Thank You for your clip, i Hope next time you make a clip with saddle has a hole in center of saddle

Hey, what glue is the white one for the edges? Thank you!

What kind of leather u used that; Crazy horse, nubuck, Pull up or what? How thickness?

Excellent video thank you

кожа имеет направление волокон. в одну сторону тянется лучше чем в другую. на видео вы разрезали кусок кожи против направления волокон.надо было сер5дину делать вдоль позвоночника животного. спасибо за полезное видео.

Great video thank you!!

What do you think, textured or smooth finish leather which will be better for a saddle?

Thanks and MAX masterpiece you did...

maravilloso trabajo👏👏👌

I am fine with people wanting to horse around like this. But is there any produced good honey leather MTB saddles, that I do not need to mess with before I can sit on the, and non brooks...just MTB saddles, with good light not too thick honey leather...are no where to be found...regretfully. While so many people love the leather looks. Also on modern bikes.

Excellent video. Any tips for building up the foam. I’ve got a big gap where a chunk is missing. Was thinking some expanding foam and cutting to shape.

Thanks Carson, I'll be doing this soon. Appreciate the video instruction.

Hello very nice video! I would like to ask if you'd suggest using fake leather instead of genuine...! Thank you!

Beautiful

Can you send me info on the glue. Font need the kit

thanks for the tutorials. if i could press 1000x likes button 👍

Anyone know ow the best thickness of leather to buy for this?

Great work. How thick is the leather?

Wow I had no idea that people did this. I did it to the saddle on my fixed gear but that’s awesome that more people do it!

Great instructional video! Thanks! I'm going to recover my Specialized seat and I'll be able to use your video as a direct reference to get this done correctly.

To ensure that grove is firmly glued, place a fabric there to from a mound, then can place the saddle in a thick plastic foil and in vacuum pressure bag. Suck out the air with a vacuum cleaner and wait for glue to dry, usually a day.

Would you recommend a chrome tan leather over a veg?

Very useful video. One question: does the recommended glue allow for the leather cover to be peeled, in case of errors or future damage?

Awesome video Carson! Any saddles you recommend as particularly good/easy to recover?

Brillian🤝

What type of leather and what thickness?

Carson well done mate. kind of makes it look easy when it is a pretty specific skill set. i did not complete covering a saddle in marine grade vinyl b/c i just could not stretch it well enough and see from this vid the pliers would have helped with that. what's the charge to have you recover a saddle i send you? really dig the bison honey leather for a saddle and matching bars.

Wow. Thanks for the video. Appreciate that.

Some leathers stretch more in one direction than the other. Which direction should be the most stretchable? Lengthwise or across?

Very nice video :) When you say final conditioning, what does this mean exactly?

Thanks. Great video. About to embark on my debut re-covering journey. A few questions for you. 1. How long to wait before the 3M spray adhesive is tacky enough to hold, but not too tacky as unable to reset? 2. When is the 3M glue dry enough to move on to using the white glue? 3. How long to wait between application and with your white glue? 4. Should we not add white glue to the nose until the white glue on the sides and back is dry? 5. When is the white glue dry enough to move on to working the nose? 6. Is there a leather conditioner you recommend? Will pants/shorts/tights/etc rub off said conditioner? If so, will it stain/damage the clothing? Thanks again.

Are you using the 3M 30NF or 1000NF? I’ve been using Petronio’s which is strong af but also toxic af. Trying to break the old shoe guy habits 🤦

Sure did turn out nice!

Seu trabalho ficou excelente amigo gostei muito parabéns

I have an older Haro BMX saddle that has very thick padding but is worn out and uncomfortable, I think I'm going to add gel to the saddle padding then cover it with leather to turn it into something premium.

hi Carson... can you share the leather conditioner you are using... currently i have a project but hesitant to start for i dont have the right material.

💚 I'll try on my saddle! Did you have more videos in your channel? Show more content!

What material do You use for leather finishing?

Excellent video Carson.

Awesome video, thanks so much!

how much is your kits cost?

Most leather stretch more in one direction than the other. Which way should the stretching direction of the leather point?

Perfect 🙌

What if you don't have a template??

Nice.

Nice

Great Work

This is pretty awesome instruction video, Carson. I might tackle it someday. I am still waiting for you to get back into doing custom recovering again. Thanks.

Beautiful.

Thickness of leather anyone?

saddle should be made at least with 5mm depth this is too thin

beautiful thank you
