sharp to cut the leather. You might be able to use a short piece of small angle iron as well and sharpen one end.

Thanks. Glad you liked the video. As for the supplies, I get the Elmers spray glue from my local hardware store and the cambric from an upholstery supply store. You could probably also find it from an online source like Amazon. It also is sometimes called “spunbound” fabric. Be sure you get the white so you can see through it.

Couple more questions. It looks like your using a walking foot machine? If you are do you use any kind of walking foot made for leather or is it the standard foot? Also if practice this technique with vinyl will it mimic how the leather would work so I can perfect the skill before spending $$$ on leather?
@finnsleathershop45892 жыл бұрын
I’m using a standard walking foot on a Consew 206RB-5 machine. A basic leather industrial machine. The cambric pattern making technique should work the same for most any material. Certainly leather and vinyl. The cambric has just a little stretch to it as does leather and vinyl. The cambric is just an easy way to find out what a curvy surface looks like when flattened out.

Thank you so much for your replies! I have a nice nakajima industrial walking foot sewing machine i picked up. Still learning. I can't wait to try this to cover my heritage softail seats!

I don’t have any videos on that but when I need to shape foam I’ve had success using an air powered die grinder with a sanding disk. It’s a bit hard to control at first but it really smooths out and shaves away the foam well.

Should be able to. Most any stitch you can do on a machine can be hand sewn. It just takes more time. Also when hand sewing soft leather you need to be careful not to pull the threads too tight and end up gathering the material too much.

@finnsleathershop45893 жыл бұрын
I’m not sure what to call the type of staples. They are just the ones that fit in my old air powered upholstery staple gun. I usually use the 1/2” length so they are sure to go in far enough to hold well however I sometimes use a 1/4” where the foam is thin so they don’t poke thru the top side of the leather.
