I've been following your channel for a bit. I really enjoy the work you've put in and seeing the growth in your skills.

[@forthebold]

Thanks for following.

[@christopherastbury6644]

loved the video, especially the lack of gloves and exact measurements, yet you produce some stunning work. Now its time for me to create a seat. P.S. Didn't know it was snowing in your locality! :)

[@forthebold]

Absolutely. Like the Ducati’s body, all done by eye 🤣

[@odongojr9342]

Great work as always.💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

[@forthebold]

Thanks

[@rickardlarsson4090]

What glue you recommend to use to make it stick proper? Doing my first seat in the coming weeks.

[@forthebold]

Anything epoxy that you need to mix

[@Rob-hx6on]

An upholster friend of mine use to use an old electric knife for trimming foam.

[@forthebold]

A good tool too. Regret my parents not keeping theirs from the 80s. I’ve resorted to an angle grinder.

[@Rob-hx6on]

@@forthebold hi mate, I've been binge watching the r100 build, did you make any more episodes past 13, can't seem to find them.

[@forthebold]

Carrying on with them this month after a big workshop move.

[@Rob-hx6on]

@@forthebold nice 1, thanks, got interested in the r60 after watching Elspeth beard video, also needing to get my 20ft container kitted out as a workshop for my XT500 reso.
Good chatting with you.

[@Punkerage]

i guess for this cutting part you could use a hot wire because it's less messy and it can be more precise.

[@forthebold]

If I had one would be great

[@Punkerage]

​ @For The Bold a fence wire and a bike or car battery. i used this to make my own seat after seeing some of your fiberglassing videos for the ghost.

[@garagemaudaz]

What is the gauge of this sheet metal? Is it 18, 20 or 22. Great vídeo... watching!

[@forthebold]

It’s 1mm in metric

[@gabrielmarquez7454]

Does the upholsterer have an issue stapling to metal compared to fiber glass? Also did you weld the bolts so the seat can be removed without them moving inside.

[@forthebold]

They just glue on the fabric. You can weld the bolts but for this one they won’t turn.

[@ingram716]

Or just a cheap electric turkey carver, can find them used for almost nothing at thrift stores etc.

[@forthebold]

I’m sure there’s one at my parents house somewhere

[@rajaroy6183]

Sir next video i am wating for your videos

[@forthebold]

One up today

[@Mo_G]

👍👍👍

[@forthebold]

Thanks

[@wedkarstwost9244]

Personally, I would have used 1.5.2 millimeters aluminum sheet.

[@forthebold]

Nice
