Virtual Seat Pan

Over the past two weeks I have had a course in AutoCad and Rhinoceros. And though I'm not really good at it I thought I might as well try to make something useful so here's The drawings for my new seat project.
As to actually making it I think my best bet is to hammer it out of a sheet of aluminium over a wooden shape and then rivet on the brackets.

Strap

While waiting for a strap I ordered for the Tissot I decided to try to make a leather strap for my Seiko 5. This is inspired by some flieger style watches I have seen on the web. The new full grain leather looks a bit dull, but I am looking forward to see it develop a nice patina.

Laid It Up For The Winter

I couldn't find indoors storage for the bike this year so I had to park it under a piece of cheap tarp in a gateway in the block.
Next step was preparing the tank. Finding fuel stabilizer proved to be quite a task so instead of sourcing some online I chose just to take off the tank, drain it and take it inside. It now sits warm and safe in the cellar.

Hang on

I see it's been a long time since my last post here. A lot of stuff has happened in the last two months as well as increasing pressure at school.
However, I am still here and have a few ideas on my mind. for instance: In the future you will get a review of bespoke gloves from England as well as posts on some home made stuff and the occasional school update.
So hang on folks and make sure to subscribe to the blog to recieve notice when there's anything new.
