Great bit of trim Del, makes a world of difference. Lots of ❤for the "Lass" at 'Lucky Foot Trimming', it's always a pleasure watching a true artisan at work. What a stunning job, well done.
So true Shaun, fascinating to watch her work, was an honour to be able to share her skills with our viewers... glad you enjoyed! Have a great weekend, D&Px
The attempts I have had at making a seat for my bike. I have gone through three camping mats and now have my desired seat, not 100% but pretty close. Love the seat on your bike, Del, but the problems I have had with a pro trimmer here left me with a sore and blood-stained, painful bum outch. Just go's to show that going to a reputable trimmer makes all the difference!
That young lady is an absolute artist ! You're lucky to have someone local who does such beautiful work. Great choices on the design too. I bet after starring in some Delboy's Garage videos Miss Lucky Foot will have more work than she can keep up with and deservedly so. Thanks, Del and Penny for the field trip. Stay well and happy my friends. ❤👍👍
You're right Rick, she is very talented and has some great design ideas too... and you're right, hoping she'll get some orders as we all need to support small businesses. Glad you enjoyed the video, wishing you a great weekend there, take care, D&Px
Dam fine double diamond stitching. Melly's Speedmaster has a similar look with a antique gold over aged black leather. Soo nice. Bike's lookin fine. Cheers! Mike
Fantastic job, turned out big WOW. Upholstery and Trimmer (in motorcycles as in furniture): The separation between the two professions exists mainly in large factories, then usually the trimmer will also have an academic degree in industrial specialization. The trimmer is the senior from the two. Trimmer skill is considered a more difficult to achieve. The trimmer has to plan how to use the area of the fabric in the most efficient way, the trimmer has to consider the direction of the fibers of the fabric, the trimmer adapts the design to the lines of the seat, etc. Those who have both skills Upholstery and Trimmer sometimes use only the higher degree: Trimmer.
That's really interesting mate, and you're right, it's quite a complex process as you say, selecting the right materials, cutting, planning and design... it was an honour to be able to spend time with Rabbit in her domain, she's done an absolutely job on my seat!
How nice to see a Trimmer who knows their craft so well. You are very lucky Del. I think I will have to emigrate back to the UK if only for an excellent Trimmer.
Sure thing Steve, a very talented lady, and there's always post and shipping, you could send your seat over, have some conversations on Zoom and she'll send it back when done, why not drop her a line.
I have my very own lovely trimmer lady but I don't actually see the process only the beautiful result! So this was a very enjoyable video. What a skilled artisan she is. I'm also guilty of calling her an upholsterer. When she does purely vehicle work. Peace love and hugs to all. ✌️❤️🤗
Wow, what a nice transformation! I totally see what you mean about how the new visual changes the "feel" of the whole seat profile, without actually altering the physical dimensions. Quite brilliant, really. One of the things I cringe away from the most, is when Hipsters get a hold of a bike and make it a "Cafe Racer" complete with a flat as a board, quilted light brown vinyl seat, utterly ruining any nice lines or looks that might have been possible, lol.
Both bikes are looking just awesome these days! I'm just back into town from another stint of work in the 'bush' and it's great to get caught back up with your projects! How great to have connections to such a great Fitter - beautiful work! I am finally back on the bike here as of a few days ago....what a lousy Spring it's been for weather!! Cheers to you both...ride safe!
Hey Allen, good to hear you're well and having some time at home where you can now enjoy your bike... I know you've said before the weather's not been brilliant, the same here (obviously not as bad), but finally the sun has come out at long last... you ride safe mate, enjoy your time off, chat soon, D&Px
@@Moonfleet41 Really appreciate that you always take the time to reply to me, thank you! Got a 10 day trip planned for late June, looking forward to that!! ATB
I've reupholstered a few car seats and some of the furniture in my home (my sewing machine will handle most fabrics and vinyl's but not leather), but I'm strictly an amateur. There's nothing like the services of a real professional if you want something other than a basic recover job. Edit: The seat on that Bonnie was amazing!
@@Moonfleet41 Her skill level and artistry is over the top! Just the best! Now that I know she rides that Triumph Bonneville. Awesome! Take care, Ride Safe.
Excellent finished seat, that lady certainly knows her job del. Great video of a professional trimmer at work. Enjoy your day Del/Penny all the best. Don.
Thanks Don, it was an honour to be invited along and see the process, it makes you realise what work goes in to custom seats! Have a great weekend yourself, D&Px
I realy liked the way you interact with others to bring a culmination of quality craftwork, this is what life is all about Dell, we help each other to help ourselves, also love the finished seat.
Thanks buddy, we are always extremely selective of who we collaborate with and it's a true honour to collaborate with Rabbit, and not only recieve a fabulous seat, but also a masterclass in trimming!
Madame Lucky Foot definitely has her ducks in a row! That is some very fine work!... I got a little chuckle at the beginning, when you two were removing staples. In typical manly fashion, Delboy was giving it his all, feverishly removing staples in an attempt to set the new world record for the quickest staple-removal time... Meanwhile, the lovely lady, while completely blowing our Delboy out of the water in speediness and efficiency, nonchalantly looks over as if to say "what? are we racing here? Perhaps I should really try to go quickly..." The results speak for themselves. That seat looks great! Enjoy the weekend, you two :)
You read it so well buddy, even at my fastest speed she had to slow down so I could keep up! It was a great day out and more to come in the future! Have a great weekend there yourself, D&Px
I'm jealous of Triumph and Suzuki owners. Your seats come off so easy. My Ural seat has a big nut underneath behind the tank and two Allen nuts up under the seat coming in from below the rear fender. Nothing really under there so I guess once you get it on, it's not coming off.
Wonderful job for a rainy day, Del. Your new seat looks much better than the old one. The big Suzuki is getting on nicely, a clean muscle bike. Cheers, Günter/Nürnberg
What a beautiful seat. I always love watching a tradesperson at work, she made an extremely complex job look simple and you look like you made a new fluffy friend. Great video Del👍
Great video, Penny and Del! Thanks for taking us along on the field trip and Lucky Foot has done a bang up job on your seat! Take care, dear friends. Be well and ride safe!
Thanks buddy, I'm really happy with the results, it's not just a nice looking job but seriously comfortable too.. amazing how the new cover makes it actually softer to sit on.!
What a Great looking seat ! and professionally done ! You dont realise how much skill and talent goes into the seat till you see it made in front of you ! Have a good weekend Del !
Nice going mate, if you dropped both seats down to her she could work a joint theme on both to tie them in, drop her a line buddy, link is in thed description!
.Great video Del & Penny. That is an outstanding job by lucky foot, she is an artist of the trimming craft. it looks excellent mate. Penny and you have a relaxing weekend and take care. Cheers
So glad you showed her performing her magic. So many times we just drop off items and pick them up when they're ready, we don't usually see them doing their work. Nice to see she put you to work too, or did you volunteer? ;)
That looks fabulous Del, I'm well impressed. I'm curious to know about water getting through the stitching and sitting between the film layer on the foam and the cover. Wouldn't it wet you when sitting on the seat as it seeps through the stitch holes?
