Front and Rear fender - Simson AWO 425 Touren

Almost 3 weeks of hard work,130 hours, and not completely satisfied, still come nice, I mean the shape, correct pattern, I just have to exccel in rough finish just a little bit! What do you think? 
The next sheet metal work, an very rare, early 1928 BMW R7 FRONT FENDER... that is a real challenge.
Thank you all, for your support!
See you soon... I hope.

Ford tractor seat - early model - hand made

A few days ago a friend called me and tell with a desperate voice: "I am in the middle of the field and the seat to my tractor broke, I need another urgent"... What could I do? refuse him? 
To make sure that will last over time, I put a reinforcement of a steel angle profile, curved manually by the radius curvature of the seat and T.I.G. welded.
Dimension 35x55 cm, back rest 28cm high, a pretty comfy seat.

Leather purse - braided double loop - Mystery Braid shoulder strap

It was a great opportunity to Testing the Rodi 50SL skiving and cutting machine, this time just the cutting part I use... was a pleasure!
To this purse I use a soft brown Italian leather, braided whit leather strap made at home, inside leather too, simple as possible...
Behind the PURSE  is a painting of the artist Irina G. recently received from my good friend and wooden box on the right is hand made by "Lucruri cu Suflet" - "Art with Soul" can be found here https://www.facebook.com/ profile.php? id = 100006697037626.

Geanta "Ţărănească" - Pattern‬ ‪- ‎Traditional‬ ‪Romanian‬ ‪Leatherbag‬

Sau mai bine spus o straiță din piele combinată cu broderie cusută, țesută de mână, autentic românească din zona Bihorului (e al dracu` de mândru purtătorul).
În alte cuvinte, o geantă din piele naturală lucrată - cusută manual, interiorul este o țesătură de bumbac autentică țesută pe război de țesut, buzunare în interior pe faţa şi spatele genții, din acelaşi material... să simtă că îi straiță, şi în interior şi în exterior... na!
Şi nu! NU E JEG, NICI MIZERIE (pt. cei sceptici) e doar o amprentă a timpului, o îmbătrânire naturală a bumbacului a țesăturii, mi s-a cerut s-o las cât mai posibil vizibilă şi pe bună dreptate.
Nu va abțineți, dați cu comentarii vă rog!

A Leather BAG combined with a hand sewn embroidery woven authentic from Romania - Bihor area (a bloody proud one owner).
In other words, a handmade leather bag sewn by hand, Oyama's Garage style, the interior is a cotton fabric woven on the loom genuine, inside pockets the front and back of the bag, at the same fabric.
And no! It's not mess, dirt on the fabric (for the skeptical) it's just a time stamp, a patina, a natural aging of cotton fabrics, I was asked to leave as more likely noticeable, and for good reason.
Comment please!
